According to Europe 2020, Education and Training 2020 and Erasmus+ strategies, education and training represent the foundation for innovation, youth employment and inclusive growth. Through this project, we help youth workers and NEET youth to acquire entrepreneurial competences. The cooperation and expertise of each partner will increase the quality of entrepreneurial education model we propose for the formal and non-formal environments. “Start up and pass on” supports youth workers in developing and sharing effective innovative methods in entrepreneurial education to reach out NEET youth. A gain of entrepreneurial skills, attitudes and competences for youth workers from the EU and Eastern Partnership will therefore foster the capacity building of youth work at European level. This aim will be reached by designing 3 different safe learning environments (1 TC and 2 CBY) where they can focus on innovation, creative and start-up processes and share their know-how focusing on personal and professional skills development. They will discover the feedback culture, based on collaboration and powerful questions and how to create opportunities to meet the needs of NEET youth. Youth workers will design game experiences based on interactive learning in order to help young people to gain skills, know-how and confidence, necessary to create sustainable business models that connect local needs and resources. We will encourage them to use the new curricula created for the A2, the model from A3 and the boardgame from A4 in daily activities. Objectives:1) Create a network of international youth workers and prepare them to become multipliers of entrepreneurial education through 1 TC and 2 CBY2) Foster the inclusion and employability of 540 young people from 6 countries by organizing local multiplying workshops and using tools based on learning through games and non-formal education developed by the youth workers trained previously3) Raise awareness regarding the importance of entrepreneurial education in formal and non-formal educational environments and promote developing and learning opportunities for NEET in the field of entrepreneurshipThe project is aligned to the Horizontal Priority of Erasmus+: the activities planned develop relevant and high-quality skills and competences among youth workers and young people in order to foster employability and socio-educational and personal development, as well as participation in civic and social life. The project outcomes are:1) One physical toolbox with all the materials needed by youth workers or teachers who want to do a 1-2-day workshop on entrepreneurial education for young people, with clear instructions on curricula and methodology2) One board game about start-up process for youth workers and teachers that can be used in formal and non-formal educational systems
