You'll be making lots of decisions on serious matters, such as what strategy you'll pursue, as well as less important ones, like what colour paper to print it on.
Realize your idea with mentorship: October 2016 - April 2017
Participants will receive a full online support by the mentors. Every month in a 6 month period the group will gather online (video conferencing) to share experience and gain support of the group. Also the partner organization in each country participating in the project will be opened to support participants and help them find funds.
Participate in creating the documentary
At the beginning of the project each participant will tell his/her business idea for the camera in a format of an interview. During the period of one year participants will be filmed from time to time - on the modules but also in their perspective countries where they will show how their ideas are working and how successful they are in realizing the starting idea. The idea is to create a documentary that will show the process but also serve as a video manual for those who want to start their own business no matter where. The documentary will be available for free download at Biznisnova web site and all partners’ websites and social media. Other interested youth related institutions and organizations (youth centers, youth information centers, youth clubs, teacher trainings, youth offices etc.) will be asked to promote the documentary on their websites and social media. The documentary will be subtitled in English language and 9 other languages of partner countries involved in the project.
Teach young people entrepreneurship
After completing the process participants will organize workshops with young people in home country in order to empower entrepreneurship among youth by sharing personal experience.
On methodology and trainers
All activities will rely on these aspects and ensure the high level of participation:
• Meaning making: activities relevant to users’ needs, their assets are acknowledged and employed, help them reflect and make conclusions.
• Proactive approach and interactivity: based on experiential learning and learning-by-doing. All theoretical inputs will be discussed and conclusions will be made jointly in order to achieve participants’ full understanding of the content. All sessions will be interactive, demand participants’ active involvement and consist of group work activities.
• Positive learning environment: trainers will take special care that all participants feel physically and psychologically comfortable and safe to contribute, even to make mistakes and share their “weak” sides in order to learn.
• Sustainable: Training sessions are time limited, but by working with a team of three trainers/mentors we can ensure that the impacts of the training session are achieved and maintained.
