Objectives

Unemployment, the expression of "inflation" of jobs, is the very important economic factor for a country. The problem of unemployment in among young people is mostly determined by the fact that they acquire certain skills through their studies completed, but the lack of experience encumbers the potential of accessing jobs in the labor market. In July 2022, 2,630 million young people (under 25) were unemployed in the EU, of which 2,173 million in the euro area. In July 2022, the youth unemployment rate was 14.0% in the EU and 14.2% in the euro area, down from 14.2% and, respectively, 14.4%. Compared to June 2022, youth unemployment fell by 55,000 in the EU and by 35,000 in the euro area. Compared to July 2021, youth unemployment fell by 329,000 in the EU and by 244,000 in the euro area. The countries with the lowest unemployment are the Czech Republic 2.3%, Poland 2.6%, Germany and Malta with 2.9% each. The highest unemployment is in Spain 12.6% and Greece 11.4%. In July 2022, youth unemployment in the countries selected in the project was: Czech Republic 6.3%, Hungary 10.8%, Italy 24.0 %, Greece 28.6 %, Spain 26.9%. Source: Eurostat The severity of the post-COVID-19 crisis, and especially the energy crisis, which young people face, determined the Commission European to consider coaching as one of the main topics on the EU's political agenda, a main tool in combating youth unemployment and social exclusion. The entrepreneurial spirit among young people must be an important part of the political strategy to support the young generation from today in order to meet the EU's objectives on growth, employment, education and social inclusion and with a view to reducing youth unemployment in the European Union. We developed this project to meet the needs of young Europeans and especially those disadvantaged in the environment rural, both us and the selected partners. In rural areas it is more difficult to implement a sustainable business and especially financially supported, and young people drop out before they even start. Through this project we want to raise awareness of the implementation of the European Commission's strategies in an active and practical, easy way to be understood by young people from different disadvantaged backgrounds. The aim of the project is to develop the entrepreneurial spirit in the field of greening local communities, by creating new business opportunities and for the creation of new jobs. We offer the opportunity for 36 young people and 6 leaders from Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Greece and Spain to understand the concept of entrepreneurship, start up, scale up, promotion and sustainability of a business in the rural environment, for the purpose ensuring financial independence, creating new jobs in the community where they live, providing goods and services adapted to the needs of the community. The main objectives of the project were: 1) developing the spirit of sustainable entrepreneurship, for 36 young people and 6 group leaders from the 6 partner countries; 2) to train 36 young people and 6 group leaders from the 6 partner countries in management and business management sustainable from rural areas; 3) sensitizing the 36 young people and 6 group leaders from the 6 partner countries, in the development and implementation of small businesses sustainable, and not only, from rural areas; 4) developing the skills to promote a sustainable business in the rural environment for 36 young people and 6 group leaders from the 6 partner countries. 5) the development of creativity and innovative thinking of 36 young people and 6 group leaders in the implementation of sustainable businesses in rural environment, through simulation activities, fair trade and discussions with an experts. All project objectives were achieved through education and non-formal methods. The project, through its objectives, supports the Erasmus+ Program by involving young people from rural areas in European mobilities, the development of the civic spirit, of entrepreneurship and the inclusion of disadvantaged young people in all phases of the project. Before selecting partners, we had constant discussions with potential partners, concluding that we have the same ones needs, namely the need to develop the spirit of entrepreneurship among young people, especially those from villages; the need to have young people actively involved in the community they belong to by producing and delivering needed goods and services the community as well as other beneficiaries. Through this project we trained 36 young people, who understood and assimilated the stages of developing a business in the rural environment, where most young people are reluctant to start a business because of the difficulties they face. Also through this project, we answered how to face the fear of possible failure, the main reason why young people do not want to be entrepreneurs.
