Unemployment, especially youth unemployment, is one of the major challenges of contemporary Europe in a constantly changing Labor market: statistical data show that in Europe as many as seventy million people do not have adequate basic and transversal skills. The 8 Key Competences, which Europe conceives as a basis for lifelong learning, define a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that individuals need for personal fulfilment and development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment. Among these, the spirit of entrepreneurship (understood as an entrepreneurial mind-set) plays a fundamental role in the greater employability of young people and adults, but at the same time communication in foreign languages, digital competence, learning to learn, social competence and civic, or mobility education, represent another fundamental requirement in the scenario of the European Labor market.Young Europeans, especially those at risk of marginalization, in conditions of social or economic disadvantage, often perceive themselves as without the power of personal development and suffer from a low level of self-esteem in managing their training, life situations and work. These premises, common to all the organizations involved in the proposal, have created the need to learn and adopt innovative practices for entrepreneurship education, improving the training offer aimed at young people between 18 and 29 years old. The project promotes the exchange of good practices between teachers and trainers in the sense of creating new approaches to the training path that help improve youngsters' skills and stimulate their motivation to learn. We therefore intend to offer this target the opportunity to enhance basic, personal, social and organizational skills.Ent4Neet intends to implement an exchange of good practices between youth organizations in order to implement a pilot course accompanied by a manual (so-called Handbook) addressed to youth workers who at various levels are involved in the education of young people. The intent is to stimulate entrepreneurship and communication skills, integration and active citizenship of young people, especially Neet, including those in conditions of economic / social / cultural disadvantage, by proposing a model that can be replicated and transferred to various sectoral and geographical realities.First of all, a research carried out among companies and employers at local and transnational level will highlight the soft skills most sought after by the Labor Market. The resulting final report will be the premise for the exchange of good practices and the course for teachers and trainers who will be the subject of the Handbook, OER of the project. A short-term staff training event is planned for 20 youth workers from the 4 countries of origin of the partners. Subsequently, thanks to the skills acquired, pilot courses will be carried out at local level (for at least 50 young people between 18 and 29 years old). 20 of these young people will also have the opportunity to participate in a transnational mobility (blended mobility of young people) which will seek to deepen the skills and knowledge acquired in the pilot courses.The project approach is cooperative and is based on non-formal training and techniques such as active and participatory learning, learning by doing and peer-to-peer training.The exchange of good practices, the identification and involvement of target groups, the Handbook containing the soft skills report sought by the World of Work and innovative ways of entrepreneurship education will be the main results of Ent4Neet.The impact of the project will also be visible thanks to the statistical surveys on the sample of beneficiaries even after the end of the project. The project will continue to produce results beyond its end. Its sustainability is intrinsic since it is a project intended to enhance key competences and training standards regarding the training modules and teaching methodologies related to teaching and learning processes in the Youth sector.The project web portal will continue to exist after the end of the project and therefore access to all products made will continue to be guaranteed. Besides, all subjects involved in the project partnership are training institutions and youth organizations with experience in supporting young people for the development of skills related to entrepreneurship. Therefore, each of them will insert the training module created among their own training tools of the youth workers, teachers, trainers and educators.
