Project Results

Firstly, research will be conducted to find out already existing Good Practices for boosting the entrepreneurship of youth with fewer opportunities. The latter will be used to interview 40 youths with fewer opportunities and survey 120 specialists already working with youth. See the interpretation of the questionnaire results here.

Secondly, The New Methods will be drafted by specialists from partner countries based on the research results presented.

Thirdly, the main Guidelines and Plan for leading the Mentorship and Capacity Training will be composed.

It is an interactive online platform that generates a business idea mind map/action plan. This tool helps future entrepreneurs to make a plan for any goal they set for themselves. SBPPO will work in two functions:

  1. Idea conceptualization – youth will fill in the answers to questions provided by the programme. After filling in all the questions, the user with fewer opportunities is provided with an automatically generated structured idea/mind map of his/her business idea.
  2. Action plan creation – by filling in questions, the youngster is led through step-by-step planning of business idea implementation. After filling in all the questions, the user is provided with an automatically generated action plan.
