We see in Stoicism one of the most important empowering philosophical schools whose principles can be applied to various aspects of life, including entrepreneurship and youth work. By incorporating Stoic principles into their mindset and decision-making, young people can develop a resilient and adaptive approach to the challenges and uncertainties inherent in business. Stoicism provides a philosophical framework that encourages personal and professional growth while promoting a calm and rational perspective, and it promotes rational thinking and objective evaluation of situations, so that decisions are based on facts, data and logical analysis rather than being swayed by emotions or external pressures. For a better understanding of entrepreneurship based on facts and logical analysis, we used the book “Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty”, which explores the relationship between political and economic institutions and their impact on the success or failure of nations. Its central thesis is that inclusive institutions lead to long-term prosperity, while extractive institutions result in poverty and failure. The project helped the involved youth workers to understand this relationship better, to analyse it from a youth work perspective and to apply their findings to their youth work. It also introduced the youth workers to the basics and foundational principles of Stoicism and how to incorporate them into their work to educate young people about entrepreneurship and support their personal and professional development. The youth workers learned and practiced different competencies, especially facilitation, which they had expressed a clear need to improve and gain. The aim of this project was to improve the competencies and quality of the youth work of 24 youth workers to combat youth unemployment through entrepreneurship education and Stoic philosophy. To achieve the main aim, the project had the following specific objectives: O1: To explore the roots, challenges, and socio-economic consequences of youth unemployment and how it can be addressed through youth work and non-formal education. O2: To promote entrepreneurial education through various philosophical schools, in our case the Stoicism. O3: To facilitate the exchange of good practices, methodological approaches and resources for youth work on improving employability skills between the participants and involved organisations. O4: To plan, develop and test non-formal learning activities and methods that can be used by participants and other youth workers to improve young people's employability skills. O5: To improve the skills of participants to design, facilitate and evaluate non-formal learning activities. O6: To strengthen the cooperation and networking between involved organisations by providing an opportunity for partnership building. O7: To promote the recognition and validation of knowledge, skills and competencies through non-formal education and Youthpass certificate. O8: To raise awareness about the Erasmus+ programme and the opportunities it provides in tackling youth unemployment and boosting the employability of youth workers and young people.
