Practice Makes Entrepreneurs
This training course is mainly focused on the practical skills that any future entrepreneur needs to have. The project will enable young people to come in touch with an array of soft skills acquired through non-formal educational methods making them ready to enter into the business arena.
‘Practice Makes Entrepreneurs’ is seeking to equip youth workers and leaders who work directly with young unemployed people with essential business and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, in order to make them capable to indicate ‘alternative paths’ correlated with the labor market, thus contributing to the limitation of the unemployment among youth. Specifically, by saying ‘alternative paths’ it’s being implied the promotion of self-employment and a general cultivation of an entrepreneurial culture. The above target will be accomplished through a combination of practical knowledge provision on entrepreneurship, and a parallel cultivation of a positive way of thinking within the side-paths of self-awareness and self-motivation
In line with the Erasmus+ requirements, the project’s general objectives are:
– to provide practical tools using non-formal education that inspire young people to take entrepreneurial action.
– to create a space to reflect on educational non-formal tools related to entrepreneurship and pave the way for their transferability and further development.
– to develop entrepreneurial competences that make use of the non-formal education in youth work in order to stimulate self-employment and entrepreneurial culture among unemployed youth.
– to develop a sustainable network among youth organizations which are being associated with entrepreneurship within EU and create stronger partnerships for future projects in the European context.

Say NO to islamophobia
Islamophobia is considered one of the strong driving stimuli in the radicalization of young Muslims in Europe. One of the reasons behind the radicalization of young Muslim is seen as their failure to be fully accepted into European societies, even those who were born and raised in Europe and have European passports. The desired impact of this project is not only to clear away the prejudice against Islam but also to both stop and prevent any kind of fearful approach toward the philosophy and any practices of the religion of Islam.
The main aim of “Say no to Islamophobia” is to equip youth workers with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop practical tools for combating Islamophobia and counteract the spread of negative ideas about Islam and Muslims in their local contexts. Furthermore, the project will use non formal learning methodology including methods such as: ice breakers, energizers, name games, reflection groups, working into intercultural subgroups, facilitated discussion, creative presentations, simulation, case study, and debates.
In line with the Erasmus+ requirements, the project’s general objectives are:
– to provide practical tools using non-formal education to fight against islamophobia and radicalization
– to create a space to reflect within a multicultural background
– to expand participants’s network
– to develop a sustainable network among youth organizations and create stronger partnerships for future projects in the European context.
