<< Background >>The gap between the education and employment widens, and the magnitude of change in the unemployment rates varies by youth educational attainment. While bound up with the legacy of the economic crisis, the spill-over costs of the social failure in providing quality education, decent employment and social protection, could cause serious burden on the European society. The increased number of graduating students with formally recognized qualifications but poor opportunities for professional realization in their field of competences has created a high percentage of unemployed young people.Nowadays, skills deficit and mismatch is perhaps one of the most popular explanations towards debates on problems of youth professional development and their integration as active society members. This is why, the project “League for Youth Entrepreneurship” aims at building competitive knowledge-based societies, through the development of young people’s entrepreneurial potential and creativity competencies. The project intends to offer a valuable solution against youth unemployment by creating specific paths for enhancing such abilities and building up youths’ entrepreneurial mindsets and capacities<< Objectives >>The project will encourage cross-sectorial partnership and cooperation at international level, by linking the institutional environment of NGOs with educational institutions and other types of educational providers, in view of operating quality improvements in the fields of education, training and youth.The following project objectives have been specified in view of bringing positive solutions to the described situation:• To promote entrepreneurial ideas through extra-curricular activities and courses in view of increasing innovation capacity and opportunistic mindset of potential youth entrepreneurs• To embed innovative approach towards entrepreneurship in the field of education through mainstreaming the development of entrepreneurial awareness and behavior• To encourage youth to take part in entrepreneurial education in view of developing such mindsets and stimulate them to better engage in entrepreneurial actions• To enhance innovative and market-oriented entrepreneurial spirit among young people• To demonstrate the benefits of multidisciplinary and multi-professional educational approaches by the development of “Training guide on entrepreneurial leadership, management and youth entrepreneurship”• To encourage the development of a multilevel cross-sectorial system that concretely fosters entrepreneurial learning through other than formal educational means and especially through direct involvement in entrepreneurial activities<< Implementation >>The 24 months project will combine various local activities with international learning mobility opportunities for youth workers, staff members and youth as direct target groups. It will involve 6 partner institutions from 6 European countries. In addition the project will create 3 tangible deliverables which are:- Training Module on entrepreneurial leadership and management- Training Guide on entrepreneurial leadership, management and youth entrepreneurship- THE ONLINE GUILD ENTREPRENEURSHIP platformThe project will organize as well 3 transnational partners meetings and 5 local dissemination events in the partner countries. Also, at the end of the project a Final Dissemination conference in Poland will be done and it will also invite international guests from all partner organizations.Among the local activities the project has planned the cooperation with local young entrepreneurs whom will share best practices with the partner entities in view of their use for the output creation and further on within the learning mobility activities with youth. Also, associated partners will be engaged in the cooperation through various presentations and further in follow up actions. Local youth with fewer opportunities will also be stimulated to participate and support where needed to them will be provided by the partners.By aggregating their experience, knowledge and competencies, a powerful insight and constellation of resources will be procured, since the project will work on a trans-national issue, which needs to be addressed not only on national but also at European level.<< Results >>As a result, the project is expected to contribute to the development of a wider knowledge-based youth societies in the partner countries, will help to overcome the skill mismatch, thanks to the creation of tailored entrepreneurship education opportunities and will stimulate the insertion of youth in labor market by the engagement in alternative learning paths, creative thinking, exploration of entrepreneurial insights, etc.The project will operate a steady multi-stakeholder partnership and will deliver added value at European level at three performance areas:- network building- fostering mutual learning and harmonization in and beyond Europe- pooling international resources to provide for greater scope and outreach of the results achieved. The project proposal represents as well the next phase of development of youth support and institutions capability to meet the need of youth community for quality knowledge and career pathway opportunities. It will support reciprocal relationships and cros-ssectoral collaboration, so as to bring focused range of educational and training services and relevant career development opportunities.It is as well an opportunity for the partners to collaborate by merging own priorities and those of the involved regions, accelerating the link with institutions and businesses, implementing new educational strategies. Additionally, sharing the knowledge will allow partners to translate the results into new models and guidelines appropriate for their local conditions. Partners consider that the project results on a long run will achieve strong and visible positive impact across Europe and beyond, therefore will be a pre-requisite to combat youth employment, early school leaving and other issues that tend to occupy high positions within the EU Agenda.
