Alternativi International team is happy to announce that as part of project ” Entrepreneurship 4 Youth” the partner organizations from Estonia
, Bulgaria , Spain
and Portugal
have met in Parnu, Estonia on 22 of February 2018 to launch the start of the project. E4Y is a long term strategic partnership project that aims to provide to youth workers all the necessary skills and competencies in order to be able to understand and deliver entrepreneurial learning.
The specific objectives to achieve or goals are:
-To provide youth workers a better understanding of entrepreneurship and the role of non-formal learning in supporting entrepreneurship among young people.
-To give youth workers practical methods, tools and practices that they can adopt and adapt to their context and so make it easier to promote entrepreneurship among young people.
-To promote peer learning activities in order to enhance the skills and competences of youth workers in delivering entrepreneurial learning.
-To compose a set of learning materials as open educational resources (OER);
-To develop a digital guide for youth workers to support youth entrepreneurship.
-To explore existing programmes supporting youth work and youth entrepreneurship.
We will pursue two lines of actions to respond to the lack of knowledge, skills, methods, techniques, and tools that impede youth work to contribute to the entrepreneurial learning in young people. In the first line, we will design and realize an e-learning course (IO1) to help youth workers learn new ways and the extent to which entrepreneurial learning is being applied through youth work to address youth unemployment and facilitate young people’s participation in the economy and in society. Through e-learning lectures, discussion, and exercises, the essential aspects of the entrepreneurial learning will be covered.
The second line, we will develop a Digital Guide (IO2) that will contain all the good practices drafted taking into account the experience and the opinion of all participants in which the consortium will identify the best approaches to foster entrepreneurial learning in youth organization for promoting youth employability. This will also include all the knowledge gained by youth workers during the implementation of the TEs activities.
