Sobre la entidad de acogida

Our mission is to develop, implement and support youth development programs built around the concepts of lifelong learning, mobility and associativity.

It works to empower young people to participate actively in society to improve their own lives. The aim of this empowerment is to establish a wide-based community movement which encourages the positive involvement o young people in solving issues which affect them, treating them as resources, not as problems.

Sobre el proyecto

The project is set to be implemented in 5 high schools in Craiova implementing 5 youth development programs for 150 youngsters (aged between 14 and 18 years) with the help of 5 volunteers split resulting in increased knowledge, skills and competences for the target group and volunteers.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

The general objective is to increase self-employment (entrepreneurship) and employment on the labor market for 150 pupils from grades 9-12 from 5 high schools in Craiova with the help of 5 volunteers.
The project is structured in 3 main phases:
A1. Preparation, Adaptation and Training Program (PAT) 1 month, – It’s an intensive program that relies heavily on the fact that volunteers have a good understanding of how entrepreneurship and the labor market work, but also on the idea that volunteers are able to provide additional information besides the activities aiming to increase skills that support the overall success of the project as well as the personal and professional development of the volunteers. The project also focuses on transmitting the theoretical knowledge that volunteers have in order to be able to work with the beneficiaries.

A2. Entrepreneurship SEED Campaign – 1 month. At this stage, the volunteers, using the skills and information gained during the PAT, will implement an awareness-raising campaign focused on transmitting information concerning entrepreneurship and the training method to the exercise firms. The campaign will be implemented in the 5 partner institutions and will aim to increase the participants’ interest in the project and the enrollment of the
beneficiaries. The activity will consist of group presentations in each school, posting promotional materials about the project and future activities, providing brochures and talking directly with the students. At the end of the month, a roundtable will be held in each institution, attended by both teachers and pupils. The main results of the campaign will be recruiting 150 students to participate in A3, A4 and A5.

A3. Increasing self-employment skills – 2 months. This activity aims at building the skills and the knowledge of a participant in the self-employment process through entrepreneurship. The activity will use as a main method the methodology of the exercise firms in which the students are organized as a simulated enterprise and they learn how to
start and manage a business. The methodology has 8 modules (1. What is entrepreneurship, 2. How to start a business, 3. Business plan, 4. Daily business operations, 5. Resource management in an enterprise, 6. Human resources management, 7.Marketing, 8. Preparation for the Exercise Firm Fair). Each module will take place during 2 sessions that use non-formal methods of transmitting information (games, interactive presentations). The 150 students will be organized on exercise firms (at least 15 companies).

A4. The Exercise Firm Fair – the last month of the project. In the last month of the project as a final event, we will organize an event where the exercise firms from each institution will participate and promote their business idea. They will prepare product catalogs, marketing plans, promotional materials for their exercise firm, and then present
them at the fair. The objective of the event will be to provide visibility to the results of the method, to give beneficiaries an «authentic» experience by simulating a public event and to test the effectiveness of the training program so far.

The last month of the project will be dedicated to project evaluation and the extent to which it has achieved its objectives. On the basis of the assessment, we will plan future actions. We see the current project as a pilot project for testing the methodology and we will consider expanding the model to include more exercise firms in the future, depending on the success of this project.

The above mentioned activities are the general overview but each volunteer has the opportunity to propose, implement and carry on new types of activities bases on previous experiences, personal preferences, skills and abilities and well as have direct control over the methods used to implement the activities.

What will I learn in the YOU project?
Our methodology of learning by doing or experiential learning places the volunteer at the center of his/her learning process and encourage commitment to it. Each volunteer will have a personalized development plan that targets personal skills as well as professional skills, a mentor to help guide the volunteer and a counterpart to guide him in working with the target group in the working institutions.

The direct involvement of volunteers in the preparation and implementation of the project, while having permanent support from the organization in terms of tasks, encourages and establishes premises for personal and professional development.
