No country’s economy can be viable without successful businesses. Recognizing this, both the European Union and the Hungarian government consider the development of entrepreneurial skills and abilities, the dissemination of entrepreneurial knowledge, and the promotion of self-employment and entrepreneurship to be of paramount importance. One of the aims of the project is therefore the development of entrepreneurial competencies in a non-formal way. Another goal of the project is to reduce the gender imbalance by developing among women the competencies needed to become a successful entrepreneur.The Modern Lady Talk project objectives are: - To develop youngsters’ autonomy, individual and collective responsibility through entrepreneurship and start-up mind-set - To foster entrepreneurial skills for youngsters in order to make them ready to enter in the labour market - To increasing equal opportunities in the labour market It can be observed that the proportion of women businesses is much higher in developed societies than in Hungary, which is why we choose partners who have this kind of innovative thinking. Our team is made up of young women who are committed to changing social attitudes.Our main target group is women aged 16-30 who are determined enough to start a business and be successful in the future. With our activities we will have a direct impact on 150 young people, and with our indirect activities we will involve 2500 young people.

The main objective of the project was to decrease the school dropout rate in the partner countries with a holistic approach by developing education program for students, online inventory tools for teachers and students and increasing the teachers’ competences related to preventing school dropout and making contribution to the related measure around Europe. Early school leaving or Dropout is used by the EU to describe persons who are between the ages of 12 and 23 and have not completed their education at all or who have only received secondary education (European Commission, 2006). Every sixth young person aged 18 to 24 in EU-27 still leaves school with no more than lower secondary education and participates in no kind of education or training after this point. The children between the ages of 6 and 18 attend school as it is compulsory but some of the students are not interested in their schools. This situation can be described as hidden school dropout. On Council Recommendation of 28 June 2011 on policies to reduce early school leaving Council recommends as a prevention policy to reduce the risk of early school leaving before problems start. To prevent school dropout Council recommends: Enhancing the involvement of parents, reinforcing their cooperation with the school and creating partnerships between schools and parents can increase learning motivation among pupils. Developing early-warning systems for pupils at risk, which can help to take effective measures before problems become manifest, pupils start to alienate from school, play truant or drop out. Supporting and empowering teachers in their work with pupils at risk is a prerequisite for successful measures at school level. Initial teacher education and continuous professional development for teachers and school leaders help them to deal with diversity in the classroom, to support pupils from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and to solve difficult teaching situations. In addition, extra-curricular activities after and outside school, and artistic, cultural and sport activities can raise the self-esteem of pupils at risk and increase their resilience against difficulties in their learning. Second target group were teachers who can be more successful by increasing their competences on school dropout and awareness on it through professional solutions than individual solutions, and they need practical tools to detect the students who are at the risk of hidden or apparent dropout, and they need to know how they can handle the situation of the dropout and what are the innovative methods to prevent it. Third target group were the students who are at the risk of school dropout, who need better quality of learning process and conditions. The factors that influence their drop out should be defined and eliminated and their relation with the school should be improved. Through this project we aimed to develop competence framework on school dropout for teachers, to develop test for defining teachers’ competences related to the school dropout and to transfer the test to online platform, to develop course materials and to develop trainings for teachers, to develop inventories about school dropout tendency among students and to transfer the inventories for school dropout tendency to online platform and to develop education programs for students at the risk of dropout. Eight partners were involved in the project from the Netherlands, Turkey, Slovenia and Turkey, 2 partners per partner country. Except Turkey, all partners are from EU member countries. As above mentioned school dropout or hidden school dropout is an issue to be handled around Europe in order to reach the already defined targets. The project aimed to develop international tools, materials and programs which can be used in any EU countries. This necessitates project to be carried out transnationally.By taking into account all these statistics, project team was really motivated to contribute for overcoming school drop-out problem but the established partneship lasted only ten months. During this ten months we had the opportunity to organize two transnational project meetings. The first one was in Almere, Netherlands and the second one was in Konya, Turkey. During these meetings necessary plannings were made for certain period of time and partners discussed the project activites and required contributions which they would give. As project partners we organized 5 skype skype meetings the minutes of these meetings are attached to the report as separate documents. Moreover, during this period of time we were able to finalize IO1 and finished almost half of the IO2 those documents are attached to the report as attachments.Because of the fact that Coordinating organization had to leave the project, unfortunately we weren't able to complete initially planned project tasks.
