Entrepreneurship refers to an individual's ability to turn ideas into action. It includes creativity, self-confidence, adaptability, innovation, risk-taking and specific business skills as well as ability to plan and manage projects in order to achieve objectives. For a decade, entrepreneurship is on the agenda of European Union (EU). According to European Commission policy makers; there is a need to stimulate the entrepreneurial mind-sets of young people and to create a more favorable societal climate for entrepreneurship. We strongly believe that Erasmus + Programme and youth work has a very important role in creating awareness on youth entrepreneurship and equipping youngsters with the necessary knowledge and skills. Programme can be used as a very dynamic and effective tool to encourage young people to become entrepreneurial thinkers, take initiatives and social responsibility.Entrepreneurship education has the potential to contribute:* to the building of entrepreneurial mind-set and competences among the young citizens of Europe* to development of more creative and innovative nations within Europe* to society through more active citizenship among youngsters* to the growth of employment opportunities in the medium term“ENTER: Training Course on Youth Entrepreneurship” will be focused on youth entrepreneurship and promotion of European support systems for young entrepreneurs. The international training course (TC) is addressed to youth workers, youth leaders, project managers, trainers and representatives of youth organisations who can play a significant role in raising awareness about youth entrepreneurship and support young people to use their entrepreneurial potential. The programme of the training course is based on non-formal education tools, exchange of good-practices/examples that can be used and disseminated by the participants and via their organisations. So they will gain deeper knowledge about the aspects of youth entrepreneurship and learn about the tools that they can use to support or coach young people. The development of an international training programme with a systematic approach, with clear objectives, learning outcomes, targeting the needs of youngsters will also encourage participants to focus on this area and develop collaborations for future projects. Throughout the project participants will develop project ideas and gather in working groups to work on a business plan and they will learn how to coach or mentor young people on their entrepreneurship ideas (corporate, social or business ideas).
