Social Entrepreneurs - Chance for Young
Start date: Aug 4, 2014, End date: Jan 3, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project is non-formal education of youth workers with a focus on young people's involvement in social entrepreneurship. This is a weekly seminar held in the Czech Republic - 5 days at Petrovice u Karviné and two days we will spend together in Prague. The objective of this project is to create an international network of organizations that deal with social entrepreneurship and are interested in involving young people. And also to obtain and share the necessary information and experiences in this field. Thanks to the participation of the following partners we can promise that the content of the seminar will be interesting, informative and full of inspiration. The basic themes of the workshop : Basic information about social entrepreneurship (SE), SE in the Czech Republic, the view of the European Commission at SE; Information centers, getting and sharing info about SE and youth; Franchising and innovation in SE ; Involving local communities and agriculture in SE ; Employing young people, their requirements , risks and benefits of employing young people in SE, motivation of youth; Connecting the SE with the young people and other business entities; Environmental themes in SE. Every day the seminar will focus more extensively at one of the topics. Every day there will be space for one of the partner organizations to introduce themselves in depth. The entire project is about the youth employment and about creating the international network of organizations that will help each other in SE. Each of the partners involved will be able to contribute. The biggest advantage of such cooperation is the broad spectrum of experiences for individual topics, the opportunity to compare SE in all different EU countries.
