Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "Undertaking actions= making changes" is an international training course for youth workers under the Key Action 1 of the Erasmus+ Program. The proposed project aims at achieving common understanding of the concept of entrepreneurship so that it could be used for initiating social actions in view of bringing sustainable society changes. Objectives of the course are: *) To inform the participants about the potential of youth entrepreneurship and the ways it could be used *) To develop entrepreneurial competences and pro-active attitudes of participants in view of the initiation of social actions as key youth work elements *) To practice different project management tools in order to plan actions for sustainable development at individual, organizational and society levels via future joint transnational actions and entrepreneurial projects *) To develop international teamwork abilities of participants and stimulate their sense of initiative *) To present the concept of entrepreneurship through examples of successful entrepreneurs which could be seen as role models *) To share best practices in the field of entrepreneurship and empower the target group to act as multipliers within their organizations and communities The project will be held in Lille and will gather 32 youth workers coming from 8 Program countries. The participants which the project will gather are all members of the youth partner organizations, interested to develop their competences and to multiply the effect of the project within their local communities. The target group is composed of youth workers, trainers or project managers all working in the youth sector. The training course will be held through a highly participatory approach and non formal educational methods which combine theoretical and practical components. The experience of the participants will be valued as a resource for the whole group in order to achieve transfer of competences and best practices sharing. Therefore the course will be based on the specific learning needs of the participants. The team of trainers will create a learning space, where participants are encouraged and coached to go beyond their comfort zone and in this way achieve development at all levels personally and professionally. The project is expected to equip participants with entrepreneurial competences such as sense of initiative and will encourage pro-active civic attitude, to be transferred later to the target groups with which the participants work on a daily basis and within their local communities in order to achieve multiplying effect. The local communities will benefit of an increased number of opportunities to get involved in civic and social initiatives and actions which the participants will be better able to organize after their participation in this training course. Therefore, on a long term basis the project will bring an increased level of youth participation in society and sustainable social changes might be expected.
