The Erasmus+ Entreception 2.0 Project ended in December 2024, leaving a significant impact on youth work and creating opportunities for socially excluded and NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) youth. The project focused on equipping youth workers, teachers, and educators with new tools to help young people build confidence, learn about entrepreneurship, and take steps toward a brighter future.
One of the key parts of the project was a training program for youth workers and teachers from Slovenia, Poland, Serbia, and Turkey. Fifteen youth workers and teachers took part in this training, where they learned practical tools such as the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and solution-focused coaching. These tools were designed to help young people, especially those facing unemployment or social exclusion, explore their strengths and boost their entrepreneurial spirit.
After the training, project participants returned to their local communities and organized more than 20 workshops. These workshops involved over 70 young participants, providing a space to explore ideas, gain confidence, and learn practical steps to turn their ideas into action. The feedback was excellent—participants found the tools helpful and inspiring, and the results showed how effective these methods can be in boosting entrepreneurial motivation and inclusion.
To share the knowledge gained, the project created a detailed manual. This manual compiles the best tools and techniques used during the project training and subsequent workshops. It is an easy-to-follow guide for youth workers and teachers, demonstrating how to use these tools to help socially excluded and NEET youth. The manual focuses on using entrepreneurship to give young people the confidence and skills they need to overcome challenges and create their own opportunities.
With over 15 youth workers and teachers trained, 20 workshops held, and 70 young participants involved, the Erasmus+ Entreception 2.0 Project has achieved great success. This project has demonstrated how entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool to include and empower young people, leaving a legacy of tools and inspiration that will continue to make a difference in communities across Europe.
