Rolling Images in Business Startups

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Finland - Estonia - Latvia - Sweden (Central Baltic)

Description

Description (EN):

One common challenge in rural societies is that young people move away from their local communities in order to find work and education. Since traditional jobs today become more and more scarce in rural areas, young people need knowledge about entrepreneurship if they want to make a living independently in their local communities. It’s important that young people learn how to work in an international business environment, and that they get skills in understanding the cultures of their neighbors. However, the work with youth entrepreneurship that exists today has a mainly local and national perspective. Both youth business coaches and volunteer mentors from private enterprises are local. We want to give young people experiences of cross-border cooperation, and create student companies that cooperate and develop ideas together, with an international perspective present from the very first day of idea development. The overall objective of the project is to develop young people’s knowledge about entrepreneurship. The young participants will get basic knowledge about entrepreneurship, and they will have a more positive attitude towards entrepreneurship in the future. The term entrepreneurship is usually used only in connection to the basic knowledge about running a business. In this project, we will work with both internal and external entrepreneurship. The project will also link financial literacy to media literacy, and the project will have a pioneering approach to working with young entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative field.During the project, approximately 20 joint student companies will be established. The networks between the young participants that are created during their work with the joint student companies can become starting points for new, creative and competitive cross-border companies in the future.

Achievements (EN):

RIBS trained young people in entrepreneurial and creative skills: By encouraging young people in the archipelago, developing and training their entrepreneurial skills and giving them a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship, you strengthen the region in a long-term perspective. You show them different ways to make a living. The RIBS project involved more than 1000 young people in the ages of 12-18 years in sparely populated archipelago areas in Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Åland. Thanks to different activities, the young people trained their creativity and language skills, developed business ideas, got opportunities to learn from each other in different regions and from experts in different fields. The methods were: 158 local workshops and courses involving 42 schools and youth centres, where business ideas were created and collected six international camps, where 30-40 young people worked in small cross-border groups, developing these ideas further 36 small-scale cross-border exchanges for students, teachers, and coaches the Get the Deal competition with real business challenges to tackle The main result of the project was students’ improved knowledge about entrepreneurship: they gained information about different phases of business development and worked on specific business cases to develop new and innovative strategies for future development of real existing companies. The project exceeded the number of participants in local entrepreneurship knowledge events, but fewer participated in youth exchange and in international workshops than planned, and the amount of joint student companies/business simulations according to programme description was not established. The regional Get the Deal concept was turned into an international competition that works as a model on how to establish cross-border cooperation in the field of entrepreneurship. The developed curriculum and course materials for development of students’ entrepreneurship skills are free of use. The cross-border value of RIBS was obvious for the participating youth by face-to-face communication and joint activities with students from different countries and different cultural backgrounds. Some side-effects are the increased self-confidence among the participants, the friendship and relations, the network and cross-border meetings between youth and adults. “RIBS has been a part of my choice of gymnasium program. Meeting young people with the same interest as me through RIBS has been very inspiring and has helped me to overcome some things that does not come natural to me. Like standing on the stage, presenting something for an audience. I know a lot more about entrepreneurship today, and I’ve learned a lot about my own capacity."

Expected Results (EN): R1.2. Number of established joint student companies

Expected Outputs (EN):

During the project, approximately 20 joint student companies will be established. The companies will consist of young people from at least two partners. The teams will work in a three-step process: 1) Business idea workshops are held locally, where the young participants will be able to call out ideas that they want to work with. All business ideas are compiled by the staff and presented by using media tools, and during international workshops. 2) Cross-border teams are formed on the basis of similar ideas that have been called out. The group decides how they want to enhance their business plan with media tools. The coach helps to find the necessary media and financial literacy skills for the project. 3) The teams will develop their business ideas mainly using ICT tools but also during cross-border exchanges, under supervision of teachers/leaders/coaches. Through courses, workshops, working with the joint companies and through exchange between partners, all participants (teachers, coaches, students and young people) will get improved knowledge about entrepreneurship. The main result of the project is that the young participants will get basic knowledge about entrepreneurship, and that they will have a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship in an international context
