Europe needs to boost its entrepreneurial culture and stimulate an environment in which small firms can be created, thrive and expand. Europe needs more entrepreneurs, more innovation and more high-growth SMEs. This is why it is necessary to stimulate the entrepreneurial mindsets of young people. It can be made for example by:
- increasing the number of start-ups and boosting their resilience,
- helping small firms innovate and go international,
- promoting the entrepreneurship among young people.
Entrepreneurship is a competence for everyone, helping young people to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake. The main objectives to increasing the youth entrepreneurship, specially from VET background, are following:
- to gather information on existing good practice and provide examples;
- to identify the factors of success and the main obstacles;
- to identify and exchange best practice in promoting entrepreneurship;
- to promote the exchange of experience.
Therefore in our Project we will :
- find and show the good practices in promoting entrepreneurship,
- search and present the biographies successful businessmen / businesswomen who can be a good example for the young entrepreneurs,
- introduce the practical and safe ways of creating business in partner countries,
- involve VET students in preparing the methods, visual/graphic identities and elements (logo, poster, leaflet, ect.) for promoting entrepreneurship among other young people.
The target group of our Project will be the VET teachers, trainers and student.

"According to the data of the Statistical Office of the European Communities, unemployment rate in EU is 17,1 % for persons younger that 25 years, while this rate is 7,0% for persons having 25 years and older. Official reports show that youth unemployment becomes bigger and bigger social problem. It has long-term negative consequences as it occurs at the beginning of a person's working life: not only does the person suffer from a lack of income, but they also miss opportunities for skills development. Youth unemployment often is associated with rising crime and the emergence of an underclass with its own subculture and rules. Europe needs more new firms, more entrepreneurs willing to embark on innovative ventures, and more high-growth SMEs. The Commission has outlined a set of recommendations aimed to enhance the role of education in creating a more entrepreneurial culture in European societies. Starting from an early age, school education should stimulate young people's awareness of entrepreneurship as options for their future, and help them to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake.” (Source: The Oslo Agenda for Entrepreneurship Education in Europe).
This is why it is necessary to stimulate the entrepreneurial mindsets of young people. Entrepreneurship refers to an individual's ability to turn ideas into action. It includes creativity, sense of initiative, innovation and risk-taking, as well as the ability to plan and manage projects in order to achieve objectives. The entrepreneurship competence includes therefore transversal skills and attitudes as well as more specialised knowledge and business skills. In a broad sense, entrepreneurship should be considered as a mindset that supports everyone in day-to-day life at home and in society, and provides a foundation for entrepreneurs establishing a social or commercial activity. Entrepreneurship is a key competence for lifelong learning, as defined in the 2006 European Framework for Key Competences.
Education for entrepreneurship is already high on the agenda in most EU Member States. A wide variety of programmes and activities exist across Europe. However, there is a need of promoting these initiatives more systematically. The European Commission is committed to promoting education for entrepreneurship at all levels, from primary school to university and beyond. The Recommendation of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 December 2006 on Key Competences for Lifelong Learning identifies the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship’ as one of eight key competencies to be instilled at all stages of education and training.
“Entrepreneurship is a competence for everyone, helping young people to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake.“ (Source: BEST PROCEDURE PROJECT: “ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING”, FINAL REPORT OF THE EXPERT GROUP, Final version, November 2009, Author: EUROPEAN COMMISSION, ENTERPRISE AND INDUSTRY DIRECTORATE-GENERAL).
Entrepreneurship is included in the national curricula for vocational education in a majority of European countries, at least to some extent. In some of those countries (such as in Estonia, Spain and Poland) participation is compulsory, but in most cases entrepreneurship is an optional subject or is compulsory only in some parts of the vocational education system and not in others. But in most cases a perception that the situation is not yet satisfactory, and that there is still a gap to be filled.
This gap should be filled for example by:
- giving the examples of possible approaches and methods that can be used in disseminating entrepreneurship within vocational education;
- supporting the exchange of good practices in promoting entrepreneurship;
- presenting entrepreneurship in a practical way;
- publishing and dissemination the case studies and good practices.
Therefore, this is the aim of our Project.
