Project Summary

This project was created to promote youth excellence in knowledge, to develop their entrepreneurial competences and the capacity to face societal challenges, along with responsible research, innovation, and critical thinking.
The project partners coming from Portugal, Romania, Spain, and Bulgaria were able to maintain a structured bridge between schools, youth associations, government departments, and the business sector, with a focus on including people with different needs and with fewer opportunities in entrepreneurship education programs, due to the richness of their combined resources.
A pedagogical proposal about entrepreneurship education was developed and implemented based on a set of tools and best practices developed by each of the partners, which were shared and analyzed during the project with the aim to mainstream them, making them available in a Manual to many other partners around Europe and other regions of the world.
In summary, this project mapped inclusive and innovative educational approaches towards entrepreneurial learning, while at the same time focusing on youth and employability. This allowed the project partners to promote the entrepreneurial education of young people and the use of new methodologies to promote educational success and integration into the digital society.
Therefore, we believe that our project was in line with the Europe 2020 Strategy and constituted a strong contribution toward the EU Youth Strategy, given that the project specifically contributed to promoting education for entrepreneurship, social and environmental entrepreneurship among young people; as well as to promote youth empowerment by strengthening autonomy and participation, including e-participation, active citizenship of young people, social inclusion of all young people, critical thinking and digital literacy among young people and their sense of initiative, in particular in the social field.
The project also contributed to strengthen the transnational cooperation between regions under-represented in the Program, with the Outermost Regions (the Azores and Canaria Island region and rural areas where our international partners are active).
Thus, the project achieved the successful creation of a partnership in articulation with different European organizations, establishing a competent, credible and focused consortium in the areas of education for youth entrepreneurship, digital employability and social inclusion.
