The aim of the project is to develop international professional and social competences among school students in Poland, Germany and Italy, in particular vocational schools, through the development of a textbook with materials for use in formal and non-formal education. The goal of the project will translate into a long-term goal - equipping industry students with professional skills allowing them to move freely on the culturally diverse labor market and education, both in their country and outside. The result of the project will be a handbook in 4 languages (English German, Italian, Polish) for teaching international professional competences with 36 educational modules supplementing curricula with desirable competences on the market, which will bring education closer to the conditions of the international economy. Inadequate adjustment of the qualifications of school graduates to the needs of employers is a serious labor market problem, which intensifies the globalization process, requiring workers mobility and skills in working in multicultural teams. The curricula in the professions are monocultural, which distinguishes them from the actual market conditions and challenges faced by employees. Knowledge of a foreign language is not enough, for which international aspects of teaching are often imported.It is necessary to understand other cultures and the ability to face them. Pupils from peripheral areas affected by unemployment do not have the opportunity to acquire qualifications abroad. European projects and cross-sectoral cooperation are a chance here. In the project, joint educational modules will be developed by three partners from three countries, which will complement their curricula. They will be a universal tool, prepared for implementation during formal education, to increase the universality of application and give the opportunity of the largest possible group of young people to acquire international professional competences.The increase in the importance of international aspects of the profession should be expected in the context of the globalization of the economy, but also increased labor migration between countries and the high rate of youth unemployment in EU countries. The project assumed the use of the German experience of the MILENA project. The participation of 3 countries will allow for greater versatility and versatility of the product. In order to develop modules that best suit the needs of the economy, they will be included in the school project, employers and educational authorities that will contribute to the implementation of the product. As a result, cross-sectoral cooperation networks will be created that will support the implementation of the project's objectives and ensure its durability. Thanks to the international exchange of experiences, we will develop innovative solutions using European tools and increase the potential of VET institutions.

Partner organisations from Poland, Germany and Italy have been cooperating to define the mutual understanding of European entrepreneurship and exchange their experience on the situation of the young people (aged 16- 30) on the local, national and European market. Having defined together the major elements of the term “European entrepreneurship” the partners created the comprehensive “European Entrepreneurship Programme”, implemented and tested its effectiveness on the chosen group of the youth form the partner countries. All the partners involved perceive building entrepreneurial skill as extremely vital in shaping the potential of the youth, especially taking into account the fact that the majority of the young people involved come from underprivileged environments (geographically or socially) and they are not supported enough in terms of entrepreneurial skills. Building and reinforcing those skills will have a positive effect on their further learning and career paths. In the long term it could contribute to building the European economic youth potential.The programme is based on the innovative working method –Madia Lab which enables to successfully activate young people and shape their entrepreneurial life attitude which is defined and understood by all the partners as: • openness to mobility on the national and international level, • overcoming mental barriers and certain behavior patterns, • flexibility and openness to change,• the ability to set clear goals and maintain the internal motivation, • team work and intercultural communication skills, understanding and accepting different team roles, the ability to work in virtual teams. The achieved aims of the project:• creating the comprehensive workshop based on “European Entrepreneurship Programme” the aim of which will be to build and reinforce entrepreneurial skills among the youth, especially the NEETs group,• further building the partnership capacity through cooperation and mutual work on the programme to activate the youth• preparing interactive and traditional tools to diagnose and build the above defined entrepreneurial skills which will be implemented and reviewed during the workshop• promoting the mobility of the youth and the idea of international networking and cooperation• sharing the experience and working on good practice hot work with the youth • creating and maintaining online platforms to enable virtual cooperation, experience sharing, material evaluation by the experts and the youth, virtual working environment.The target group:30 young people aged 16-30 being unemployed from all the partner countries (approx. 10 participants per country), in particular those belong to NEET group or under the threat of being in the group. The target group also involves: the representatives of the partner countries, 8 chosen experts from all the partner countries involved in the project. Additionally the representatives of local communities of the participants among whom the results and developed methods and products will be disseminated.Overall: 300 peopleThe results:• further building and reinforcing mutual partnership of the organizations involved,• promoting the idea of partnership through active dissemination stage: project and product promotion• broadening the knowledge on how to work and support the youth• experience sharing• empowering the youth through adapting a expert/partner approach and involving them in the product production stage• activating the youth groups in the countries involved• enabling 29 people the chance to work and collaborate in the international team also in virtual environment• implementing and testing workshop based on “European Entrepreneurship Programme”• designing online and traditional tools to be used during the workshop and further work with the youth• creating an online platform and working environment• promoting and sending the developed workshop programme and tool to minimum 40 organizations working with the youth in the partner countries• sharing the developed programme and tools on the partner websites and other free of charge EU websites, min. 15 websites.Working on European Entrepreneurship Programme will have long term beneficial effects on the work of other youth organizations which could implement the developed method, programme and tools as well as will be vital in every day work of the organizations involved.

This good practice exchange between 7 youth educational centres in residence (REC) from Serbia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, Romania, Lithuania and Germany has been created due to the lack of transnational networking opportunities. While using this long-term project to build tight(er) bonds amongst all partners involved, it also aims at strengthening the vision of what a youth educational centre in residence is and what structures and contents it should provide, also considering a European dimension of youth work. We aim at exchanging good practices linked to the quality of hosting and youth work provided by the residential educational centres participating in the project, at increasing the capacity of educational centres to host youth groups with diverse backgrounds and needs, at developing tools for ensuring quality residential educational centres in Europe, and at building a network of residential centres for good practice exchange. During three in-person partner meetings involving the coordinator of each centre for this project as well as four staff trainings, we want to involve and qualify a minimum of 80 participants in the field of European youth work in residential youth centres. The cooperation for this project is based on a partnership that involves all centres equally (thus, each centre is visited once during the partnership and each centre sends participants to the activities held). We communicate about results and further steps to be taken on a continuous basis, sharing tasks amongst all partners. With this project, we wish to strengthen the working ethics and self-understanding of all centres involved, to help them to increase their knowledge and competences when it comes to working on the European level but in a residential centre, to make our topics more visible to other stakeholders and build a strong partnership that outlasts the timeframe of this project.
