Training methods used & main activities

METHODOLOGY:
This non-formal education training course will be characterized by highly participatory, interactive and experiential methods. The participants will have a chance to participate in sessions of entrepreneurial education and implement them by themselves, gather feedback from other participants, reflect on their facilitation skills and improve them.

Outcomes of the activity

RESULTS:
The "Young Entrepreneurs - If not you then who?" methodology has been designed, so that the participants:
- get to know the methodology and the ideology (Economy for the Common Good) that it is based on;
- get familiar with all sessions (20 in total) from the view as participant and also from the role as facilitator:
- create alternative options/ideas for how to implement each session;
- get highly motivated to put the methodology into practice, once back in their countries.
