CONTEXT

Our partnership of five completely different and far away countries has been created out of the desire of all the schools involved to contribute more significantly to the personal and professional development of their students, improving their critical and creative thinking, promoting an entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them and their communities in the future years. In a century in which creativity, innovation, critical thinking and digital competences are the key to success, we consider it our mission to guide and support students in acquiring them. 3 of the schools have vocational profiles –MK, CZ and PL, while the other 2 have a general education profile. This will make the Erasmus+ experience even more meaningful, by providing us with different approaches to entrepreneurship. We will gain an insight into local economies and needs and our students will collaborate in order to meet those needs. Although we are part of the EU, we come from diverse places where we will encounter different social and economic contexts, different needs and interests. This makes this opportunity even more rewarding and appealing.

 

PARTICIPANTS

Through this initiative, we address a target group of 500 students aged 15-18, including both boys and girls, 30% of whom come from challenged backgrounds, low-income families or dismembered families. 100 students aged 15-18 will be directly involved in the exchanges, as participants, and as host students. There will be 5 students and 2 accompanying teachers from each country who will attend each exchange, which means 20 students and 8 teachers per school and overall 100 students and 40 teachers will have been attended to exchange meetings. OBJECTIVES 1. to enable the participants to get acquainted with new cultures and develop their intercultural competence 2. to develop students’ entrepreneurial mindset by providing them with the context for developing joint business ideas, thus improving the transition to the business world 3. to improve the soft skills of students in order to facilitate their professional development – critical and analytical thinking, communication, creativity etc., thus improving their transition to the world of work 4.to improve students’ self-confidence in unfamiliar contexts and their language skills 5. to improve the school’s European dimension through collaboration with other schools and transfer of best practices. 

MAIN ACTIVITIES

We have planned 5 student exchanges in this project, during which students will meet their peers, learn about specifics of local economies, meet entrepreneurs and visit local businesses. The practical side consists of students’ collaborative work in order to produce innovative business ideas suitable for the local economies of the partner schools which will then be adapted to students’ own local needs. The topics of the exchanges are:

1. C1 – Spanish economy and startups in agriculture.

2. C2 – Polish economy and startups in PL .

3. C3 – Macedonia economy and startups in small scale manufacturing enterprises. (excluded)

4. C4 – Turkish economy and startups in the beauty industry.

5. C5 – Czech Nation economy and startups in outdoor activities and sports.

MOTIVATION

Our partnership of five completely different and far away countries has been created out of the desire of all the schools involved to contribute more significantly to the personal and professional development of their students, improving their critical and creative thinking, promoting an entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them and their communities in the future years. In a century in which creativity, innovation, critical thinking and digital competences are the key to success, we consider it our mission to guide and support students in acquiring them. Our schools are already making efforts to promote entrepreneurial learning and initiatives have so far been taken to connect students to real-life businesses in order to facilitate their understanding of the business world. However, we firmly believe that a partnership with other European schools will boost the students’ motivation, involvement in learning will open their minds to different ideas and will enable them to compare and contrast the social and economic systems, with a view to becoming better prepared to analyze the potential of a business idea in different social and economic contexts. 3 of the schools have vocational profiles –MK, CZ, and PL, while the other 2 have a general education profile. This will make the Erasmus+ experience even more meaningful, by providing us with different approaches to entrepreneurship. We will gain an insight into local economies and needs and our students will collaborate in order to meet those needs. Although we are part of the EU, we come from diverse places where we will encounter different social and economic contexts, different needs and interests. This makes this opportunity even more rewarding and appealing. Through this initiative, we address a target group of 500 students aged 15-18, including both boys and girls, 30% of whom come from challenged backgrounds, low-income families or dismembered families.

OBJECTIVES

The general aim of the project is to facilitate the collaboration of young people from different European countries, by exchanging ideas, views, and perspectives and producing relevant business ideas for local economies. The specific objectives are: 1. to enable the participants to get acquainted with new cultures and develop their intercultural competence 2. to develop students’ entrepreneurial mindset by providing them with the context for developing joint business ideas, thus improving the transition to the business world 3. to improve the soft skills of students in order to facilitate their professional development – critical and analytical thinking, communication, creativity, etc., thus improving their transition to the world of work 4.to improve students’ self-confidence in unfamiliar contexts and their language skills 5. to improve the school’s European dimension through collaboration with other schools and transfer of best practices Our objectives are consistent with the priorities established by the European Commission and published in the Programme Guide. We aim to develop basic skills and key competencies in order to foster employability, language skills, critical thinking and creativity and applying them into key fields for economic development. We are going to promote the project and establish partnerships with local businesses and entrepreneurs in order to improve the quality and relevance of the project. We also meet the second priority, Social and educational value of European cultural heritage, its contribution to job creation, economic growth and social cohesion, through the fact that the exchanges will have an important intercultural component and are built on the principle of intercultural learning. Students from different countries work together, learn together, and communicate in order to achieve the same goal. The exchanges will enable us to produce some valuable outputs: presentations about local economies in the 5 partner countries, student-made brochures about local businesses, 20 startup business ideas and business plans developed by multicultural teams of students, evaluation forms for business plans completed by entrepreneurs, workshop materials, students’ testimonials, initial and final evaluation, feedback forms, self-assessment forms, project brochure “Business ideas for students”, project website, eTwinning space, 137 Europass mobility documents and certificates of attendance, 5 interim reports and final reports. The outcomes consist of an increased capacity of students to integrate professionally in the field of business and work, increased competence of school educators to facilitate the transition of students to the world of work/business and the increased relevance of schools for the 21st century needs.
