ENTREPRENEURIAL NEIGHBOR
Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In present times the labor markets are full of risks and uncertainties, so the entrance to such markets represents a great challenge for majority of young entrepreneurs. The labor markets offer very few employment opportunities for the entire economically active population, thus the younger population will have to resort to innovative, creative and resourceful tactics while searching and developing their business ideas in order to create jobs and to insure their own future. The goal of this project is to increase and expand knowledge, skills and competences of young participants regarding entrepreneurship as well as to enhance networking among young people and to increase mutual cooperation in order to further creativeness and the development of entrepreneurial potential as well as individual ideas. Innovation and creativity of young people, which are key skills for achieving success in the business world, will also be encouraged and strengthened. The project will involve 33 young participants from Slovenia, Croatia and Austria between 18 and 30 years of age. The emphasis will be put on individuals with fewer opportunities.The youth exchange programme will offer different activities that will try to explain what a good business idea should consist of, share examples of good business practices as well as structures that offer support to young entrepreneurs while developing their business idea, etc. The main activity will be the so called “Marketplace of ideas”, where the participants will present their business ideas to successful local entrepreneurs, economy representatives as well as representatives of development and market -supporting institutions. Each business idea will receive constructive criticism, while the best idea will be rewarded. The planned working methods will include presentations, open discussions, working in groups, individual work, interactive workshops, self-reflection, creative workshops, debates, sharing examples of good practices, forums, casual socializing and etc. With this project, young people can gain new knowledge, skills and competences necessary for the development of new business ideas and further their creativeness as well as innovative thinking. We will improve our communication skills and our ability to work in an international team. Competent and capable young people have better opportunities to successfully execute their entrepreneurial ideas and can contribute to reducing the overall level of unemployment among young people and significantly advances the growth and progress of the European Union in general.
