The project “Dream, Believe, Achieve” 2nd edition, is a long-term capacity building project with the main goal of supporting the development of youth entrepreneurship among unemployed or low level employed youth from the rural areas of partnering countries Armenia, Georgia, Spain and Italy, who do not have enough skills and need a help to start their entrepreneurial path. The proposed project will be the second editions of “Dream, Believe, Achieve” project that all the project partners have been implementing since January 2018 and the wave of interest that “Dream, Believe, Achieve” project raised among youth in the partner countries made the four organizations realize the importance of its continuation and building on the wave of success of the first project at the same time creating a new project with more activities and larger involvement of youth as well as inviting one more partner from Spain, who will bring their expertise to the project. We decided that the proposed project will contribute to the reinforcement of EU initiatives in the entrepreneurship area and the EU2020 Strategy related to "Opening up education through new technologies". The 2nd edition of the project will focus more on the development of quality training materials related to delivering entrepreneurship and self-awareness training to youth groups in risk.In order to achieve the goals of the project we have chosen the following objectives:- developing and piloting an evaluation methodology for assessing young people's specific training needs;- develop and piloting a training methodology for young people based on entrepreneurship and self-awareness skills;- training youth workers/multipliers from partner countries to deliver entrepreneurship trainings and acting as multipliers- conducting ongoing dissemination campaign of project activities and results, including final international multiplier event.We realized that each of our organisations possesses specific expertise in the field of work with youth groups in risk, which will enrich the content and delivery of the entrepreneurship evaluation and training methodologies. Each country represented in our consortium has specific tradition in youth work development and their promotion as a tool for sustainable employment of young people, which will add diverse perspectives on the framework for our programme to be developed. Finally, through a transnational partnership we will provide opportunity for our staff members to engage in an international peer learning process, which will further foster their motivation and improve their quality performance.Besides our consortium shares common values of respecting cultural values and heritage, fostering social inclusion and promoting inclusive growth,sustainable development and good governance.
