Project Summary

Nowadays, the social entrepreneurship has been acknowledged as an effective means to the end of creating new jobs, improving the standard of living and encouraging the citizens’ participation in the decision making process at all levels. It can also contribute to the integration of marginal and precarious strata of the population, the creation of wealth and re-investment or making new investments in various countries across the globe.In order to enhance the social entrepreneurship in our countries, it would be absolutely necessary to supply the young people who dream of becoming social entrepreneurs with appropriate competences, contacts and the will to launch social entrepreneurs commensurate to their own profile & the needs of their milieu. In this context, we carried a long-term project to favor the experiences’ exchange and develop the competences of 24 youth workers and instructor designers who stem from 8 countries and 4 continents, so that they can come up with innovative educational methods about the social entrepreneurship and act as multipliers who will help this type of entrepreneurship to spread among the young people in their countries and elsewhere.Our project lasted 22 months, during which we set up the following activities:1) A 2-day transnational project meeting at Lefkas (Greece), during which the person in charge of the project of every partner organization met together in order to commonly piece together this project and determine the rules and the methods which will be applied. 2) A “job shadowing mobility” which lasted 15 days and allowed every one of the 16 youth workers including two deaf (one from Spain & one from Poland) to observe the implementation of one social entrepreneurship and the related education.3) Preparation of a research work which determine the needs of the youth of the various partners in terms of training and support opportunities about social entrepreneurship.4) A training course of 11 days in Poland, during which we create a virtual club for young people who are would-be social entrepreneurs, which will include a Moodle platform-based online course about social entrepreneurship for the benefit of the young people with different abilities.5) An experimentation of the above mentioned virtual club by the young people of the partners countries.6) Creating a technical and pedagogical manual for exploiting the above club (youtheclu.eu).7) A training course of 7 days in Vietnam during which we trained the 24 direct beneficiaries into becoming E-mentors in favor of the young people who benefit from the above mentioned club.8) Organization of a “carreer-day” by each partner organization, which we disseminated the results of the project in question and made the virtual club more widely known.9) Implementation and updating of the club through the involvement of the 24 E-mentors & the administrator of the club.10) A 2-day evaluation meeting carried in Benin, where a cooperation strategy was applied for the sake of the virtual club’s sustainability.
