Project Summary

The context analysis shows that, in every partner country, the COVID-19 pandemic has not only limited the way people can relate to each other and perform their most basic every-day-tasks, but has also had a significant impact on the regular delivery of education, training and youth policies.
At such a critical time for our societies, access to education is proving, more than ever, to be essential to ensuring a swift recovery, while promoting equal opportunities among people of all backgrounds.

In light of these exceptional circumstances, the SIE project takes up the challenge to confirm the role of education and training as the main instrument supporting youth social innovation, education and training as well as providing opportunities for personal, socio-educational and professional development of youth people in Europe and beyond, with the aim of leaving no-one behind.

This instruments are definded in the following two IOs:

* IO1- Storytelling Mentorship Guideline for Youth : How to mentor young people to start their own business

This Intellectual Output is a support tool for youth workers to Mentor and Stimulate Youth Social Entrepreneurship in their youth organisations and communities. Its main aim is to strengthen mentoring skills of youth workers, to be able to fully follow a Youth Entrepreneurship Process, from idea development to realization and provide the necessary support for the idea to be realized.

* IO2- Storytelling Training kit on Entrepreneurship for Youth :

This is a youth support video tool, to show that social entrepreneurship is possible in the context of COVID-19. It introduces Entrepreneurship (Social) training related to Entrepreneurship in her lifelong learning. It is divided into two parts.
– The first part is a training curriculum for young people to conduct training and learning activities on the topic of youth entrepreneurship.
– The second part is composed of the methods and practices from youth work and non-formal education, that youth people can use to develop and stimulate entrepreneurship on local, national or international level.

The intellectual results of the projects round out the projects aim to motivate youth organizations to support youth entrepreneurship and further broaden this topic, develop the capacities of young workers, reflect on the necessary competencies of young workers, act as motivators of young people for entrepreneurship and to motivate their lifelong learning skills to improve in this area.

Additionally, the SIE project will be also benefit from the involvement of stakeholders. These organisations will contribute indirectly to the implementation of specific tasks/activities and support the dissemination and sustainability of the project. This partnership ensures a relevant dissemination network with great potential to meet the project objectives.
In order to ensure that SIE Project achieves its objectives, the following activities will be carried out:
– 4Transnational Projetc Meetings to manage, develop and control de activities of the project.
– 6Multiplier Events, one per country participating in SIE Project.
– 1 Learning activity, “Short-term joint staff training event”, in Romania. This activity will be essential to ensure that the SIE products and results are adjusted to the current reality of Europe, and to the needs of young people when developing a social entrepreneurship project with a cultural background.

The Dissemination Plan will be developed by Asociatia D.G.T., as Dissemination responsible; due its huge experience and network. The Dissemination Plan will be subject to compliance with the project objectives and specific dissemination objectives, reaching each detailed target audiences, taking into account their profile, needs and preferences. Its activities will ensure:
– Dissemination of the project, its outputs, results and synergies.
– Transparency in implementation.
– Accessibility of people involved and non-participants.
– Transfer and capitalization of expected results.

Creative entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship are elements with an immense versatile application capacity in multiple environments. For this reason, sustainability characterizes the SIE dissemination since the first moment, assuming the following facts:
1) Characteristics of the outputs, outcomes, and associated materials. It will be designed allowing its application by target people, but also as a present or future application tool in multiple contexts; offering a flexibility in its contents and structure that enables its use, application or processing in multiple environments.
2) Dissemination and scope configuration. SIE project establishes an ambitious Dissemination Plan with collaboration of the important networks of stakeholders, associated partners and regular collaborators of the partners involved.
3) SIE project will promote free access to all the materials produced, as a way of increasing its scope and sustainability.
