Project Summary

The Purpose of the project was to develop supportive environment and two experiential learning programs (one local, one international), that activate youth to realize their potential, recognize and take advantage of the opportunities of their local communities and successfully enter labor market. The project is a transfer of good practice from Romanian partner organization to Slovenia and a joint program development, used in local and intercultural environment. Partner organizations developed two experiential programs and empowered themselves for achieving higher standards and more efficient work with youth.
Project results are:
• Program »From idea to product«. Experiential learning program for socially excluded and long term unemployed youth. Participation in the program equips youth with new knowledge, skills and experiences, which they lack and need to successfully integrate in the business world. And individually or in a team develop their own idea and establish an enterprise.
• Training course »Set up your social enterprise«, which enables youth in a multicultural or local environment to gain entrepreneurial skills and be more active in the environment they live in.
• »Pospeševalnik« – platform, which enables youth, who are already entrepreneurs or are starting their independent entrepreneurial path, to promote their products through setting up window displays, online and promotion in local and regional media.
• Two young people have stepped on an independent entrepreneurial path.

Project involved young people of different profiles. The majority of young people had higher education or were just before the graduations (which for various reasons had been postponed for many years). Young people jobless for several years, young precarious workers, who did not know which career path to follow, and young entrepreneurs as well as the one who have just embarked on an independent entrepreneurial path.
