Youth Entrepreneurship Education and Skills

ended

Youth Entrepreneurship Education and Skills (YEeS) is a project designed to empower and develop capacities of young people and youth workers. The EntreComp framework and the non-formal education are the pillars upon which this intervention will build capacities, inspire young people, raise awareness on the benefits and promote Youth Entrepreneurship through local and national stakeholders in the consortium. The concept of this project emerges from the actual need of young people, especially the disadvantaged ones that face many challenges in fields like education, employment or inclusion and eventually hinder them from reaching their full potential. Through this project we will give them practical tools on how to develop competencies at the individual level that can expand their possibilities and bring positive change in their life and the communities they live in. The objective of this project is to promote entrepreneurship as a competence and foster youth entrepreneurship education through the non-formal education methodology. While primary targeting youth, young people with fewer opportunities and youth workers, a high number of stakeholders will be engaged in the project implementation. The intellectual project outputs (research, manual, various visibility products) will guide, facilitate and promote youth entrepreneurship education within the project but also amplify the outcomes of the project in the long term. YEeS will provide an enabling space for youth to enrich their understanding and youth entrepreneurship, to discuss and share experiences with peers from other countries and develop methods tailored to their needs for knowledge acquisition. More than 1000 young people, youth workers and stakeholders from 5 countries will be engaged in this project.
