"The economic changes, technologies, globalization and society development have a big impact on the labour market. Nowadays the “job for life” does not exist anymore as it was 50 years ago. In turn it influences on the youth unemployment. At this stage entrepreneurship and in particular social entrepreneurship can become an effective way to confront the problem. It is how young people can get needed experience, become responsible and create their own jobs. NGOs can help young people to develop employability skills and involve them into entrepreneurship. At the same time NGOs also can benefit a lot from learning social entrepreneurship as they also face different problems regarding sustainability. But there are not many NGOs which are competent in this topic. The project ""360 Degrees Entrepreneurship"" aims to develop youth workers skills on entrepreneurship and in particular social entrepreneurship, creativity, financial management, strategic planning, employability and entrepreneurial skills in order to overcome the youth unemployment and to make NGOs sustainable. They will have the opportunity to not only learn these skills, but also to implement them in starting up their business, collaborate with other startups and be mentored through the business incubator model. The main objectives of the project are: 1) To develop creative thinking, innovation, employability (soft) skills, financial management, strategic planning and entrepreneurial skills of youth workers. 2) To share knowledge on the establishment and sustainability of business incubators as a sustainable measure of supporting entrepreneurship on a long term basis. 2) To create a training module on how to develop, validate and implement social entrepreneurial projects and enterprises. 3) To work with and train mentors in how they can support young people in developing entrepreneurial paths. 4) To explore practical ways of supporting young people and NGO set up social enterprises, taking into consideration legal, financial, management and social requirements.5) To create new tools and methods designed to develop entrepreneurial skills among young people. 6) To provide young people with a platform where they can exchange experience and expertise in the field of social entrepreneurship. 7) To develop solidarity, promote tolerance and foster mutual understanding between generations and cultures by creating a common platform for development that includes a wide variety of generations and cultures 360 Degrees Entrepreneurship was implemented with 9 partners including Science Park, companies, university, NGOs from Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, Estonia, Italy and Turkey. The final result of the project are established business incubator, fully set up to support new businesses from idea to reality in main campus of university. The project was consist of 3 main parts. 1. Trainings and meetings which focus on discussing and developing the theoretical side of social entrepreneurship. This aimed to allow participants to start their businesses, upgrade their current business or develop their personal capacity rather work a youth trainer or promoted in job market. 2. Implementation of the businesses, setting up the business incubator, implementing training for trainers and creating training modules. We have produced manuals on how to establish a business incubator, a manual dedicated to show different approaches and good practices on entrepreneurship education and learning. 3. Gathering the results of the project, showcasing the different developing businesses, sharing best practices and making the business incubator sustainable. We created different part of visual materials such as website, brochures, notebook, pens, roll - up etc. We as well organized two meetings ( one in Spain and one In Turkey) to share the results and build new partnerships. In long term benefit; project produced educational materials that will allow different actors to use. As well as the business incubator inside university will allow to start and develop new start -ups. Moreover, project had strong partnership and now new collaborations are already planned among partners. Impact on participants of project was also very strong which has long term benefit. Several participants started new business, several of them are now active youth trainers in the field. Last but not least, after all programs one participants was selected to become a pilot in Turkish Airlines thanks to all skills and competencies she developed, gained during the program."

The youth in general is the connection of any society to its future and the most dynamic part of that society as well. According to the last General Population Census the share of children and adolescents in the total population of the Nigde/Turkey region is above country averages. In Nigde the age group 14-25 constitutes a larger share of population (44.0 %) relative to the country average (16.6) makes it necessary to develop special policies and set targets for children and adolescents. Unemployment is one of the basic problems of the region. At present, according to records of TUIK Nevsehir region administration record the rate of unemployment in the region is 6.5 %. This is 12.2 in Europe. Second big problem for youth is early school leaving. However average schooling rate in middle and high school 70,06 % in country it is 64,49 in our region in Turkish Ministry of National Education records. The young population of the region is affected negatively by such factors as limited opportunities of both formal and vocational education and training, high rates of unemployment and absence or insufficient means of social, cultural and leisure time activities. Affecting one in seven young people, early school leaving is one of the greatest educational challenges in Europe, and reducing its levels is a shared objective of EU countries. The prevention of early school leaving (ESL) should be built on a comprehensive approach of the young people, taking into account the family environment, the neighborhood, and his/her life in and out of school. The role of parents his/hers a key element to reduce the rate of ESL. Currently it is a target of European policies to prevent young people from leaving education and training with only a lower secondary education degree or less. Objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy include reducing the rates of early school leaving below 10%.United Europe For Youth (UEFY) is a strategic partnership project for youth which aims to develop a social learning tool for youth workers-institutions to provide mentoring programs for middle and high school youth in Europe to prevent early school leaving and regain the ones who are out of system. The project will form partnerships with local school districts, education counseling authorities, probation services and directorates of youth politics in partner countries. Our project's goal is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills and reassert a sense of hope in future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride accomplishment. Through repeated failures in the classroom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk young people have lost faith in possibilities that await them if they are successful putting their lives together. To accomplish this goal, young people should be in a caring, inclusive learning environment that promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect. United Europe For Youth (UEFY) project will develop a social learning tool (one-on-one mentoring system) and test it for seven months on 324 middle and high school youths and the ones who are out of system from different countries of Europe. Because this age group is particularly problematic and it is a perfect time for mentoring to be effective. Project's mentoring programs will pair a youth with a mentor for 7 months. During that time the two will participate in weekly planned activities to strengthen the relationship between the two and improve the young person's confidence and hopefulness. Mentors (youth workers) will receive continuous training throughout the activity and will participate in monthly meetings to report the young person's progress. During project partners will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource to young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large. At the end of project activities we will publish a social learning methodology book for youth workers and will create and publish a social learning tool software UEFY Software which will be an free and open source for youth workers all around Europe.Basically our project contains two main goals; A-) Setting a strong local and international network between education system - youth support system - youth NGOs and local youth authorities called United Europe for Youth (UEFY). B-) B-1 : Creating, applying, testing and disseminating a one-on-one mentoring system (social learning tool) to regain at risk young people who are close to early school leaving, out of education system already and met with probation system or police. Mentors are supposed to impose behaviors of commitment, responsibility and possibility cognitively to the young people. B-2: Training of youth mentors.
