Student Entrepreneurship in Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The partnership, consisting of 5 secondary vocational schools from Czech republic, Austria, Sweden, Spain and Slovakia, has developed a project focused on student entrepreneurship. Its main objective is to increase students' knowledge about the business rules and job opportunities within the EU. The project is divided into theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, students will learn a lot about the differencies of starting a business in the project partner countries (including the obligations of companies to the state), about phenomena of social entrepreneurship and about characteristics and opportunities of the EU labour market. In the practical part, students gain new knowledge, skills and experience while presenting marketing of their firms and creating swot analysis. The partnership uses modern educational methods including collaborative learning, creative and critical thinking, active involvement of participants (preparation of SWOT analysis of student´s firms, organization of Trade fair of student´s firms) and use of ICT. Project participants are students aged 15-20 from vocational training or business field of study. The main project result is the Business guide to Europe that will consist of students´works and materials on the following topics: 1. „Specifics of starting a business in the partner countries with the emphasis on the company's obligations to the state in each country“ and "Social entrepreneurship in each country with examples of good practice" (survey on business conditions in partner countries and best students´ideas for social entrepreneurship across Europe). 2. „EU labour market“ (survey on most desirable positions, the necessary skills for different positions and professions and job opportunities for foreigners/ EU citizens in the participating countries).3. „ SWOT analysis“ (analysis of student´s firms). 4. „Marketing“ – (marketing presentations of student´s firms and students´recommendation). The project will increase students' knowledge about the (social) entrepreneurship, improve their level of skills for employability and new business creation, bring better orientation in the EU labour market and its opportunities and develop students´ language competences and digital skills. We assume project longer term benefits as it supports students´future career path, job migration within the EU and developement of new business.
