Democracy and Growth
Start date: Dec 31, 2014, End date: Apr 15, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

„Democracy and growth” was a contact making event, KA1, training and networking of youth workers, jointly designed by members of five youth NGOs from Greece, Poland, Italy, Portugal and Romania. It was targeted at leaders of NGOs identified by partner organizations to contribute to the entrepreneurship education of youth workers and through them to spreading entrepreneurship ideas to young people in NGOs in participating countries. Specifically, the project was to gather a motivated group of people, with knowledge of their organizations, improve their knowledge on democracy and growth and interrelation with youth participation and to plan new projects in this area, and maybe also to form a sort of a network for future collaboration. The project objectives reached out to youth NGOs far beyond the limited number of event participants, but the event greatly contributed to the self-development of participants too. It was run by 25 participants and facilitators from 5 EU countries and open to young people from the region of Crete. Active contribution of participants enriched mostly non-formal working methods aimed at unleashing creativity and innovation in youth work. Importantly, this event aimed to strengthen cooperation between youth NGOs to run many youth projects in the future. As a result there was a transfer of knowledge between participants on entrepreneurship education and its linkage with the growth of democracy in Europe. In addition quality follow up projects emerged and organizations co-operation was established and strengthened. Participants achieved their own individual results by participating in the high quality learning process, with serious evaluation during and at the end of it.
