The main theme of the 8 day project (including travel days) is entrepreneurship against unemployment. Today youth unemployment is a huge problem as in Armenia as also in the other 7 countries that are involved in the project. We want to touch this problem and make a step to solve it. Everybody should understand that they are not alone and they can solve their problems themselves.

Objectives of the project are:

-Exchange of experience and developing skills for 32 young people and youth workers from 8 European countries for using entrepreneurship on the way of unemployment

-to provide a dynamic venue where young people through spirited dialogue could link theory and practice in the theme of entrepreneurship

-to train participants use entrepreneurship as a tool against youth unemployment.

Objectives:

1. Developing skills for project participants from 8 countries for carrying out activities against youth unemployment.

2. Encourage youth organizations, youth workers during to use creativity and entrepreneurship in projects / activities.

3. Realizing plans of activities to be developed in the communities of participating countries regarding entrepreneurship and unemployment.

General objectives:

The main objective is that we are sure we could achieve through our project is contributing to mutual understanding and intercultural learning. Beside organizing the seminar we are going to involve young people who are motivated and prepared to share their gained knowledge with other colleagues and members of their organizations, communities.

Than another objective is that our project meets is promoting European cooperation in the youth field. Putting together the 32 youth workers and young people will provide them several opportunities of cooperating at the activities’ level, but it will also provide opportunity to build ideas for future common initiatives that could be developed at international level.

The project we are proposing meets several of the YiA priorities, but mainly: participation of young people, cultural diversity and creativity and entrepreneurship. The way how it meets participation of young people and entrepreneurship is approaching the non-formal education method which is by definition a participative method. On the cultural diversity will be tackled by the participation of young people belonging to so different cultural and social backgrounds.
