This workshop aimed to explore diverse understandings of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial learning within the neighbouring countries to the EU (Eastern Partnership – EaP) and analyse it in the light of the EntreComp framework. The topic was addressed both from individual and organisational perspectives to discover and map the needs, methods and policies of youth work to support entrepreneurship competence development in young people. It was organised as part of the third Eastern Partnership Youth Forum, gathering nearly 300 young leaders, youth workers and youth policy-makers from the

EU and Eastern Partner Countries on 22-23 June, 2017, in Warsaw, Poland.

The workshop can be adapted to work with different groups, and provides a method to: y Introduce the Entrepreneurship Competence Framework as a tool to define entrepreneurship y Share good practices of supporting entrepreneurship competences development (policies and strategies) y Map concrete practices and policies that support the development of EntreComp y Analyse the main characteristics of identified “support systems”

y Match EntreComp and support systems in both Programme and EaP countries to see transferability/adaptability y Draw conclusions on how to improve support systems (public policies) The workshop follows a three-session approach:

Session 1 (120 min) y Getting to know you – introduction of trainers and participants y Introduction to the topic of the workshop – Exploring our understanding of entrepreneurship competences

GOALS

in youth work in Programme and EaP countries y Introducing the different competences within EntreComp y Card-based game – each group of three participants has a mixedup EntreComp card set (made by facilitators – each card printed with either competences, descriptors or hints) and is asked to match the cards y Show them the EntreComp framework to check the card game and show how it works. y Session summary question: What’s your opinion on this framework? Can you apply it to any reality? Why? Why not?

Session 2 (90 min) y Review the previous session 1 y Good-practice hunting exercise y Participants interview other participants about best practices in entrepreneurial learning 1. What do you do with young people to support them to take their future into their own hands?

2. What does your organisation/ What do you do to support the development of this competence?

3. What opportunities do young

people have in your country/region to develop it? y In small groups (three people) choose the three you can transfer into your practice y Map them against the competence cards – which parts of EntreComp do they support? y Final sum up: final round with speakers from each group sharing examples (15 min)

Session 3 (90 min) y Open-floor ideastorming: What are the opportunities for youth to develop these competences? y Support systems: Using your own experience, identify your support system y First, facilitators introduce quick examples to explain “support systems” y Participants are asked to use their own experience and examples to consider how the support systems match the entrepreneurial competences elements y In the same groups use the competence cards to create a mindmap connecting the examples and the competences with the central concept “youth entrepreneurship/

entrepreneurial learning” y In the same groups participants analyse the support systems and make recommendations both organisation-wide and system-wide. Guiding questions could be: y Which competences are met by these support systems? y Which are not and how can they be addressed? Any recommendations? y Presentation of recommendations/ policies (10 min)
