"When we started the project Entrepreneurship was seen as ""a key competence that could boost competitiveness and growth"" and contributed ""to the general good of society."" According to a study on the SME's impact on the EU labor market published by the European Commission in January 2012, 85% of new jobs created in the EU between 2002 and 2010 were in fact created by SMEs. The consortium has left the hypothesis that the business and make it prosper it will be a challenge, regardless to the location or environment of the entrepreneur. There were various business creation and development barriers that hampered even the most courageous entrepreneurs. The lack of entrepreneurial culture and the knowledge of some tools needed to create companies limit the survival of companies and prevent persons with relevant ideas to implement it. An OECD study, indicated that on average, one third of new European enterprises did not survive its first year of existence.The results obtained from the research carried out within the project indicated the need to develop services, including guidance and counseling services, of young entrepreneurs to implement their business idea. In this respect, the most obvious challenge was to adequately contextualize the business idea by combining some fundamental aspects that were preliminary to creating the business.As far as small, small and medium enterprises are concerned, the results of the research reveal from the entrepreneurs a significant level of uncertainty and concern over the economic situation, the obstacles that may arise in the path of the necessary and continuous process of innovation and change.In these sense a consortium of 6 organizations from 6 different countries (Italy, Slovakia, France, Turkey, Spain, Romania) aimed to provide potential entrepreneurs with support, training and guidance. This project was about sharing knowledge and experience and developed pertinent tools for startups.This project intended to provide a sustained support to entrepreneurs through a system already existing in France, called ""CAE Co-op"". This feature allowed persons, often away from employment, to test their business idea before creating their own business enjoying a support and training for entrepreneurship. Emphasis was be placed on developing the capacity of trainers,counselors, coach and consultants in entrepreneurship to guide better the entrepreneurs on trial. The pilot project within this program was fully involving a 24 people with this profile, who was coached by professional trainers for entrepreneurship, receiving all the necessary tools to start their own business. Once the system made its evidence, it might be a system open to all unemployed people of these area, in particular the young people who were particularly attracted by this kind of system (already proven in France).The specific objectives were:- To develop entrepreneurial skills of persons excluded from employment, especially young people.- To strengthen support and secure the path of entrepreneurs.- Professionalization of support entrepreneurship operators through the development of a common framework for entrepreneurship training adapted to the context of respectively four territories referred by the project , drawing French, and Slovak tools.- Creation of a network involving the formation operators, economic integration, coaching and social entrepreneurship through the establishment of a platform for economic initiative.- Exploitation of results at regional and national levels.- Undertake an effective dissemination and exploitation plan, in order to spread the results and reach the highest number of end users and beneficiaries, to ensure that the results of the project will be sustainable also after the end of it."

"Central to the project was the question of how to reach those remote from education – i.e., people who for whatever reason have had little or no formal adult education - to improve their participation in further education and to design and provide low-threshold learning opportunities. Studies show that only about 10% of the low-qualified participate in further education – among graduates of universities, the participation quote is four times as high. Education experts agree that being remote from education is not due solely to the individuals themselves. Often the institutions, too, are distant from the target audience. This is why experts suggest outreach educational guidance/counselling as well as further alternative approaches to increase participation in further education.Our project ON THE MOVE had its foundations in European Policies like the Europe 2020 strategy with its goals of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Lifelong learning and the development of skills are important factors in this strategy.Aims/ObjectivesThe goals of this project has been to identifying and disseminating successful approaches improving the integration and support of the educationally remote. With this project, staff in guidance/counselling and educational institutions in Europe learned about alternative approaches (predominantly of the outreach kind) bringing educationally remote and low-qualified people to further education and will implement these in their countries. This project and its results increase the chances of the educationally remote to find (better) work, as this is directly correlated with the level of qualification. Results/Outcomes and impact- Research from all project partners on suitable best practice examples in Europe for reaching educationally remote people. This also includes previously conducted European projects, whose results we will disseminate further. - Assessment matrix which was used to evaluate the identified guidance/counselling or education projects. - Website including an Open Educational Resource with 32 projects of low threshold learning possibilities and outreach approaches from different European countries. The site is available in all partner languages except Swedish. - A professional publication which contains 32 descriptions of the identified best practice examples. The portraits include hints which enable the implementation of low-threshold learning possibilities and outreach educational guidance or other alternative approaches to reaching the educationally remote at other institutions, too. - 6 Videos in which we give an insight in selected best practice projects.- In our main product, the best practice publication, we also included general recommendations for the implementation of the outreach approach and the use of ""easy language"".- For internal use we produced and regularly updated a dissemination and a quality plan, draft a project management handbook and a project agreement.The dissemination and implementation of our identified best practice examples in outreach educational guidance and low-threshold learning opportunities increase the possibility for more organisations and professionals to adopt these strategies in their services and therefore our target groups - those remote from education - profit from better access to learning opportunities and guidance/counselling.ActivitiesDesk research in 19 European countries to identify appropriate projects + assessment groups consisting of approx. 5 people active in the area of further education, who contributed to the evaluation of the project examples using an assessment matrix. Selection of 32 best practice projects from more than 100 identified projects. Writing portraits and collecting all projects in a professional publication.Towards the end of the project, each partner organised a public event and invited educational institutions, representatives of charities, those active in adult and further education, representatives of umbrella organisations, political decision-makers, representatives of the press, and everyone who is interested in the subject. Each event reached at least 30 people resulting in 200+ participants. During these events, the best practice approaches that were identified and developed were presented and the publication was distributed.Participating organisations:team training (coordinator), Germany: provider of adult education and social work, mainly for unemployedVytautas Magnus University, LithuaniaStichting De Regenboog Groep, The Netherlands: NGO committed to people with social problemsSuperact, United Kingdom: Community Interest Company with key areas in community development, health & wellbeing and employability & skills developmentPromidea, Italy: Social Cooperative of services for people at risk of marginalizationNorrköpings stadsmuseum, Sweden: historical museum run by the municipality of NorrköpingBFI Tirol Bildungs GmbH, Austria: vocational training institute"

Many people flee from their countries and refuging to other countries because of the problems such as civil war, economical problems and their sexual orientation. These fugitive people face by many difficulties during the compulsory migration. Besides health,education, accomodation and safety problems they also face by the problems of cultural differences.
