"The project ""Become Busy - B.B."" is an innovative idea of empowering young people's entrepreneurship by combining New Information Technologies with business education. Business education for young people in many European countries has been integrated into the education system already in high school. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all countries, such as in Greece, a fact that does not allow young people to fully develop their potential in this area. Furthermore, in order to increase employment rates, Europe needs more entrepreneurs, but to create new generations of them it is required to “…enable new business opportunities offered by the digital technologies'. Entrepreneurial Education enhances job prospects, but its status in the eyes of young people needs to be improved as only 27% of young people aged 15-24 say they would recommend it to their friends. ""Become Busy"" has as its main objective the development of an entrepreneurial spirit to young people through the creation of an e-learning tool, a Business Simulation Platform. The BB platform allows young people, in a digital environment, to set up a business idea and manage its development. In the process of digital management, the user faces problems, obstacles and other business risks, which allow him/her to deepen the aspects of entrepreneurship. The innovation of the Project is based on the idea of familiarizing young people with business issues and conditions by offering them a virtual experience, encouraging their entrepreneurial spirit and boosting their entrepreneurial learning in a pleasant way. To achieve the goal of the project, a dynamic partnership was formed with organizations from countries with a high youth unemployment rate (Spain, Italy and Greece). The Institute of Social Innovation and Cohesion and the Pan-Hellenic Association of Electronic Applications of Information Technology and New Technologies from Greece, YouNet from Italy and Método Estudios Consultores from Spain, participate in the project. The target group is youth (18-28 years old) coming from partner countries who are interested in entrepreneurship and / or have a business idea. The methodology and logic of the project is based on non-formal learning methods, while the activities envisaged are: 1. Carry out research on entrepreneurship / youth views and the production of Educational Material for the BB platform. 2. Creation of an Electronic Business Simulation Platform (based on the exploitation of the results of the above surveys) 3. Pilot Implementation of the Electronic Business Simulation Platform in Greece to young people and improvement of the platform according to the feedback from the pilot seminar, and translating into corresponding partner languages 4. Implementation of Transnational Training Seminars and Official Operation of the Business Simulator, 5. Dissemination activities for the products and results of the project. The ""Become Busy"" Project envisages: • that the participating organizations will develop their structures and competencies by offering quality entrepreneurship empowerment training programmes to young people and will also further expand their partner network, • to create a structured, attractive, online tool for developing young entrepreneurship, • that young participants to deepen into the concept of entrepreneurship, to familiarize with its conditions, to develop their skills, to understand the differences between the different business models of the participating countries and the European Business environment"
