Young Entrepreneurs in Time of Crisis (YETC)
Welcome to our second newsletter under the project Young Entrepreneurs in Time of Crisis (2021-1-BG01-KA220-YOU-000028893), funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, through a consortium of six youth organisations from Bulgaria, Italy, Greece, North Macedonia, Poland and Romania.
The project duration is 01/02/2022 – 30/09/2023.
Invitation
On 26 October, from 16:00 to 18:00 CET, we will hold the Online networking event – Growing Entrepreneurial Mindset. The event aims to bring together the young entrepreneurs identified during the course of collection of the best practices to exchange knowledge, ideas and experiences.
The event includes a project presentation, guest speakers and two breakout sessions on the impact of Covid-19 on entrepreneurial activities and one for networking in the four thematic sectors (social, cultural, green and digital) for participants to decide with whom they wish to exchange knowledge and new ideas.
The online networking event targets youth entrepreneurs, NGOs and also young people who share common ideas and concerns about entrepreneurship.
What we did so far
Action plan for promoting entrepreneurial skills and learning
We prepared and disseminated a survey across the partner countries to examine the attitudes, skills gaps and interests of young people in entrepreneurship. The survey results helped to draft countries’ analyses that support young people and entrepreneurship in the partner countries.
The final document, an Action plan for promoting entrepreneurial skills and learning is available in English, Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian, Italian, North Macedonian and Polish.
Best practices database
The partners identified 54 best practices of young entrepreneurs who launched their initiatives at the beginning of the pandemic in four thematic sectors: digital, ecological, cultural and social.
The best practices are available on the YETC website.
