Youth StartUp Bridge!

under the Erasmus + KA1 funding scheme, Wrocław Youth Club is planning to organize two training courses under one project about Entrepreneurship and StartUps: Youth StartUp Bridge!
When and where: 26.01-5.02.2016 (Wrocław area, Poland) and 15-22.05.2016 (Szklarska Poręba area, Poland)
How many: 2 participants per NGO

The project aims at improving the competences of youth workers who are currently working with or want to start to work together with young Entrepreneurs. One concern of the project is to establish a network of partners (Youth StartUp Hubs) which will be helping young people to become entrepreneurs and help their entrepreneurship projects to achieve international coverage.
With this project, we would like to set up Youth StartUp Hubs all over Europe. The main responsibilities and activities of each of StartUp Hub will be international networking based on the rules we will set up during this project. As you can see we are looking for a very serious partners that would like in the future to develop a closer partnership with WYC and the StartUp sector.

The objectives of the training courses are:
 developing the capacity of youth organizations in the field of entrepreneurship;
 building up competences of the participants and practice tools in relevant areas of management for entrepreneurship and sustainable social initiatives
 supporting process and development: how to be a good learner and how to be creative to explore the concept of entrepreneurship and sustainable social initiatives, and to see how it applies to the participants at professional and personal level, to the represented organisations and the influence of the “market” and further stakeholders
 assessment of best practices and common pitfalls
 action planning for sustainable future development at personal and professional level (as entrepreneurs and active participants in civil society), at organisational level (to ensure sustainability in initiatives and development), and at international partnership level (via future joint actions and projects)
