Project Summary

This project focused on trying to bring added value to the entrepreneurship education and youth work for entrepreneurship.
The project activities enhanced the existing youth work training models and curricula for entrepreneurship with the elements of EL for the new era entrepreneurship. The project has been designed to create a quality – innovative training model for entrepreneurship youth work, covering the existing need for modernisation of EL through youth work, as well as the needed learning tools to support a quality youth work.

Project aimed to develop strategic tools and motivate/empower youth workers for enriching youth work activities with quality entrepreneurial education and learning, in order to address change in young mind-sets to inspire a new set of values inclined towards risk taking, venture creation and self-development for new era entrepreneurship.

Participants of the project were:
– 8 staff / project managers and assistants;
– 12 teachers/trainers/researchers, youth workers and technicians working on the intellectual outputs;
– 86 participants of the multiplier events;
– 15 youth trainers – participants of the LTTA;
– 497 youngsters involved in the e-learning course so far.

Project consisted of following activities:
A1 – Project Management
M1 – Kick-off meeting
O1 – “Guidebook on Quality Entrepreneurial Learning through Youth Work”
O2 – “Curriculum (Training toolkit) on Quality Entrepreneurial Learning through Youth Work for Youth organisations”
O3 – “E-learning course Quality Entrepreneurial Learning”
E1, E2, E3 – National Open conferences on Quality Entrepreneurial Learning through Youth Work, in Croatia, Sweden and Germany
C1 – LTTA – Training of trainers “Quality Entrepreneurial Learning through Youth Work”
E4 – International Open conference on Quality Entrepreneurial Learning through Youth Work, in United Kingdom
M2 – Final project meeting

Results envisioned and attained:
– Over 40 multipliers (youth workers, volunteers and management staff – 10 from each partner organisation) using our intellectual outputs / the youth work materials in their work and testing their effectiveness locally both personal and on organisational level
– Over 80 local multipliers trained in all 4 countries about the importance of youth work in promoting quality Entrepreneurial Learning in accordance with the new era entrepreneurship
– Around 500 (young) people visiting the e-learning platform, using it, testing it and giving feedback about it to the organisers.
– 15 youth trainers/workers, participants at the LTTA, have been directly empowered for developing quality Entrepreneurial Learning youth work programmes. They have further organised small multiplication trainings in their sending organisations, with each having at least 7-10 additional youth workers/trainers/volunteers participating. This resulted in additional 34 youth work providers / youth trainers empowered and encouraged to use the developed intellectual outputs in their entrepreneurship youth work.

The impact envisaged and attained is empowered and encouraged youth trainers and youth workers willing to work on the implementing the innovative entrepreneurial learning in NFE / youth work activities.

The potential longer-term benefit is increase of youngsters becoming entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals thanks to the quality implementation of youth work entrepreneurial learning activities for new era entrepreneurship and up-to-date relevant employability skills of youngsters in communities.
