Grundtvig partnership "You can do it"
The aim of the YOCAIT Partnership is the exchange of experiences in start-up and management practices as well as creative work methods in crafts & trade at a transnational level; it brings these two aspects together and supports self-entrepreneurship of disadvantaged women in an innovative way. Targeted women should get new opportunities of creating self-entrepreneurship using their creative skills for incidental earnings and through the flexible time get a better work life balance.The project bases on two components: Component 1 includes activities offering information and practical support on micro-business start ups. Component 2 deals with encouragement of “creative heads”.
Component 1 will be fulfilled through seminars offering technical support how to start up. Therefore 6 project meetings will be organized with involvement of learners. The first day of each meeting is dedicated to national start-up information, where experts will provide consultancy and guidance how to set up micro-businesses (management, financial requirements,legislation frameworks, etc).The second day of the meetings will be planned for small workshops (Component 2),where the national and international learners will participate in the “creative café” which will be organized for an exchange of skills and competences in the field of crafts & trade. Each partner who will organize a meeting will invite disadvantaged women from his region but also women who already set up micro-businesses as good practice examples.The meetings will include also study visits to different women organizations and associations offering support. Thanks to the face-to-face interaction of the participants during the meetings we assume an effective exchange of experiences and information among European countries. |
