<< Objectives >>Our main objective is to make the ESC program more accessible for young refugees. For this we want to implement a trans European network to foster intra-European youth mobilities as well as Regional Mobility Hubs to ensure an effective network for the ESC. Besides we want to offer support for local organisations for the reception of refugees as volunteers. In the course of this we want to train „mobility mentors“ to support refugees in attending ESC.<< Implementation >>We are going to implement five main activities. These are general project management in the first place and capacity building of our three organisations in the second place. Furthermore we want to create Regional Mobility Hubs in Bremen, Grenoble, Avila and surroundings. We also want to develop and implement a hybrid training cycle with digital and physical activities for mobility mentors. Our last activity is the implementation of the actual ESC voluntary services in France, Spain and Germany.<< Results >>3 RMH’s Europe-wide to make the participation of young refugees in cross-border voluntary services will be launched with 12 member organisations each. For the guidance of the young refugees all together 21 mobility mentors will be trained. All that makes possible the implementation of 9 ESC projects with 18 volunteers in total, out of which 12 will be with refugee background. Thanks to various local activities Europe gets tangible for the local population, too.

TITLE: Impact on Youth (IOY)TYPOLOGY: Strategic partnership for the exchange of Good practices and InnovationDURATION: 24 monthsPARTNERS:4 partner organisations (Spain, Ireland, Poland and Portugal)TARGET GROUPS / BENEFICIARIES:· Educators in the field of formal and non-formal education (youth workers, counselors, teachers, social workers, trainers, etc.)· Young people between 15 and 20 years old from different educational groups (high school students, VET, university students, members of youth organizations and NEET youth.· Organizations of the youth sector, public and private educational centers, insertion entities, and everything interested in promoting entrepreneurship among young people.OBJECTIVE:The project aims to give answer to the need for innovative approaches for the development and recognition of entrepreneurial skills. MAIN ACTIVITIES:A. [INTELLECTUAL PRODUCTS]O1 - IMPACT entrepreneurial skills measurement tool (www.impact-test.eu).The IMPACT tool, based on the European EntreComp skills framework, will be set by 15 individual tests to measure entrepreneurial skills. The IMPACT toll will make it possible to measure separately the level of acquisition of each of the entrepreneurial skills in the indicated above framework. Both, the users and the educators will be able to obtain realistic knowledge about their competences and monitor their progress. The IMPACT competency measurement Tool was originally created within the framework of the eponymous project (which inspired this proposal). Currently, the tool incorporates measurement tests of three of the fifteen entrepreneurship competencies collected in EntreComp. Through this proposal, the aim is to conclude the work begun previously incorporating the remaining twelve competences.Breakdown of skills:Area: Ideas and opportunities1. Creativity2. Sustainable and ethical thinking,3. Vision4. Valuing ideasArea: In action5. Management and planning6. Teamwork,7. Work as a team8. Learn from experienceArea: Resources9. Self awareness and effectiveness10. Financial and economic knowledge11. Know how to mobilize others12. Know how to mobilize resourcesThe project already starts with the basis of having developed the following tests:1) Motivation and perseverance (Area: Resources),2) Initiative (Area: In Action)3) Recognize opportunities (Area: Ideas and opportunities)The innovative nature of the IMPACT Tool with respect to the existing ones is the approach based on the EntreComp document. It enables analysis of each competence individually, instead of valuing the capacity for entrepreneurship as a whole (without breaking down by competence), as the existing tools do. This approach allows a greater versatility for educators, since they can identify the specific learning needs of their learners and intervene on them.IMPACTThe project aims to ensure an impact throughout the life of the project that is sustainable upon completion. Our primary audience are educators (youth workers, teachers, and social workers) such as non-formal education organizations and formal education centers.[AT LOCAL / REGIONAL LEVEL] Among others we hope to achieve the following impact:- Improvement of entrepreneurial skills and, therefore, of employability of young people who have participated in educational activities for the development of entrepreneurial skills during the piloting of the IMPACT tool in the different communities. After the completion of the project, this impact will continue as the member entities of the Consortium and other entities at the local / regional level have committed to a further dissemination of the tool and its incorporation into the didactic tools they already are using. [AT NATIONAL / EUROPEAN LEVEL]:- Improvement of the procedures for the measurement of entrepreneurial skills thanks to the availability of the IMPACT Tool for measuring entrepreneurial skills, available in English and in the other official languages ​​of the consortium, which can be used directly by any entity working in the scope of development of skills for entrepreneurship.DISSEMINATION OF RESULTSA Plan for the dissemination and exploitation of results has been planned to give visibility to the intellectual products developed, as well as a Sustainability Plan to guarantees an impact once the project has concluded. All tangible results of the project will be licensed under Creative Commons, Attribution, Non-Commercial Share Alike.

"Este proyecto ha surgido a partir de la crisis económica reciente que golpeado especialmente a Europa, como resultado el despempleo, especialmente entre los jóvenes. La educación pública no se adapta con suficiente rapidez a los cambios socio- económicos de nuestra sociedad y como consecuencia no provee a los jóvenes con herramientas y competencias necesarias para afrontar la nueva realidad con una actitud pro-activa. La mayoría de los jóvenes es más propensa para buscar un trabajo a cuenta ajena que crear su propio puesto de trabajo. Suponemos que una parte de ellos lo hace por falta de autoestima, capacidad de iniciativa personal pero también el conocimientos prácticos y herramientas que les sirvan de ayuda para crear ideas propias y considerar el emprendimiento como posibiliad de empleo.En el proyecto han participado los siguientes socios:- Asociación Jóvenes Solidarios, España- Patronus, Eslovakia- London Borough of Hackney, Reino Unido- Hacetteppe Univercity, TurquíaLos objetivos del proyecto ""If not you, then who?Teaching Entrepreneurship"" han sido los siguientes:1. Luchar contra la pasividad y falta de iniciativa de los jóvenes en su etapa escolar (enseñanza secundaria y formación profesional);2. Investigar las metodologías existentes sobre la enseñanza del emprendimiento y creación de una nueva metodología con el fin de ayudar a trabajadores juveniles y profesores, enseñar los conocimeitnos y las habilidades que se consideran necesarias para los futuros emprendedores, con el enfásis en emprendedores concientes del bien común y su valor añadido para el desarrollo.3. Aumentar la calidad del sector de la juventud como promotor de la enseñanza de desarrollo de iniicativa juvenil y del emprendimiento hacía la población joven, a través de la creación de un manual con sesiones didácticas.4. Complementar la educación formal con la metodología de la educación no formal.El proyecto se ha dirigido a los tres grupos meta:1. Jóvenes entre 13 y 30 años, miembros de organizaciones no gubernamentales y centros de enseñanza.2. Organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro interesadas en promover el emprendimiento entre los jóvenes;3. Centros de educación formal, secundaria, bachiller y formación profesional. Durante el aproyecto se han realizado las siguientes actividades:- Tres encuentros de trabajo de caracter presencial para los socios implicados;- Se han desarrollado las primeras 22 sesiones didácticas (11 por cada nivel) para niveles: Start up y Ready to Go;- Implementación de las sesiones desarrolladas para probar su evaluación dentro de grupos juvenilés y la educación formal (formación profesional básica y grado medio e universidad);- Evaluación de las sesiones diseñadas y su adaptación;- Creación del manual con la nueva metodología basada en los valores de la Economía del Bien Común, con sus sesiones didácticas (20 en total) y materiales correspondientes, basada en nuestra experiencia e investigación;- Creación de la versión online del manual;- Realización de cuatro eventos multiplicadores, uno por país, en Reino Unido, Turquía, Eslovaquia y España.Resultados:Manual pedagógico con sesiones didácticas sobre el emprendimiento basado en valores de la Economía del Bien Común :a) Start up - módulo de introducción al emprendimiento, pensado en jóvenes, alumnos de enseñanza secundaria entre 14 y 18 años o jóvenes adultos con ninguna o escasa formación en el tema;b) Ready to go - modulo de apoyo a los jóvenes con formación previa en el emprendimiento o jóvenes con ideas claras de emprendimiento (Formación profesional y formación superior);A través de este manual y sus herramientas didácticas esperamos haber contribuido al fomento del espíritu emprendedor entre los jóvenes y mayor entendimiento del tema. Vemos el emprendimiento como una de las salidas laborales para algunos jóvenes, que puedan crear su propia oportunidad de futuro. Impacto:El proyecto ha tenido un impacto especialmente en: 1. las organizaciones socias involucradas en el proyecto, 2. los jóvenes participantes en las sesiones impartidas,3. trabajadores juveniles, formadores y profesores interesados en la implementación de la metodología.El equipo de nuestras organizaciones ha ganado en experiencia y conocimiento acerca del tema y su implementación en práctica. Gracias a esta nueva metodología, atodos se nos han abierto nuevos puntos de vista y posibilidades dentro de los servicios que ofrecemos a nuestros usuarios con el fin de fomentar la iniciativa juvenil y el espíritu emprendedor. Los jóvenes que han participado en la implementación de las sesiones han adquirido nuevos conocimientos y habiliades, cuales les ayudarán a enfocar su futuro con mayor precisión y sobre todo incrementará su empleablidad. Esperamos que por lo menos han considerado la idea de emprender basado en sus intereses y competencias.Con todo ello esperamos haber contribuido a la calidad de la educación formal y no formal en el tema del emprendimiento"

The project aims to empower young women with entrepreneurial competences which favor their personal and professional growth, enhancing their possibility to contribute to the development of the society.The objectives of the project are in line with the objectives individuated by the Erasmus+ Programme Guide for the capacity building project in the field of youth and in particular: o foster cooperation and exchanges in the field of youth between Italy, Spain, Portugal and Senegal, four countries that even if have different experiences, have found a common need: supporting young women to acquire entrepreneurial competences.o foster the development, testing and launching of programmes of non-formal learning mobility. partners will create and test an educational programme supporting young women to acquire competences and skills to start their own initiatives within organizations they cooperate with or by themselves. The test of the programme through different steps based on the active involvement of the participants, will allow for finalizing it and to share the results online with potential stakeholders. To favor this process, partners have identified a path to create and test an educational programme based on NFE methodology, that foresees 3 main phases.In general the path is composed of:1) Preparation phase, including: a Kick off meeting and online meetings2) Implementation and follow up phase during which there will be: -First phase training course -Online training course -Job shadowing -Local activities -Evaluation meeting3) A closing phase with a final event

<< Background >>Project “Social Entrepreneurship for the Future of Youth Work” is designed a direct answer to problem of insufficient presence of social entrepreneurship education in youth work. Our main objective is to develop a set of hybrid (combining traditional non-formal learning attitudes with online materials) training modules, promoting social entrepreneurship, sense of initiative, innovations, and idea of fair and sustainable development. The idea of the project is rooted in another strategic partnership project, “The added value of Social Entrepreneurship in Youth Work”, which concentrated on exchange of good practices and exploring possibilities of social entrepreneurship in youth work. TDM2000, one of this project partners, was also a partner of the project which ended in February 2021 and brings experience and competences derived from its activities into new partnership. Based on the previous exchange of good practices new partnership emerged, oriented on innovation and creation an answer to discovered needs to unleash the full potential of combining non-formal learning with social entrepreneurship.The main need, addressed by partnership and planned project activities and outcomes, is to create innovative methods of youth work, promoting social entrepreneurship as an attractive career choice, way to foster social cohesion, support green economy, and fight problems of young people at the labour market. In the centre of our conceptual work we had needs of our target groups:- As the project activities are targeted at other youth workers, NGOs, and other institutions, they form the group of our direct beneficiaries. Their needs were analysed through organised focus groups and direct meeting of project partners, especially those who operate as umbrella organisations (especially KOMS, TDM2000 and Umbrella). We have recognised that one of the main reasons of ineffective activities promoting social entrepreneurship is lack of educational methodology which would be relevant for youth, engaging, interesting and based on real life examples. Through project activities they will be provided with easy to use, innovative, scalable, and universal methods of youth work. All project outputs will be free and easily accessible, project partners, through dissemination activities and operation of support HUBS, will provide also needed support to actively use project’s outputs. - The indirect beneficiaries of the project will be young people, participants of future activities implemented using methods and materials which will be created as a result of the project. While drafting this application, based on partners’ experience and research, we have decided, that secondary target group will be young people, aged 16 – 25, in their secondary education or university students, standing at the verge of the beginning of their professional careers. As decisions taken at this stage have serious consequences, we want to help them to understand concept of social economy, get basic entrepreneurial skills (transversal also to other areas) and address problems of modern labour market they face (e.g. irrelevant jobs, low wages, jobs below their qualifications, basic jobs without prospects of further development, youth unemployment, etc.). Through methods based very diverse real life examples of social enterprises (from traditional crafts and agriculture to programming and high technologies) they have a chance to revise their perception of social entrepreneurship and make informed career choices.<< Objectives >>To address analysed problems partners have come up with a project idea with the following objectives:- to create an international group of experts and practitioners working together to create relevant and attractive methods of promotion of social entrepreneurship,- to provide effective and sustainable platform of support for education, cooperation and inspiration related to topics of entrepreneurship an social economy,- to strengthen international and intersectoral cooperation (business actors, NGOs, educators, schools, authorities), - to bring innovations of combining ICT and traditional non-formal learning to create attractive, universal, scalable, open resources of youth work,- to promote social entrepreneurship on real examples of successful enterprises, bringing additional value of strengthening their social impact. Intellectual output of the project will be a set of 24 innovative modules promoting social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial thinking and sustainable development. Each module will be a complete, standalone workshop material, including scenario and materials for facilitator, videos, presenting innovative, attractive and inspiring examples of successful social enterprises (presentation of the business and interview with the creator), and other materials needed to conduct a 3-4 workshop using non-formal education methodology. As a result of the project we expect to raise awareness about social entrepreneurship among young people in Europe, provide youth workers and institutions with innovative, universal and attractive methodology, and to promote social entrepreneurship as an important factor for sustainable development. Thanks to widely planned dissemination activities those results will be observed in our local communities, regions, countries, and in Europe.<< Implementation >>The main result of the problem is creation of innovative methodology of non-formal education about social entrepreneurship and bringing it to agendas of youth workers on European level. Keeping this result in mind we have come up with the following phases of the project:- initiation, preparation, exploration, exchange and inspiration – this phase of the project will build a solid foundation for reaching objectives by bringing deeper understanding of the topic by experience, understanding different contexts and realities of work of social enterprises. In this phase we will have 3 study visits (and two virtual study visits), create project webpage and build foundation for partnership (also with associated partners). - production – the main phase, resulting in intellectual outputs – set of innovative training modules and supporting those video materials. In this phase partners will work independently together with their local partners to create a series of videos, which, after being edited, will form a foundation to new training modules. All those materials will be uploaded to YouTube channel of the project. Based on those partners, working in tandems to ensure universal character of created workshops, supported by project manager, will create training modules, which in combination with video materials, will form the main intellectual outputs of the project. Production phase will include also edition of created materials, proof reading (they will be created in English language version) and publication. - dissemination phase. The most important phase to achieve planned of project on regional, national, and European scales. Will promote created training tools, along with the idea of social entrepreneurship, non-formal education, and the Erasmus+ programme. This phase will begin with on site and online trainings for staff, who will be responsible for further dissemination activities. After that there will be a series of activities implemented independently by project partners (local trainings for total of at least 240 multipliers, information online events, meetings, conferences, etc.) and a central closing conference, which will be an online transmitted event, summarising project and discussing perspectives of social entrepreneurship education in youth work. Additionally partners will create and operate Support Hubs, ensuring project sustainability and building potential for future cooperation with relevant stakeholders throughout the whole dissemination phase. Those phases will be supplemented by activities related to management, monitoring, and evaluation. They will consist of 3 Transnational Project Meetings – Kick-off, Mid-term monitoring, and Closing meeting), constant project monitoring (with monitoring committee meetings every month), evaluation of All those phases will be supported by constant activities related to management, monitoring, and evaluation activities, which will ensure smooth and professional project implementation.<< Results >>The main intellectual output of the project will becreation of a set of 24 innovative modules promoting social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial thinking and sustainable development. Each module will be a complete, standalone workshop material, including scenario and materials for facilitator, videos, presenting innovative, attractive and inspiring examples of successful social enterprises (presentation of the business and interview with the creator), and other materials needed to conduct a 3-4 workshop using non-formal education methodology. Besides this hard result the project is expected to have also following results, in long term improving situation of young people in Europe:- creation of an international group of experts and practitioners working together to create relevant and attractive methods of promotion of social entrepreneurship,- to provide effective and sustainable platform of support for education, cooperation and inspiration related to topics of entrepreneurship an social economy,- to strengthen international and intersectoral cooperation (business actors, NGOs, educators, schools, authorities), - to bring innovations of combining ICT and traditional non-formal learning to create attractive, universal, scalable, open resources of youth work,- to promote social entrepreneurship on real examples of successful enterprises, bringing additional value of strengthening their social impact.
