The Future of Europe

About the project
Unemployment in Europe is high and many young people can expect an uncertain future with difficulties of getting into the labour market unless they are able to create job opportunities for themselves. But, what are the difficulties that we have to face? The lack of specific skills, lack of inspiration and motivation and a school curriculum neglegting employability and entrepreneurial training in favor of theorretical knowledge with little or no practical exsperience. We as schools have an obligation to equip our students so that they can create employment opportunities for themselves as well as for others and contribute to economic growth. This is done, thanks to this project, through an entrepreneurial approach consisting in lessons, workshops, competitions and company visits aimed at creating the right conditions to promote the sense of initiative and self-entrepreneurship. Moreover, the young Europeans will act in an international environment so they will be able to compare the different managerial approaches and business culture and develop the soft skills, so important to enter the current labour market.
