Enterprise YOUth
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

?Enterprise YOUth? was focusing on exploring the Key Competence ?Sense of Initiative and Entrepreneurship?. The main aim was to provide youth workers with space and tools to discover the competence from different angles, to clarify their own understanding of it and to equip them with practical tools and methods to work with when helping young people to explore their own sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. Providing space for experiencing entrepreneurial thinking - and practicing initiative taking - is becoming crucial in all fields of education, therefore we recognized the need to work on developing practical tools for, and approaches towards working with this Key Competence in order to help toward creating successful long-term solutions for combating the high level of unemployment of young people across Europe. As one of the priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme, during this training course we tackled social entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial skills of young people in general, working with Key Competence profiles: allowing participants to understand how to work with different competences based on the practice of working with this one specific competence from different angles. Taking under consideration the needs, the content of this training course was based on the following objectives: ? To gain a broader understanding of what a ?sense of initiative and entrepreneurship? means ? To introduce new and innovative methods to work with in this area ? To explore ways to empower young people to be more active in their communities through creative methodologies ? To gain skills and understanding of how to work on this competence with young people ? To share best practices and useful methods and to gain innovative ideas ? To discover opportunities for future co-operations and projects within Erasmus+ Youth Programme With this training course we seeked to improve the level of key competences and skills of youth workers and NGO staff with a special attention to the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship in order to improve the quality of their work with young people. After participation in this training course, participants are more able to work on the development of this competence with young people. They have a set of tools and methods to use as well as ideas on how to address this issue in their communities. The training course was based on an interactive and participative approach. During the training methods of non-formal and informal education will be used, such as individual, pair and group work, creative workshops, theatre methods, simulation and situation games, problem solving and debate exercises, presentations and discussions, indoor and outdoor elements, interactive presentations, case studies, facilitated debates and discussions. Participants got information about about Youthpass and the Erasmus+ Programme. The venue place of the project was Esztergom, Hungary. It was an 8 days long training course with 24 participants and 5 trainers/facilitators/experts/logistic assistants from the following countries: Hungary, United Kingdom, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, Romania, The Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Turkey, Sweden and Estonia.
