"<< Objectives >>In our project 3 countries (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia) are working together on the online material (intellectual output) ""Collection of Digital Applications and Guide to Using the Digital Applications"". With effective dissemination we will spread this knowledge as widely as possible, because everyone needs basic digital skills to live their lives, whether to learn, to communicate and to participate in society.<< Implementation >>In the implementation of the project, our 3 countries work together on the collection of information / knowledge on digitalization incl. software and good practices according to jointly agreed principles. A guide will be prepared for the collection so that it can be easily used in learning. The intellectual outcome will be presented by the partners at the multiplying event for the target groups, in particular the women and families, and it will also be spread using websites and social media.<< Results >>With the results of the project, we would expect to achieve that women and families gain more confidence in their personal use of digitalization. The Collection of Digital Applications and Guide should be widely used among the partner organizations, on national level and between countries, which includes the mutual exchange, further development and progressive learning across the three countries.The environmental footprint of the Project is small because most activities are done online."

Contemporary society is characterised by two phenomena. The first concerns young NEETs, an acronym for Not in Employment, Education, or Training: in brief, unemployed and inactive young people, aged between 15 and 24 years (Eurofound, 2016) not enrolled in any formal or non-formal education and training. Although the definition of NEETs can vary in relation to many factors, all definitions of NEETs concur in identifying a heterogenic category particularly at risk for social exclusion from mainstream adult life. A possible means for containing the overflow of the NEETs in Europe has been identified in triggering “entrepreneurship” attitude among young people. In this perspective, entrepreneurship in meant not only as merely starting a business, but rather a multifaceted concept entailing the acquisition of different competences. The latter are defined by the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan as “practical entrepreneurial experiences” that “can also be gained outside education”. The second phenomenon is represented by the increasing population ageing: by 2025, in fact, more than 20% of Europeans will be 65 or over, with a particularly rapid increase in the number of over 80s. Older people represent a great resource in terms of knowledge and expertise and they can contribute to increase the social capital of the living community and of the entire society. If entrepreneurship can help contrasting the phenomenon of NEETs, the “Active Ageing” approach can do the same for the population ageing. “Be The Change” attempted to connect in a unique conceptual framework the two concepts of “entrepreneurship” of young people and “Active Ageing” applied to older entrepreneurs through the Intergenerational Learning, for keeping jointly instances, needs, personal values and potentials of both NEETs and older people. “Be The Change” aimed at 1) developing a methodology capable to promote entrepreneurship competences and skills, through intergenerational learning, based on non-formal and informal education approach, with the goal to trigger entrepreneurial attitude among NEET by the sharing of knowledge with elderly people. 2) testing the efficacy of the developed methodology by the implementation of courses for older entrepreneurs and NEETs and the learning outcomes assessment. 3) providing guidelines and recommendations on how to valorize, evaluate and recognize the acquired skills through non-formal and informal path.Participating organizations were: P1-INRCA IRCCS, Centre for socio-economic research on ageing (Italy), that was the project coordinator. INRCA is a national public organisation in charge of providing health care to older people and carrying out research on elder care and ageing related issues. P2-Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Italy) has a national and international outstanding reputation for academic excellence in both teaching and research. P3-Magyar Noi Karrierfejlesztesi Szovetseg - MNKSZ (Association for Women's Career Development). MNKSZ identified the need for a non-governmental organization to help promote women’s equality by working with and fostering the cooperation between organizations dealing with women’s issues. P4-The Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) Berlin Spree-Wuhle is a local social welfare organisation in Berlin with a a general affiliation with the national and state bodies of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO). The AWO Spree-Wuhle provides a wide range of social services ranging from day-care, youth-work, services for the disabled, services for the older people, counseling and integration services for immigrants. P5- UPI - ljudska univerza Žalec (UPI Žalec) is a public, non-profit institution for education and training of adults in the Savinja Valley region. It offers a diverse range of formal and non-formal education programs. P6- The University of Malta. The research in Education conducted by the Faculty of Education is extensive and it has shown its commitment towards Inclusive Education since the early 90’s. In order to achieve its main result, the project produced the activities listed below:IO1: Analysis of the framework; Report of the results of the framework analysis; Conceptualisation of the training plan; Development of the contents for the trainining.IO2: Development of the e-learning platform; Implementation of the training for older entrepreneurs; Implementation of the training for NEETs.IO3: Development of the methodology for monitoring the learning outcomes; Monitoring the learning outcomes of older entrepreneurs and NEETs (two waves evaluation). Production of the Guidelines and Handbook. Thanks to the project, entrepreneurs acquired mentoring competences and non-formal learning practices (e.g. active listening, empathy, motivating, etc) and improved capabilities of capitalization of their know, self-esteem and sense of helpfulness through social engagement in mentoring young people. NEETs acquired entrepreneurship competences (e.g. reading the complexity of reality etc.).
