The Change Makers: Sustainable Development through Entrepreneurship Education

The TC is aimed at supporting the fight against youth unemployment sustainably and solving various social problems in order to achieve a more inclusive and sustainable growth in the local society. Sustainable entrepreneurship education is offering an excellent perspective: just as business entrepreneurs change the face of business, ecopreneurs, social entrepreneurs are the agents of change in their societies, developing ideas and new approaches in dealing with the issues of education, inclusion, environmental awareness, new policy development etc., all leading to changing the lives of people in their local community for the better. The goal of the TC is to educate and prepare young people who are considering to embark on an entrepreneurial careers to address the issues related to the tree pillars that represent sustainable development – Economic Prosperity, Environmental Protection and Social Justice. The TC will prepare its participants for addressing these issues in their local communities innovatively and creatively. The use of non-formal methods as inputs and discussions in plenary sessions, exercises and simulations, thematic working groups and workshops and the use of open space methodology will provide the foundation for the participants' learning processes. Emphasis will be given to the exchange of entrepreneurial and non-formal educational practices and networking among the partners and with the local community of Sajan. The TC will include participants from Germany, Albania, Czech Republic, Romania, Italy, Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo.
