Capacity Building in the field of YOUTH
Social entrepreneurship has been acknowledged as an effective means to the end of creating new jobs, improving the standard of living and encouraging the citizens’ participation in the decision making process at all levels. In order to enhance the social entrepreneurship in our countries, it would be absolutely necessary to supply the young people who dream of becoming social entrepreneurs with appropriate competences, contacts and the will to launch social entrepreneurs commensurate to their own profile & the needs of their milieu. In this context, we are organizing a long-term project to favor the experiences’ exchange and develop the competences of 24 youth workers and instructor designers who stem from 8 countries and 4 continents, so that they can come up with innovative educational methods about the social entrepreneurship and act as multipliers who will help this type of entrepreneurship to spread among the young people in their countries and elsewhere.
Our project consists of the following activities:
1) A 2-day transnational project meeting at Lefkas (Greece)
2) A “job shadowing mobility” which will last 15 days and allow every one of the 16 youth workers including two deaf to observe the implementation of one social entrepreneurship and the related education.3) Preparation of a research work which will detect the needs of the youth of the various partners in terms of training and support opportunities about the social entrepreneurship.
4) A training course of 11 days in Poland, during which we will create a virtual club for young people who are would-be social entrepreneurs
5) An experimentation of the above mentioned virtual club by the young people of the countries.
6) Creating a technical and pedagogical manual for exploiting the above club.
7) A training course of 7 days in Vietnam in order to educate the 24 direct beneficiaries into becoming E-mentors in favour of the young people who benefit from the above mentioned club.
8) Organization of a “carrier-day” by each partner organization, which will disseminate the results of the project in question and make the virtual club more widely known.
9) Implementation and updating of the club through the involvement of the 24 E-mentors & the administrator of the club.
10) A 2-day evaluation meeting will be held at Benin, where a cooperation strategy will be applied for the sake of the virtual club’s sustainability.
