ABOUT THE PROJECT

Youth unemployment had been already for several years one of the most burning issues in Europe
when it comes to both, EU and non-EU states. Especially it had been visible in Eastern Europe, as
the result of certain historic circumstances, political instability and economic crisis.

One of the possible solutions and ways to decrease the level of youth unemployment in Europe
generally and the countries of Eastern Partnership particularly is empowering and promoting
entrepreneurship among young people. At the same time, in the last years we can observe another
phenomenon which is a blooming development of IT sector and professionals in the Eastern
European countries. Taking into the consideration those two facts, such as the high level of youth
unemployment and the number of competent IT professionals, the possible solution in this situation
can be promoting IT entrepreneurship among young people.

Therefore, the objectives of the project are:

 To educate youth workers from the participating organisations about tools and methods in
youth work related to empowering young people and promoting entrepreneurship;
 To share good practices from the participating countries and organisations;
 To promote IT entrepreneurship among young people in the participating countries;
 To raise awareness among young people and in local communities about the economic
potential of the region;
 To research the needs of young people in local communities regarding entrepreneurial
education;
 To establish partner relationships and networking between participating organisations;
 To raise the capacities of participating organisations in the field of non-formal education.
 To promote Erasmus+ Programme and its opportunities for young people.

The training course with the participation of 30 youth workers from 10 partner organisations will
take place in Yerevan, Armenia, during 25th of February – 05th of March, 2018. The activity will be
based on non-formal methods, such as workshops, learning by doing, simulations, presentations,
theatre plays, group work, etc. The detailed description of the methodology and learning outcomes
is presented in the timetable below.
