“Win youth challenge”

11-19. 11. 2019
Noisy-le-Grand, France

 

Summary:

The entrepreneur, referred to here as a leader, is a committed player in our society. This commitment is not only economic but also social. However, this commitment of the entrepreneur is not well recognized “officially”. In addition, before developing the entrepreneurial spirit among the younger generations, we must first democratize entrepreneurship. We must support our activities. Because many young women and men are unable to find formal employment opportunities, it is increasingly important to encourage entrepreneurship by mobilizing the enthusiasm, energy and ambition to contribute economic development. Most young people in the world live in countries where formal jobs are scarce in development and it can even be difficult to find informal jobs. With our association FNAFA, we have been subjected to many similar cases of lack of opportunities or support for young people.

This training project aims to increase the employment and self-employment opportunities of participants.

This project has two main components: youth employability and youth leadership with a particular focus on youth in precarious situations. To do this, it is a question of developing among young people transversal skills of leadership, self confidence, strategic vision, creativity and communication skills, the impact of its actions that can be transposed to the world of work, and in particular in entrepreneurial and social activities.

The project aims to raise awareness about the opportunities and challenges of entrepreneurship and self-employment, and to give them a better understanding of the role they can play in the construction of professional projects by young people:

– Develop positive attitudes to support the creation of sustainable businesses, self-employment and social entrepreneurship.
– Make participants aware of the principle of entrepreneurship and self-employment as a career option.
– Prepare participants to improve their knowledge of the business concept.

Find a good business idea? How to become an entrepreneur? What are the steps to become an entrepreneur? What is the profile of an entrepreneur? How to run a business? What is entrepreneurship? How to start a business? This project will take place in Noisy-le-Grand from 11 to 19 November 2019 with the participation of 25 young people from 7 partner organizations.

What we expect from you to present in these nights are: local or national dances, local music, games, little sweets, drinks, pictures, etc. from your countries.
Every country will prepare a short presentation of their culture, using all kinds of methods. It’s preferred a short and FUNNY presentation, such as showing pictures and commenting it, quiz, short video (either already existing or made by you), etc. (YES – use your creativity!). For the intercultural night, we ask you to prepare in advance a brief performance (singing, your traditional music, popular dances) to present your group (typical costumes are really welcomed!).
The main idea of this presentation is: What is important for a stranger to know about my country?
Any kind of presentation is granted, better not to do a power-point presentation to avoid yawning.
The Intercultural night is the “most wanted event” on the beginning of the youth exchange. It is a sort of traditional night opened to all participant audience made up of our group leaders, youth workers, facilitators, participants to the exchange. All National groups are asked to perform briefly (10 for your NGO and country/city not more, and 10 min for traditional dances and music) in order to introduce their self. Certainly, we need your enthusiasm and energy!!
For the Intercultural evening a Swedish buffet (cold buffet) will be organized. Here every country will bring traditional food dishes. The food that will be brought must be eatable without any processing (boiling, frying, etc). The dishes must also be accompanied by a brief description (their origin and ingredients, the way they are eaten…)
