The training activity took place
in Kleve, Germany
organised by JuBuK
30.06.-06.07.2015

Aims & objectives

This training course was organized by JuBuK, Germany and it is financed by the European program Erasmus+.
The European Commission recognizes Entrepreneurship Education as a tool that can support young people to be more entrepreneurial. This is about how to develop a general set of competencies applicable in all walks of life, not simply about learning how to run a business. It included all forms of learning, education and training which contribute to entrepreneurial spirit, competence and behavior - with or without a commercial objective.
The practical exercises of the training were based on non-formal education in order to guide participants to go beyond the understandable and the predictable. The portfolio exercises encouraged creativity and boost young entrepreneurs’ confidence.
Particular objectives:
-To exercise entrepreneurship through workshops and practical exercises
- To understand changing and dynamic nature of entrepreneurship.
-To create stronger partnerships for future projects in the European context.
--To promote and develop innovative ideas and share good practices
