Teaming UP

Closed

Cross-border relationships, the ability to communicate and negotiate ideas and make deals with people from other countries and cultures are extremely important for export ability and entering new markets of any companies; globalisation and internationalisation of companies (including student companies) in the Central Baltic region are an issue that needs to be addressed and promoted in order to raise the number of new exportable products and competitive businesses both now and in future. The “Teaming UP” project addresses the opportunity of boosting the confidence and business skills of the young generation who are interested in business and who possess entrepreneurial skills and business thinking. The project will foster the global approach to thinking and support pupils in developing international business teams and ideas. The cross-border cooperation is of crucial essence to the success of the project. Project activities, outputs and results are based on the creation, development and implementation of international business teams and business projects. Teams will bring together young people from different countries, each offering their own unique, personal and professional contributions to the business team. Cross-border cooperation is the salt of the project, without which the goals and ideas put forward by the project partners to boost the confidence and business skills of the young people are unthinkable. The specific objectives of the project in a nutshell are to motivate pupils and boost their confidence of thinking globally, strengthen and support teachers - youth entrepreneurship professionals and share the “teaming UP” programme throughout the Central Baltic region. Total budget of the project is 518266,29 EUR. The implementation period is 2 years or 24 months. Project partner are Valmiera Development Agency, Valga County Vocational Training Centre, Mercuria Business College and Valmiera Vocational Training Centre.
