Current situation in southern Europe requires the assumption of new approaches from a multinational perspective. The devastating effects of the economic crisis with high unemployment rates get a new target which schools should react.Understand the skills needed for students in their near future, linking the school community to the business environment with a true entrepreneurial training are elements that should not be spread in time. Undoubtedly, families must assume significant role by engaging with these challenges.This project aims to increase the capacity and relevance of learning in education through innovative educational practices, provide key skills such as digital literacy, language proficiency and entrepreneurship, strengthen education / training and labor market linkages, promote social entrepreneurship and inter-regional cooperation and effectively involve families.Previous experience and communication via etwinning has made this project where participating schools from Croatia, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Turkey.The methodology is based on learning through projects involving the permanent school pupils, teachers and inexorably, associations of parents of students and businessmen circle.Activities range from the development of seminar and workshops, discussion forums, gathering information on DVDs, TEDS, tournaments debates, infographics, mass-media spaces, databases, short films, teaching units on entrepreneurship and education portal, along with the creation of cooperative social entrepreneurship.The purpose of development of these activities is to familiarize students with digital resources, understand the business reality of our surroundings, know where to guide the methodological strategies to link our educational systems to business, understand that skills and competencies required by the business world our current students and promote entrepreneurship education, especially solidarity entrepreneurship.The schools incorporate their contents in the annual school plan to discover and enhance skills and abilities that students should develop in the coming years when entering the job market.At this time you will understand the strengths and weaknesses of the business relative to other neighboring countries generating a real education for entrepreneurship.The achievement of these assumptions imply a mainly observable, regional, national, European and / or international, brutal impact locally in unemployment rates in the medium term.

As the economic crisis was starting to take its toll on European countries Turkey, Portugal, Croatia and Italy were also among the victims where youth unemployment rates reached high percentages. Young people are still pessimistic about their future job prospects, lack confidence in job skills and are reluctant to work for a start-up. Having paid the same bill, as partner schools we have come together to work collaborately in terms of sparking hope among our students through making them believe that they could create their own chances by realizing their true potential and putting it into use.In this project 24 students from different partner countries aged between 15 to 18 will come together at international workshops and take the opportunity to develop soft and entrepreneurial skills which will act as a motivation booster. As for the teachers it will provide the medium for exchanging good practices and adding up new skills to their teaching career.The main aim of the project is to develop competences (knowledge, skills, attitudes) of high school students that will guide them professionally, personally, socially - in today’s fast changing world. In order to achieve this, some of our objectives are to promote the 4C's: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity; give students valuable insight into their strengths and weaknesses by engaging them in creative group exercises and stimulation activities; foster entrepreneurial skills to help them set up their own businesses in the future and build up mutual understanding, solidarity and intercultural dialogue between students and teachers coming from different cultural backgrounds.The planned activities will be carried out through 4 workshops embracing different skills in Turkey, Croatia, Italy and Portual: The 4C's: Communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and entrepreneurship. Rather than theoretical content the focus will be on practical activities and games where students will be learning by doing. Online booklet, man-on-the -street- interviews, motivation videos, presentations about inspirational characters, SWOT analysis of students and TED talks about motivation are some of the products we would like to produce.The skills and competences aquired during the project will benefit students, teachers and institutions as a whole by creating a medium of cooperation and ensuring a motivational and satisfactory environment for enhanced learning and teaching. Students' soft skills may be improved by integrating the elements of these skills in the classroom or in extra-curricular activities. If we seize this moment and work together, we can help our students connect learning with real life and provide them with the necessary skills to prepare them for success.Teachers as well will have the chance to learn and use a wide array of skills which will guide them throughout their lives. The succesful relationships between teachers will lead to future collaboration and as for schools it will increase their European dimension. The most prominent scale in achieving success in the long run will be to see how well our students can use their soft skills in the future at university or in their working life.
