CSI: Civil Society Incubators
Start date: Dec 1, 2012,
“CSI: Civil Society Incubators” is a Training Course that embraces as main aim inspiring youth to develop mindsets and skills that are the foundations of an entrepreneurial culture. It will take place in the beginning of March in Serbia, a country “looking to its young entrepreneurial minds to shape a new nation as it marches toward economic recovery”.In fact, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor assumed that “there is evidence that young people are enthusiastic about starting businesses”. However, it is abundantly clear that young prospective entrepreneurs face numerous barriers.So, we plan to support young people overcoming different obstacles and facilitate the acquisition of the entrepreneurship key competence and enhance its development within the participants’ communities, thus improving the role of young people in society and the economy.Furthermore, thanks to the choice over non-formal education methods, we intend to actively involve the participants in the diverse working moments, sharing opinions, cooperating amongst themselves, learning from each other and ultimately conceiving project ideas together. Hence, we expect to generate an experience of great personal and professional growth with significant development of skills and competences that promote and facilitate the preparation and realization of projects and activities about youth entrepreneurship.Likewise, we intend to work as an important platform for discovering and sharing best practices, thus applauding examples of successful enterprise and spreading an idea of a responsible entrepreneur as great contributor to social development through the creation of comic strips which will represent the main outcome of the course and will be distributed to a wide audience of young people throughout Europe.
