    "Project ""ENTER (to) entrepreneurship"" was carried out in the framework of Erasmus +. The project involved raising the professional skills of entrepreneurship and developing solutions to bridge the education gap in this field in several systems of formal education. It provided an answer to the problems stemming from changes in the European the labor market and lack of preparation of young people and workers to new situations. The growing role of entrepreneurship in Europe generates the need to acquire new skills and knowledge. The aim of the project was to improve the entrepreneurial skills and business and stimulate creative thinking through the use of cycle training business. Laboratories has helped participants to be open to new ideas and use them professional and private life. It led to a rethink of how self-employment and starting their own business-through the development and equip participants with basic knowledge and skills to build an effective system of modern enterprise. An innovative approach to project activities allowed for a combination of psychological factors and social, as well as hard skills.The project has involved three organizations. Boston College from the UK mid-largest college of general education located in downtown Boston in Lincolnshire. College plays an important role in the life of the city and makes a significant contribution to the local economy. It offers more than 400 courses, has more than 6,000 students over the age of 14 years and employs more than 450 employees. College works in close cooperation with local companies as advisory body on new solutions. The project partner from Germany was the Institute for Work and Technology (IАТ) –research organization, created in the late 80's with about 50 employed individuals (scientists, project managers and financial staff, students-assistants). IAT is a part of the University of Westphalia (university of applied sciences). The university offers mainly studies in mathematics and science and technology, as well as courses in economics, law and journalism. IAT works are targeted for a specific purpose - promoting prosperity and quality of life. Project leader and representative is the Polish city Radomsko - local public institution managed by the Mayor and City Council. The Office supervises the functioning of the city through the implementation of local laws and concern for the needs of its residents. Radomsko is a city aimed toward modernity, which emphasizes its slogan 'Open city from 1266'. Radomsko City Hall is open to strengthen the capacity of the city's development through the expansion of knowledge and skills. This contributes to the realization of new ideas and projects that benefit both the city and inhabitants. During the project in each of the partners conducted cycles laboratories under 4 modules: Motivation, Shaping the attitudes of pro-enterprising, entrepreneurial skills, business skills. Also conducted meetings mentoring summarizing training and allowing for live meeting with practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship. The results of the meetings were used to develop our results of intellectual work ""Guide Book for Community Strategic Entrepreneurial Development"". Guide explains not only why the entrepreneurial skills that are needed and that the European education system lacks balance, but also gives a general idea of learning opportunities throughout life. It describes the activities undertaken within the project (laboratories, international project meetings, conferences), and presents the conclusions drawn from observations and experiences related to the project. Also suggests how to improve the concept of entrepreneurship in Europe, as well as increase the number of people who decide to run their own business.During the project, there were three international project meetings with each of the partners. They allowed the exchange of experiences, information flow and joint development of principles guide. The way to promote the project and disseminate the project results were organized conferences. Differences business partners led to a different approach to the form and presentation topics.The main results of the project should increase the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, greater openness of the participants, increased self-confidence and motivation and to develop management skills. We expect that the acquired skills will help participants to find better jobs and become inspired to start their own business. For the project partners gained experience will allow the use of new knowledge in the realization new projects abroad."

    Ecosys4you designs and implements a cross-country educational programme for young people with passion for entrepreneurship. We mobilise the flow of innovation resources in four dimensions: education, networking, market expansion, and people. Private, public and educational actors of three entrepreneurial ecosystems in the Ruhr (DE), Varna (BG), and Maribor (SI) regions co-create the programme. The activities add value to existing entrepreneurship education of the regional higher education institutions: based on our common competence, we establish and set up high quality cross-ecosystem activities for future entrepreneurs. The main activities are joint classes, mentoring, real-world challenges and internships at start-ups. Experience of founders and established entrepreneurs drive the programme’s design. Their benefit is the opportunity to enter new markets opened up by Ecosys4you. The programme is open to students and young alumni from higher education institutions, professional schools, graduates who wish to found a company, and other young people who want to discover entrepreneurial spirit. We expect to reach 200 young people, among them at least 80 women in 2 cohorts (2024-2025), and stimulate foundation of about 5-10 start-ups and innovations as a major outcome. Due to close collaboration with lecturers as well as organisational and financial measures designed in Ecosys4you, we assure a self-sustaining programme to continue after project finalisation.

    PROJECT BACKGROUND & INTENDED IMPACTS:The overarching goal of the project is in line with two priorities of the Europe 2020 strategy: SMART & INCLUSIVE GROWTH. The priorities shall be supported by empowering young adults in the acquisition of legal skills. With an awareness of and know-how in different legal schema individuals develop greater problem solving capabilities, can advocate their interests and gain a sense of self-efficacy. This enables them to better adapt to new conditions, make potential career shifts and be more open to mobility within the European Union. Furthermore, legal training can strengthens their entrepreneurial spirit and civic engagement because they know about related laws and the effectiveness of their actions. PROJECT AIMSBRIGHT@EU provides the European educational landscape with an innovative non-academic basic legal training which enables future participants to• use of the law and justice mechanisms to expand access to public goods and services or to reduce marginalisation and inequality• understand by which national and EU laws they are affected and which rights and duties they have• autonomously read and understand basic legal texts (e.g. contracts, constitutions, judgments, wills, etc.)This gain in qualifications and skills have economic and social benefits:• Legal knowledge is a transversal skill that many businesses and political/civil organisations seek in their employees. Simultaneously, it enhances training participants’ chances of employment by championing not only professional skills but also legal know-how for law-sensitive issues (e.g. data protection, writing contracts, commerce, human resources, etc.).• Greater work mobility on the European job market due to knowledge of labour, commercial and social laws and job seekers’ realisation that there are supportive mechanisms for foreign employees in different EU states.• Positive impact on society because more citizens are knowledgeable in legal issues and can estimate legal consequences of political/economic decisions, thus making informed decisions as voters.• Expanded scope of action of European citizens by gaining an understanding of legislative principles and encouragement of greater interaction with European institutions and citizen initiatives.TARGET GROUP• first, multipliers (teachers and those working in adult education) should have a chance to use the new interactive educational tool for law teaching• furthermore, this tool should give jobseekers knowledge about their rights in the EU work contextFor the implementation and dissemination of BRIGHT@EU we identify following stakeholders:• national Employment Service • national Recruitment Agencies• national further education institutions as well as welfare institutions with labour and social policy objectivesThose stakeholders have a clear mission vis-à-vis the final target group and know their demands as well as the economic demands across national boundaries.PROJECT PARTNERS• P1(CZ): bit cz training is highly experienced in compiling training materials, customized and pedagogical development of training and online programs as well as in project implementation.• P2(IT): Asterisco has a broad network of relevant stakeholders and is essential for the dissemination of the project inputs and results. P2 is responsible for the research analysis.• P3(CYP): European Cyprus University a school provided academic support and essential inputs for the curriculum content as well as the learning materials. The key persons of the project are from the law Faculty that is why P3 provides legal experts for BRIGHT@EU for development of the specialized texts.• P4 (SP): The FyG Consultores is providing several training programs for youths and adults and is a training centre specialized in VET trainings and certifications. P4 has additionally a broad network of relevant partners for the dissemination of the project results.METHODS & ACTIVITIES:An appropriate basic legal training and the training of multipliers should enable the capacity building of non-academic legal education in European countries. In particular, competences relevant for the increase of employment opportunities should be conveyed, such as labour law, social law, commercial and trade law. Additionally employment and social provisions in the EU member states should be promoted in order to point out the benefits and advantages of the EU for the individual scope of action. The acquisition of non-academic legal knowledge shall be extended, standardized and validated through BRIGHT@EU. All BRIGHT@EU products were developed and tested in a Pilot Testing for quality assurance by 21 adult educators.

    CEPAE will be developed in a context of difficultues among the different european educational systems which are trying to overcome the phenomenon that is affecting negatively the european early leavers at personal and professional background. Looking at the partner countries, three of them have high Early Leaving Rate (ESL) rate (Italy, Turkey and Spain), whereas the partnership is also participated by Germany in which the educative system is working in a good way given that it has enviable indicators related to ESL rates.Moreover, the fight against ESL phenomenon is one of the main objectives for the Erasmus + programme. The general improvement of education in all of the EU regions is an obligation for all state members, as mechanism to increase the levels of social conditions that provide to have a good trainind and educative background.The general objective ot this project is contributing to reduce, as much as possible, the ESL rate, initially in the country partners of CEPAE and, lately, in all over European Regionas thanks to the disseminating activities foresee that will have a strong impact.CEPAE contemplates the participation of two target groups in a double strategy:- Botton-up strategy, involving some students through their participantion in an intervention model based on coaching that will produce the outpunt O2 - Coaching Guide. It will be a guide to be used by other institutions for adopting and implementing the model, as well as containing a set of best practices that target to improvie the availiability of tools and ideas that could be helful in the fight agains ESL at European Scope. Directly participaton of 60 students is foresse and also and indirect impact over 800 students through the educators who will participate in the project. - Top-botton strategy, involving the educators who are working with potential early leavers, in the implementation of the coaching intervention model as much as in the final product product O3 - Cooperation on line platform, on which the educators will interact to improve the availability of tools related to the fight against ESL. This platform wil be working for five years more after then end of the project, as part of the agreements that the partnership will sign with FCVPE. We estimate that 40 educators will be directly involved in the implementation of the project and 120 will be indirectly involved.Foresee activities in the project consider a double strategic methodology:- Theoric methodology, focused on the theorical analysis of risk factors that explain the ESL phenomenon in the partner countries. analysis of available statistics and elaboration of the student profile with propension to become into a early lyver. The target is supporting the educatoris with tools to identify potential early leavers.- Practical methodology, focused on the implementation of a coaching intervention modelthat will be implemented by the Italian, Turkish and Spanish partners with the aim of testing its efectivity and sharing it, through the disseminating tools proposed, with all European Educative institutions by using the product O2 - Coaching Guide which will containt the main guidelines to adopt the model.The most important final results of the project are:- Early leavers profile, to identify them and being able to anticipate to their ESL.- Coaching Intervention Model which will be adaptable to any educative institution at European scope.- Improvement of the quality of educators and trainers of schools in which there is a high ESL rate, thanks to the Cooperation on line Platform that will be enriched with the collaboration of these educators.So we will produce tools that will be useful and trasnferable to the frame of the fight against ESL.Finally, thanks to the local, regional, national and European partners, it is foresse that all products and final results will have a big impact at any of the already mentioned scopes, through the disseminating activities proposed.It looks quite reasonable to think that the project will be useful in long-term because it aims to provide the educative system with additional and innovative tools that will improve the rates of ESL. If the intervention model foresee is a success, and we are sure about this, it will be adopted by the wider educative community.
