A timetable with all the project activities, intellectual outputs and multiplier events was created; the budget for each activity was also calculated. An internal implementation plan was created and assumed by all the partners during the first project meeting. They defined in a detailed and concrete manner the engagements, a performance protocol agreement in which tasks, payment procedures and responsibilities of each of us with respect to time frame and activities and a comprehensive plan-program was developed and approved by each partner. 5 international project meetings were held and in each of them was analysed the project progress and the quality of work was evaluated and new tasks were assumed and scheduled.The continuous evaluation of the project was ensured by internal and external actions, trough questionnaires.The Intellectual outputs created were tested in each organization and finally they were shared by internet, conferences, seminaries. This outputs are very useful for high schools, youth organizations and adult education providers and we spread them as OER by conferences, fairs, dedicated multiplier events,and by internet.Results and impactBy this project we created completely new learning opportunities and curriculum that combine non-formal educational methods with formal vocational education & training. Each organization added it's experience. The guide that we created is addressing to young entrepreneurs but it is very useful for high-schools and adult education schools where entrepreneurial education is offered to learners. We created also an e-learning platform easy to be accessed by teachers and students with a modular theoretical curriculum very specific and well structured about start-ups, rural and social entrepreneurship. We have also connected with the platform a virtual laboratory based on FACEBOOK business oriented groups that is facilitating international collaboration between students, teachers and stakeholders.The project intellectual outputs are accessible for geographically disadvantaged persons because an e-learning platform is used. Cross-boarding cooperation and communication is facilitated by Business Oriented Facebook Groups.The learning opportunities are free and easy to be accessed.12 new organizations, most of them VET highschools from 6 participating countries were added to our network and they assumed the new IO to be introduced in their curriculum.Longer term benefits:Increased entrepreneurial skills to learners or young entrepreneurs that use our OER.
