The project: “The young entrepreneurs of today – active European citizens of tomorrow” is a training course which encourages cooperation, exchange of experience, skills and good practices between people working with youth and youth organizations. It will last 8 days and will take place in Gabrovo, in September 2014. The project will involve 44 participants from: Bulgaria, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Romania, Switzerland, Italy, Estonia, France, Lithuania, Belgium, Sweden, Iceland, Serbia, Croatia, Portugal, Denmark, Spain and Greece, three trainers and facilitators from Belgium, Serbia and Bulgaria and one person support staff from "Europe on the move").
The main goal of the project is: promotion of the Erasmus+ Programme and its significance to young European citizens by exchange of good practices among the partner organizations (POs) and improvement of the partnership and initiation of future successful projects, which will enhance the competence of young people and will increase their opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment.
The main activities of the project are: discussions, interactive presentations, games, visit of an orphanage, outdoor sports activities as well as cultural evenings. The working methods, which we have chosen are in conformity with the non-formal education: creative presentations, "ice-breakers", "energizers", "harkness discussion", "group building" games, “lessons learned”, “learning by doing”, methods for summarizing, working in small groups, evaluation methods, "World cafe" -. The main result which we expect to achieve is a well-built team of active European citizens, who, through the ESN network, which operates in more than 36 countries, will transfer their experience and knowledge to other young people all over Europe.
The specific goals are: delivering of information to the largest groups of young people, regarding the main priorities of the Erasmus+ as well as the importance of non-formal education; formation of skills for initiative and entrepreneurship, active involvement of young European citizens in the EU elections 2014 for the future development of Europe, organizational skills for realization of different events and encouragement of young and entrepreneurial people to be active European citizens, enhance intercultural dialogue, social inclusion of people from countries with fewer opportunities, tolerance and open-mindness, self-esteem and the self-empowerment of young people, employability, entrepreneurship and joint activities.
The participants will acquire project culture (skills for writing project proposals under European programmes such as Erasmus+ - the main financial instrument for implementing the ideas of young people). After returning to their countries they will begin to create own project proposals. This will increase Erasmus + popularity in Europe and will multiply its effect. The training will also have an impact on young people who will assist the local communities on voluntary basis through youth-driven project proposals.
_______________________________________TECHNICAL INFO IMPORTANT______________________________________________
EACH PO has filled in its information in the Participant's Portal of EACEA but has not been able to open the Erasmus+ menu on time, in order to have its PIC number associated as an NGO in the application form. That is why all POs have description as - "Others" in part C.3.1. It is easily seen in the mandate letters that all of them are NGOs.
