N.E.O (New Employment Opportunities)

The project wants to create and develop actions to promote new politics of propping up and integrating jobs, to encourage the youth entrepreneurship in a participated way, shared by the young people with local politicians, authorities, experts and businessmen. That wants to be an attempt to face the European and global crisis, which seems to be very close to the youngest. Nowadays in all over Europe one of the biggest hot issues is the unemployment and due to the economical crisis, more and more young people can not get a job, meanwhile they don’t have any possibility to improve their skills and gain more knowledge in order to have a better chance. During the seven days training course we will implement activities and exercises that strengthen some of these basic creative entrepreneurship competencies: team-building, facilitation, communication, intercultural competence and creative thinking skills. We will explore why creative thinking is considered a core entrepreneurship skill and enhance participants’ power as entrepreneurs by increasing their ability to think creatively. Several methods will be combined to explore the topics: intercultural learning exercises, simulation exercises, discussions, creative thinking techniques, self-assessment inventories, reflection groups and presentations. With our training course, we would like to emphasis on the choices of unemployed young people: closing themselves into their rooms and being depressive, not having contact with their environment and give it up after getting no letters for a job interview.
