Webinars represent one of the latest innovations in distance and online learning, providing the possibility for educators and learners to interact and collaborate in real time, overcoming the old barriers related to distance learning (lack of immediate feedback for the most). These new technologies allow the online classroom to come as close to the real classroom, as virtually possible. Importantly, many of these technologies are increasingly available for free or for a modest cost. The project represents a continuation of previous efforts to promote webinar-based education in the SEE region, focusing its attention on provision of online training opportunities for young people for skills that are still considered deficient in the SEE region: business development, online entrepreneurship, and project management. The project is innovative in that it promotes the use of innovative educational methodologies which are generally underutilized in the region and provides online distance learning trainings on topics which are of interest and relevance to young people, and which are not sufficiently covered by the present educational offer. The following activities were implemented in the frame of the project: A1 Organization of four (4) transnational project partner meetings. A2/O1 Development of three (3) webinar curricula (business development, online entrepreneurship, and EU project management). A3/O2 Regular update of one (1) regional web-portal on e-learning with relevant content. More than 800 articles containing news, information about webinar-based education and training opportunities were disseminated.A4/O3 Organization of at least thirty-six (36) webinars (12 by project partner). A total of 45 webinars were organized for a total of 573 young people from the SEE region.The key target group of the project activities were young people in the SEE region. Young people were targeted through dissemination of information on available webinars, new training opportunities from other providers published on the web portal. The web portal and the Facebook page of the action regularly disseminated informative and interactive content, and stimulated feedback from the target audience, through comments, discussions, quizzes, etc. The portal and the Facebook page also disseminated the intellectual outputs produced in the frame of the project (video lectures, recorded webinars, etc.). A multiplier event , a Regional Conference on E-Learning Methodologies was organized for 40 participants from the region - educational providers, education experts, learners and trainers, where the project intellectual outputs were presented; participations also discussed the development of online learning and their pratical experiences with webinar technologies in online learning.The key impact the project is expected to produce is to increase the provision of webinar-based education in the SEE region, and to increase the number of young people enrolled in non-formal education. Young people directly benefitted from the provision of webinar offer in the frame of the project (webinar courses in business development, online entrepreneurship and EU project management), skills which are in demand and for which young people show interest.
