Motivation of partners in this project is to “equip” young women with set of skills needed to work on personal development in fields of entrepreneurial intelligence and creating (self-)employment opportunities proactively in today’s reality of employment uncertainty and the world of extinction of many known jobs and occupation now and even more in the future. That new needed capacity is entrepreneurial intelligence - competence that is more or less neglected by education system and main factors of socialization, it can be trained and developed by gaining different skills, knowledge, attitudes through quality youth work.This project is strategic continuation of the partners’ endeavours to empower young women for their (self-)employment and entrepreneurship. This project is building up on the previous projects and brings added value to the organisations and respective communities/countries.Aim of the project is to build capacity of youth (work) organisations, their young women entrepreneurship empowerment centres on local level and their youth workers in competences for entrepreneurial mind-set development through youth work in our communities and on European level.The project activities are:- Activity 1 – Preparatory meeting - Activity 2 – Training course1: “Entrepreneurial learning, Intelligence and mind-set development through youth work”- Output 1 – Curriculum of the TC1- Output 2 – Online course with the topics related to the TC1- Activity 3 – Study visit: “Entrepreneurship education and support in Berlin”- Activity 4 – Training course2: “IntRApersonal aspect of Entrepreneurial mind-set development”- Output 3 – Curriculum of the TC2 - Output 4 – Online course with the topics related to the TC2- Activity 5 – Training course3: “Leadership, Teamwork and other intERpersonal skills within Entrepreneurial mind-set development” - Output 5 – Curriculum of the TC3 - Output 6 – Online course with the topics related to the TC3Activity 6 – Training course4: “Creative thinking as a crucial element of Entrepreneurial mind-set development” - Output 7 – Curriculum of the TC4 - Output 8 – Online course with the topics related to the TC4- Activities 7: Local dissemination events in 5 partner countries- Activity 8: Evaluation meeting - Reporting and Dissemination of resultsWe expect our project to impact a lot on youth workers from our youth (work) organisations and local entrepreneurship empowerment centres for young women through study visit, training courses and curriculums, as well as directly on unemployed youngsters / young women through online courses and the enlarged support tools and mechanisms in their communities for youth entrepreneurship education with focus on entrepreneurial mind-set development.

This project was aimed to build the capacity of youth (work) organizations, their young women entrepreneurship empowerment centers on a local level and their youth workers in competences for entrepreneurial mind-set development through youth work in our communities and on the European level. This was achieved through extensive list of objectives connected to educational activities, development of educational materials and organizing activities in local communities.
Despite today’s youth being the most educated generation ever, young people are more likely to work on short-term and informal contracts with low pay. In the EU, youth represent 38,5% of the total unemployed population, while 4,6 million people aged 15-24 do not have a job. Two-thirds of the unemployed youth population are women. If we consider that almost every 5th woman is a single mother, their position is very ungrateful. Because of this, our primary focus was on the young women empowerment.
