The purpose of the project is to develop a new methodology and teaching and learning model based on gamification for entrepreneurship compiled of both Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship. We aim to develop experiential learning model with a game and external business partners who will act as mentors to pupils and guide them in the process. Pupils work in teams to create virtual companies. At the end of the course pupils make expeditions to real companies and investors to present their businesses.The two target groups of NeXT are: - primary target are high school pupils in 10th,11th and 12th grades. Pupils are from general education and specialization in Management and Entrepreneurship.- secondary group - teachers in Geography and Economics; teachers in Entrepreneurship. Small-scale pilots of the model that we are proposing in NeXT have already been undertaken in the participating organisations and they show this model leads to reduction of early school leavers and higher pupils ‘engagement and thus better grades. By developing the project we have the following key objectives:- to take pupils out of their comfort zone via gamification to focus on user empathy, whole-brain thinking, collaboration, and experimentation;- to encourage pupils to start their own innovative businesses - whether or not they proceed and really found enterprises, they will develop entrepreneurial mindset and key business knowledge and skills; - to create better collaboration between schools and real businesses – in the process we foresee the active participation of managers and experts who will provide guidance and mentorship; - to develop necessary digital skills for both target groups - one, we aim for digital (virtual) business creation by student teams and second, lecturers use open educational resources to deliver the course and make it available widely. The project is set to produce four intellectual outputs as follow:-Teaching methodology and course syllabus; -Game, manual and training materials; -Teacher’s manual and study documentation; -Open education space platform. The ultimate outcome is development of a game and digital tools for starting and developing innovative business. The project will start with a detailed description and outline of the game content with the respective templates, tools and other elements that will be developed. We are focusing to equip the young people with the skills and mindset to start their own businesses Thus we develop our methodology in compliance with it as well taking into consideration the concepts we are using as well:- Innovation management with its elements – innovation culture, innovation process and capacity, innovation leadership. - Entrepreneurship – key elements of how to start a business- Intrapreneurship – how to develop the business- Design thinking – as a process to generate innovative products and services following the Stanford’s d.school framework: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test.The project aims to adapt the development of competences to the changing world. The students will not work to learn new things but to think of new things from scratch and interact with the real business. NeXT project is designed for strengthening the links between school education and business and enhancing the entrepreneurial training by building effective methodology and course framework to be implemented across different schools and applicable to various competence levels.

The project lasted for two years and was attended by 6 partner countries. There were five LTT activities in two years, and work that was done outside of these meetings. Unfortunately, due to the global coronavirus pandemic situation, on agreement with the partners, the last meeting was held online. Nevertheless, all project goals and outputs were met.The project focused primarily on supporting high school students aged 15-18, reducing their ESL (early school leaving) rate, increasing competencies that would accompany them throughout their studies and working life and also introduce them to the issue of motivation, working in an international team, effective communication, expression of opinions and attitudes, and multilingualism. Pupils also met and worked on concepts such as racism, gender issues and discrimination during the project. The pupils learned to present their work confidently. They learned to understand individual cultures from their historical roots until now. They also learned to analyse a given problem, evaluate it correctly and find the most appropriate solution. They learned all this mainly thanks to the carrying out tasks (presentations, videos, surveys, etc.), which were based on the project and which they had to introduce and present at each meeting.The project also supported teachers and other staff at the school. Especially in further education, learning about new, different cultures and encouraging cooperation at the international level.The project will have long-term benefits for pupils, their parents, and teachers, as well as for other participants - cities, municipal leaders, neighbouring schools, local media, and the public. In each of them, it left an awareness of the project implementation at the international level and was an example of good practice for potential new participants in the Erasmus+ project.

Proposed project addresses to the needs of partner organizations to have better prepared for the challenges informational society brings to our lives. Online dimension and the potential negative impact on democratic development amplify its risks and gives new reasons for concern among young people and organizations working in education.Project aim is raise awareness on childrens cyberbullying and hate speach and to provide a widely usable training solutions and cyberbullying prevention and critical thinking skills through partner cooperation and exchange of expertise, methodologies and good practices in order to reduce the effects and consequences in EU.The specific objectives of project are:-to protect pupils from hate speech, media fake news, bullying in new medial by incorporating critical thinking of professionals in the field (social work, teaching, nursing) as well as their clients, as well as intervention methodology including mentoring approach.-to strengthen the links between between primary and secondary prevention approach, by raising the awareness of young professional and vulnerable young people, in terms of recognizing forms and characteristics of cyberbullying and online hate speech identifying ways of interventions and reactions, and finding solutions to negative effects of this phenomenon-To develop skills and knowledge of teachers to protect their young pupils from cyberbullying and online hate speech.-To prevent cyberbullying, online hate speech and media fake news by improving critical thinking skills of teachers and pupils.The project will be carried out with the participation of the partner organizations from 4 countries (Romania, Turkey, Spain, Lithuania) to enforce the quality of the results and the exchange of best practices, as well as to foster the positive impact of the project at European level.
