The goal of the project is to enhance entrepreneurial skills and initiative in young people, especially those with disadvantages, through a new methodology called "Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs" (EELs). EELs fosters critical thinking and practical problem-solving, enabling idea implementation and better equipping them with skills for labour market.

The large-scale issue that the project addresses is growing youth unemployment and young people’s sense of disconnection from society. Latest figures show the youth unemployment ratio rose from 15.1% in 2019 to 16.8% in 2020 (Eurostat) and integration into the labour market will be increasingly challenging for many young people given the complex economic and political situations of today’s world. As a result, young people risk losing faith in their future as “growing alienation and frustration are amplified by the prospects of an insecure future and increased mistrust in public institutions.” (Pantea, Diroescu, & Podlasek-Ziegler, 2014). Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need to better equip young people with the transversal skills they need to flourish and be resilient in a fast changing world. Entrepreneurial competences have the potential to achieve this.
A publication that makes the case for the experiential approach via review of up-to-date studies (knowledge), guidance on tools and strategies to implement it (pedagogical) and good practice (empirical).
Will enable the speedy integration of Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs into youth and entrepreneurship education by developing high quality teaching and learning resources that can be used flexibly in a diverse range of situations.
Aims to increase the sense of initiative & entrepreneurial competences of young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, by putting our teaching and learning resources “into action”, via interactive & immersive entrepreneurship labs AND supporting “digital hub”.
