FATHER AND SON IN EU
Start date: Dec 31, 2015, End date: Dec 30, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The aim of the project FATHER AND SON IN EU is to promote the implementation of practical entrepreneurial experiences in education for the target group of the future start-ups among the students of the secondary vocational schools and by this way to improve the employability of the graduates of secondary vocational schools in their own businesses in the states of the EU. The project uses the results of the successfully finished Czech project FATHER AND SON and wants to develop the project results in a European dimension. Rationale of the project is to contribute to increase the rate of employment in the states of the European Union, to support of courage to self-employment among students of secondary vocational schools and to support the creation of new businesses and creation of new jobs in them. Project partners have knowledge of the lack of practical transferable competences, skills and knowledge in entrepreneurship of the students of the secondary vocational schools which would like to start a business. The aim of the project is development, creation, testing and evaluation of innovative practical intergenerational educational programme. The content of the programme is prepared on the base of interviews with successful and experienced entrepreneurs about their competencies which have led them to success in business and on the base of interviews with students of vocational schools about their knowledge needs for successful entrepreneurship. The lectors and coaches in the education program are real successful entrepreneurs not teachers. They pass a short-term training about lecturing and couching of students because they are good businessmen but they have not passed the teacher education. All consecutive intellectual outputs will be evaluated during project implementation and the evaluations and recommendations will be included in final two publications: PUBLICATION OF METHODS FOR TRANSFER OF SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS COMPETENCES TO START-UP ENTREPRENEURS and PUBLICATION FOR START-UP ENTREPRENEURS TO BE SUCCESSFUL which will be available at the project website in English in on-line library. The developed intergenerational educational programme will be offered to other vocational schools to extend their school educational program. The project has 3 partners, from the Czech Republic, Italy and The Netherlands. The survey of competences, skills and knowledge leading to success in business is done among 60 entrepreneurs, the survey of knowledge needs for business is done among 60 students (future start-ups) of vocational schools. The innovative intergenerational educational program consisting of 12 topics/seminars will be tested in the one classroom with 10 students in each partner country.
