Project “Be the best” targets young entrepreneurs and active citizens of the European Union from 18 to 25. Three international groups each consisting of seven people from Poland, Lithuania and Estonia will take part in a business simulation. They will join forces in order to face the reality of the economic world and therefore they will become familiar with the general idea of business operations. There will be workshops conducted by experts where the participants will obtain skills necessary to run their own business. These workshops include negotiating, preparing business plans and general management which all lead to a better understanding amongst the young entrepreneurs about their situation and possibilities on the labor market. There are planned activities, which aim to promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) among the youth – with an example of charity fundraising for socio-therapeutic common room in Praga Południe. The initiative’s purpose is also to eliminate social and economic barriers, a common obstacle in achieving professional success. The youth exchange will take place in Warsaw, Poland from 19 - 28 August 2013. The time of participants will be well scheduled but there will also be some free time to allow you to discover the area. The Youth in Action program will cover 100% of food, accommodation, activities and will return 70% of travel costs. There is a participation fee of 30 Euros per participant. For applying please fill in the application form below. The deadline is 10th of July. For further information, please contact: [email protected]
The youth exchange “Speak now or forever hold your peace” focuses on young people from 18 to 25 who are just entering independent life and are looking for information and encouragement for entering the job market/professional life. There will be a series of motivational games, how to write a good CV, trip to a local company and activities to help boost the confidence of the participants and give them a wider knowledge about communication skills used in different cultures. The participants come from six European countries: Estonia, Italy, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Sweden and are expected to actively participate in group discussion about how certain habits, mimics or phrases are interpreted in their countries or share their personal opinions about what is expected from a young person who has just graduated school and is about to start independent life. Apart from encouraging intercultural dialogues, the youth exchange also focuses on personal growth by having the participants take apart in several team assignments and games that are aimed at raising their self-awareness and confidence. The aim is for the participants from different cultural backgrounds to work together, learn from each other and share their own ideas. It will be an interesting experience and a chance to learn about how to feel and seem confident and knowledgeable. The youth exchange will take place near Tallinn, Estonia from 16 – 23 June 2013. The time of participants will be well scheduled but there will also be some free time to allow the participants discover the area. At least one sightseeing tour to Tallinn is planned as well to introduce the lovely capital city of Estonia to the participants and give them some time to look around. The Youth in Action programme will cover 100% of food, accomodation, activities and will return 70% of the travel costs! There will be a participation fee of 30 Eur for every participant.
