"<< Background >>The digital age is an age in which information becomes widespread thanks to technology, can be shared rapidly, and rapidly develops in all areas of society. Along with digitalization, information intensely ensures its sustainability. The effects of technology on our lives and the practical use of functionality have created new business areas for people. One of them is ""Digital Entrepreneurship and E-Commerce"". Digital Entrepreneurship; It is the realization of a digital business model in which the emphasis is placed on new relationships between customers and stakeholders by changing the traditional entrepreneurship models of the opportunities we encounter with technology. With digital entrepreneurship, a new business channel has been created where companies and companies that use the widespread integrated marketing methods in the field of digital marketing, which is known as the electronic transformation of commerce, save time and can sell their products at any time without increasing customer potential. In line with these data, our project has emerged with the aim of supporting young entrepreneurship and directing tradesmen to e-commerce. In the EU, many studies have been carried out in recent years aiming to encourage entrepreneurship and creativity as a means of increasing economic and social development, and to include disadvantaged young people, especially the unemployed, into active business life. We aim to increase the employability of the youth of our country through the trainings, platforms and supporting activities provided and to improve their professional skills. With our project, we anticipate both to create a tradesmen report in Turkey and to show a new way to young tradesmen who are experiencing difficulties especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic and to encourage new graduate entrepreneur candidates to implement their business ideas.Needs Addressed:Youth unemployment in our countryInability of young people to receive financial and educational support in realizing their entrepreneurship ideasYoung tradesmen not having enough experienceOur society is unconscious about e-commerceFailure to provide students with adequate guidance on entrepreneurship at universitiesEntrepreneur candidates are not encouraged on international platformsThe limitation of private channels where business owners can sellFailure to adapt good practices and policies abroad correctly<< Objectives >>Our goals:- To support them in keeping up with the changing world conditions and the developing technology process,- Encouraging young people to receive education in order to improve themselves,- To bring innovative and entrepreneur new tradesmen and craftsmen to our city,- To increase employment with strong tradesmen and craftsmen,- To provide entrepreneur candidates with the opportunity to receive modern and innovative education,Bringing the most developed regions in the world in terms of entrepreneurship ecosystem and good practices implemented to young people.- To adapt good practices to young people living in Turkey, Kosovo, Germany and Macedonia and to prepare concrete suggestions for their initiatives in their countries.-To improve the exchange of knowledge and skills by monitoring the current situation and development of the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Europe and making comparative analyzes.- To enable young people to acquire new social and linguistic skills- To guide young people to entrepreneurship and to inform them about the supports they can receive.- To enable young tradesmen to open up to the world thanks to the e-commerce platform created-To develop international collaborations- To be able to show new graduates and unemployed young people different business lines-To analyze the current situation of the tradesmen through digitalization, to seek solutions to their problems, to determine their needs, to improve their skills and abilities, to ensure that they can compete in domestic and foreign markets.- Strengthening intercultural dialogue-Giving young people with limited opportunities equal opportunities-To implement sustainable business ideas together with our partners- Encouraging young people to Erasmus + projects- Developing a productive mindset against environmental problems by raising awareness in young people thanks to the activities we have planned,- Increasing project development and innovation capabilities,- Ensuring that young people are involved in the decision-making mechanism and increase their self-confidence,<< Implementation >>Transnational Project MeetingsEach of the meetings will be attended by 2 participants from all partners and will last for 2 days.M1 Kick-off Meeting-Turkey-ESDERA presentation of the foreseen activities of our project will be made.
