"<< Background >>The main ground for the development of a modern territorial community is the availability of active, initiative, and highly competent members. It is highly professional specialists who create added value in territorial communities and significantly contribute to the revenue of local budgets. For sustainable growth, it is necessary to create and develop a mini ecosystems of entrepreneurship in territorial communities. This will provide opportunities to support self-employment and entrepreneurship of the local population permanently.Strengthening the capacity of local communities through improving the adult education system should be a priority for both the EU and other European countries, since it creates more stability and facilitates the exchange of best practices.The lack of a comprehensive approach to the development of local communities, a particularly important component of which is the creation of opportunities for self-employment and development of entrepreneurial skills among the local population, is a serious problem in regions.This problem is common to all member countries that have formed the consortium to join efforts and let their countries, and the EU as a whole, reduce the burden of the problem.The consortium is formed by 5 countries, and the goal set is to find and share best practices in the sphere of adult education, in particular in the fostering of self-employment and entrepreneurial skills, as well as developing digital literacy of the local communities’ population. For this purpose, the project has chosen two categories of community members as target groups - people who have always been considered the most sensitive and vulnerable groups of territorial community, especially among rural population: youth (people aged 18-35) and people of “silver age” 50+.Thus, the main focus of the project will be helping these target groups to gain new, practice-based knowledge of how to develop their self-employment skills, facilitate sound entrepreneurial environment, and cultivate their eco-conscious vision of the home region’s development.Best business practices will not only show advanced models to follow for the target audience, but also enrich the experience of the partners and establish close entrepreneurial cooperation at the regional level in their countries.The project will be carried out in consortium with international partners from Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Greece, and Ukraine.<< Objectives >>The project aims to develop functional system of comprehensive training for the those who desire to become self-employed citizens and entrepreneurs, as well as have knowledge in specialties of territorial development and entrepreneurship in their regions.The main emphasis in the project will be paid to the development of practical skills, studying business practices successfully functioning in the participating countries, as well as forming the mind-set and spirit of environmental awareness in entrepreneurship.Using distance formats in teaching process the project will simultaneously develop digital literacy among territorial communities’ (especially rural) population, which is also topical for all participating countries. This format will also allow to set communication links among the target audience allowing to enhance their future international cooperation.All project results in each country will create a unified mini eco-systems for the growth of self-emploment level, as well as entreprenership activity. Accordingly, this will help to reduce both the financial and social burden on local communities as usually young people and people 50+ are the groups of their special attention and care. Since the member countries of the consortium, except Ukraine, are members of the EU, such results are important and will have a positive impact not only on the development of individual regions or countries, but also the EU in whole.<< Implementation >>To achieve the results set we are planning to:- study the territorial development needs of the following groups: micro-entrepreneurs, experts of economic and regulatory departments of local self-governments, and local public activists. With this purpose each party of the project will make a research survey and its analysis (involving SWOT-analysis, relevance trees, morphologic analysis etc.)- develop a complex training course ""Business education for entrepreneurs” (PR1) on self-employability and entrepreneurship with the knowledge of business specialties of their territorial community. The training course will be created on the basis of the survey analysis obtained in cooperation with entrepreneurs of a region, experts from economic and regulatory departments of local self-governments, and local public activists. Involvement of the best practices in eco-aware businesses and active promotion of European Green Deal principles in the training courses will enhance the ecological component of the project, while participation of these three groups of residents of a local community in the survey will help them form a unified eco-conscious, innovative vision of the development of local economic and social spheres.- select pilot groups from the community residents: rural youth (80%) and people “silver age” 50+ (20%).- conduct real-time online trainings for the pilot groups, help them obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to increase their level of self-employability and competitiveness, which, in its turn, will enhance the development of their territorial community which is the most desirable result of the project.- develop MOOC “Entrepreneurship for all” (PR2) which will be based on the materials and integrated as an element of blended learning into the overall training course of the project allowing to strengthen and facilitate the quality of learning outcomes of the pilot groups.- develop a specialized online platform called ""International Training and Consulting Centre"" functioning as a service center for the support of mini-ecosystems during and in post-project period. –set a package of documents and recommendations (placed on the online platform) on the establishment of a project office with certified project managers who will facilitate the inflow of investments and grant funds for business development in the region. - develop joint forum for active participant`s communication which can enhance international communication for future joint collaboration and strengthen international links.All materials will be open to all groups of residents in the local communities involved into the project as well as to any EU citizen interested in the issue. All of them will also be available in the languages of the consortium member countries as well as in English, and accessable long after the MEcoS RNet finishes, creating a long-term effect of the project.<< Results >>PR1- Course ""Business education for enterpreneurs"" will define and develop professional competencies for entrepreneurs of territorial communities in accordance with the regional specifics. Speciall attention will be given to fostering eco-awareness among these entrepreneurs and self-employed members of territorial communities. the course through available interactive formats, will allow to form professional competencies in self-employment and entrepreneurship and simultaneously develop digital skills among the pilot group participants.PR 2 - Massive Open On-line Course “Entrepreneurship for all” developed on a distance learning platform will facilitate the availability of business education for residents of local communities (who will be able to study remotely (saving time, costs for travel, accommodation, meals)), as well as their digital literacy. It will be integrated as an element of blended learning into the overall training course of the project and will allow to strengthen and facilitate the quality of learning outcomes of the pilot groups.PR 3 - Specialized educational online platform ""International Training and Consulting Centre"" will be functioning as a service center for support of mini-ecosystems during and in post-project period, providing permanent remote consulting on current issues of entrepreneurship as it will give broad information on the urgent issues for the entrepreneurs in a region.All activities within the project are aimed to create a so-called integrated mini eco-system for the development of self-employability, eco-conscious entrepreneurship in the local community, which will:• Serve the needs of education, vocational guidance and training for the development and current activities of self-employed citizens, entrepreneurs -representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.• Promote the development of self-employability, entrepreneurship in the territorial community, as well as the facilitating of the participant`s unified eco-conscious vision on socio-economic development of their own territory.•teach target groups to use a project approach, involve different financial leverages for the needs of their micro-businesses. • teach and assist in attracting funds and other resources for entrepreneurs through crowdfunding, fundraising, franchising, crowdsourcing tools (project offices), etc."
