Students Actively Learning Entrepreneurial Skills

Our partnership, consisting of five completely different and remote countries, was created from the desire of all schools involved to contribute more to the personal and professional development of students, to develop their critical and creative ideas, and to support entrepreneurship to serve. In a century when creativity, innovation, critical thinking and digital competencies are the key to success in the coming years, we think it is our mission to guide and support students in acquiring them.Our schools are already making efforts to encourage entrepreneurial learning and so far attempts have been made to connect students to real-life businesses to facilitate their understanding of the business world. The 2 of the schools have a professional profile - BE and BG, and 3 of them have a general education profile. This makes the Erasmus + experience more meaningful by providing different approaches to entrepreneurship. We will get an idea of local economies and needs, and our students will collaborate to meet these needs.Thanks to this initiative, we address a target group of 500 students at the age of 15-18, including both boys and girls, 30% from difficult backgrounds, low-income families, or fragmented families. It is also worth noting that students from RO school have very few opportunities to explore the world due to the socio-economic opportunities, who are also geographically quite inner part from the rest of Europe.We planned 5 student exchanges in this project:1. C1 - the economy of Bulgaria and beginners in agriculture2. C2 - Romanian economy and IT initiatives3. C3 - Czheck economy and initiatives to small businesses4 C4 - Turkey's economy beginners and beauty industry5. C5 - Introduction to the Belgium economy and outdoor activities and sports activitiesThe overall aim of the project is to facilitate cooperation by exchanging ideas, opinions and perspectives of young people from different European countries and by generating relevant business ideas for local economies.Special objectives:1. To enable participants to meet new cultures and develop their intercultural competence2. To develop the entrepreneurial mentality of students by offering the context of developing joint venture ideas, thereby improving the transition to the business world3. To facilitate the professional development of students, critical and analytical thinking, communication, creativity etc. Improve soft skills, thus improving their transition to the world of work4. to increase students' self-confidence in foreign contexts and language skills5. Improve the European dimension of the school through cooperation with other schools and transfer of best practicesActivities are to contribute step by step to reach the targets we have set. For this reason, we plan to plan 5 main activities, C1-C5, before the preparatory activities and to follow the dissemination activities that aim to increase the impact of the project activities and transfer them to the other stakeholders.Before the exchanges, we will select the participants at the beginning of the project. Once the mobility groups are created, all schools will organize preparatory modules with the participants on the project - Entrepreneurial training module, Language module, Culture module and Practical Module.Entrepreneur Module Business Studies / Entrepreneur training will be organized by teachers and it will take at least one minute. Students are asked to research and prepare presentations about the economic context of their districts, identify and discuss successful initial ideas in their field, and identify basic skills and competencies.ExchangesEach change will be built on a similar pattern, covering theoretical and practical aspects and collaborative work on students' work plans, which are then evaluated and negotiated by the local experts in multicultural groups.120 students at the age of 15-18 will participate directly in the exchanges as participants and host students. From each country there will be 6 students to participate in each exchange, that is, 24 students in total. They will also participate in the preparation of exchanges hosted by their school. - teachers - In addition to 30 teachers who play a key role in the implementation, dissemination, evaluation and project coordination, there will also be other teachers taking part in the preparation of the participants and the arrangement of practical arrangements for local activities (about 20). Our project will affect the school at different levels:- development of human resources - students will develop their creativity, critical thinking, communication and organizational skills. - developing partnerships with local businesses. Partnerships for exchanges will strengthen cooperation between schools and businesses.- Development of a material base with brochures and worksheets that will be used to improve students' entrepreneurship skills in the future.
