Project Summary

Against the background, of high youth unemployment in Europe and shortcomings in formal and non-formal educational processes to equip young people with adequate skills and competences for the labour market, the project “Get Ready for Life – Youth Entrepreneurship Education for Personal Development” aims to enhance organisational capacities and international cooperation on youth entrepreneurship education in order to strengthen civil society activities for the development of young peoples` skills in risk-taking and problem solving that facilitate achievement of life goals.Concretely, the project aims to achieve three project objectives:- To strengthen the competences of youth workers in providing youth entrepreneurship education for young people- To develop comprehensive educational materials for youth entrepreneurship education programmes focussing on pursing and achieving life goals, entrepreneurial thinking and soft skills development of young people with fewer opportunities living in deprived urban and rural areas- To increase the use and quality of international mobility activities for young people`s personal developmentThe project is composed of a combination of qualification programmes for youth workers and young people, research, the development of educational resources and the realisation of local youth entrepreneurship initiatives addressing societal challenges on local level in Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Georgia:- Training course on youth entrepreneurship education- Training of trainers on youth entrepreneurship education- Research on practices on soft skill development and entrepreneurial thinking – Training module development for youth entrepreneurship education- Local training courses on soft skill development and entrepreneurial thinking for young people- Local youth entrepreneurship activities- Networking seminar on international mobility programmes for personal development of young peopleWith this activity bundle, the project offers a joint European approach of civil society organisations to youth entrepreneurship education, particularly in view to soft skill development and entrepreneurial thinking as key transversal competences for young people for achievement of their life goals.Thus, the project is not just another proposal to multiply existing approaches and methods on entrepreneurship education for development of business ideas and social enterprises but aims to enlarge the educational dimension of youth entrepreneurship education to those young people who do not wish to become entrepreneurs but aim to improve valuable employability skills such as communication skills, teamwork and collaboration, adaptability, problem solving, critical observation, conflict resolution.The 20-months project is a joint cooperation project of civil society organisations from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Turkey, Lithuania and the Netherlands.
