Youth Entrepreneurship Conferences

During the last week of September 2023, the final Youth conferences took place in partner countries. These final conferences aimed to disseminate the project results and engage various stakeholders to promote further entrepreneurial mindset and youth activities. More specifically, the conferences raised awareness of the project’s results by reaching and involving stakeholders outside of the project consortium. The events promoted youth activism and entrepreneurship as an opportunity for young people to overcome the current restraints and contribute to our society by using their creativity and increasing public awareness of the role of young people in the well-being of our economy and society.

The events were attended by external participants who represented the following stakeholder groups: educational institution representatives; business representatives, including business owners; youth workers; young entrepreneurs; NGO representatives (including individuals who work in projects and initiatives related to youth) and students to further disseminate and ensure the sustainability of the results after the end of the project. Each youth conference targeted at least 20 stakeholders.

Most of the events held by the partners followed a similar structure to present the results as a complete set of tools for youth organisations and young people (action plan, inspirational guide, online course and training toolkit). The partners invited young entrepreneurs as keynote speakers to present their initiatives, challenges and lessons learnt.

The final conferences were a successful way to wrap up the project, as the partners brought all the relevant stakeholders together to present the results and exchange ideas dynamically and interactively. In addition, students and other active young people were given relevant insights into the entrepreneurial landscape and encouraged to take their first steps into the business world.
