Learning From Each Other to Build the Future

Description

Europe is experiencing the period of changes in the youth policy. Therefore, the legitimate integration of the youth into the society and business world is one of the most important challenges for Europe’s future. Thus, is necessary to develop cooperation between European countries in the field of youth policy, mainly in school and educational sectors in order to provide sustainable future for the young generation in Europe.In the context of European cooperation in the field of education and according to the goals and objectives of the “Strategy Europe 2020” and the EU Youth Strategy, we are planning, within the framework of the Erasmus + project, to help young people to find their way in the changing society and help them with the development of new competences. “We want to encourage young Europeans to be the employer of tomorrow” (EU commissar Günter Verheugen) and to support them on the way to the independentand self-sufficient life.Based on the fact that the EU Commission considers work with youth as a means for teaching entrepreneurship and, among other things, has the important goal of promoting the development of entrepreneurial skills of young Europeans. We intend to change the upward trend of the early school dropout and reduce unemployment among younger generation.On the contrary: the embedding of the development of entrepreneurial skills and competences relating to many school subjects has become an important issue in all partner schools.The main goal of the project is to promote entrepreneurial education through all project activities. To ensure active, creative and motivated youth participation in the entrepreneurship education, the project intends to use innovative digital media.For achieving this goal we want to focus on the development of entrepreneurial competencies in our schools and entrepreneurial way of thinking in many subjects, and regard this effort as one of the most important issues in all partner schools.Six European schools have already joined this project. Pupils aged 15-18 (5-8 representatives from each school) will be integrated to the project including pupils with low motivation and learning difficulties and pupils from socially disadvantaged families. Also, those who are open for innovations and those who are ready to share their experiences will be welcomed to participate in the project. Except project participants non-involved pupils, school classes, experts, parents and teachers will be also integrated into the project. We are planning to engage into this project local authorities and public members, political and media representatives from all partner countries.Successful work on the project and fruitful results can be achieved through creative activities and effective methods that are focused on teaching entrepreneurial thinking and practicing and are adapted to European environment.It has the aim to develop the entrepreneurial way of thinking and acting adapted to the European reality. Through the cooperation of companies and participation in working processes young participants will have the possibilities to experience real business environment. „Business fundamentals”– will be trained in school simulation firms, where the participants will work as company employees. Due to participation in the project activities youth will be encouraged to learn the entrepreneurial key competences and to develop such qualities as curiosity, self-initiative, team spirit, social efficiency and independence. The focus is set on all project activities aimed at the development of youth creativity containing the principle of Peer-to-Peer Learning. These activities should overcome the traditional teaching-learning methods, that have been elaborated for the lessons based on cooperative and practical methods in order to develop an entrepreneurial way of thinking and acting. All results (photos, videos and digital learning games etc.) will be published on the project website. These materials can be used any time and are open for wide audience. The results of this project and the products for the entrepreneurial way of thinking and acting can influence the school long-term learning process, where various school subjects are involved: economics, computer science, foreign languages, arts-and-crafts, biology, geography and others. From this project we are expecting the increase of teachers’ professional competencies through innovations and steady exchange processes that strengthen the development of European cooperation with the companies and their representatives. The innovative event “European Day of Entrepreneurship” will become a school tradition and will be aimed at more effective promotion of entrepreneurship education in schools, thus ensuring sustainability. With a view to a common European future, our project will promote innovation-driven growth through cross-border European cooperation and the best possible exchange of experiences.
