Entrepreneurship education for seniors and adults with fewer opportunities

Description

Quite often, both salaries of the employed citizens, as well as the pensions for the retired seniors, where exist - are not fully sufficient for the high costs of life in those “older” ages when their youngsters have left households to pursue own career and life in separate households of their own. More and more seniors and adults (with fewer opportunities), thus, are looking forward to another way of regular money incoming into their households and are positive towards entrepreneurship opportunities, as they see self-employment as a valuable and appreciated option.Seniors and adults with fewer opportunities are beneficiaries of our activities and their needs are directly influencing our needs, needs of partner organisations. Thus, after doing a short survey among beneficiaries, all partners agreed that they need to improve their adult education NFE activities with quality Entrepreneurial Learning (EL) in line with the new era entrepreneurship concepts, in order to provide quality, attractive and effective activities for personal and professional development of seniors and adults with fewer opportunities in their communities. Motivation of partners in this project is to “equip” seniors and adults with fewer opportunities with set of skills needed to work on personal development in fields of entrepreneurial intelligence and creating (self-)employment opportunities proactively in today’s reality of employment uncertainty and the world of extinction of many known jobs and occupation now and even more in the future. That new needed capacity is entrepreneurial intelligence - competence that can be trained and developed by gaining different skills, knowledge, attitudes through quality adult non-formal education. This project builds up on our previous experience with the aspect of entrepreneurial intelligence, mind-set and creativity competences, as a new level of adult learning for self-employment and entrepreneurship.Project objectives:•Empower seniors and adults with fewer opportunities in entrepreneurial intelligence and mind-set development (including intrapersonal and interpersonal social-emotional and creativity competences), through development of inspiring, innovative and up-to-date handbook and e-learning courses.•Empower our adult educators and improve knowledge management of adult education institutions and organisations in theory and practice for building competences of adult educators in entrepreneurial mind-set and creativity in entrepreneurship development of citizens, through training course, innovative Guidebook with curriculum and e-learning course for adult educators’ training.•Exchange good practices and further develop quality strategic partnership among partners from 5 European countries with different realities in regards to citizens’ self-employment and entrepreneurship.We expect following direct participants / beneficiaries of our project: -12 staff / project managers and assistants; -18 teachers/trainers/researchers and technicians working on the intellectual outputs; -30 multipliers adult educators that will test the outputs with at least 120 citizens (with fewer opportunities) on local level-12 adult educators, participants at the LTTA, multipliers to additional 40 adult education providers empowered and encouraged to use our intellectual outputs in their work;-205 participants of the multiplier events.Project activities:A1 Project ManagementM1 Kick-off meetingO1 Handbook on Entrepreneurial learning, Intelligence and mind-set development for adultsM2 Second meetingO2 Guidebook with Curriculum: Empowering adult educators for Entrepreneurial learning, Intelligence and mind-set development among seniors and adults with fewer opportunitiesM3 Third meetingO3 E-learning course for educators: Entrepreneurial learning, Intelligence and mind-set development education for seniors and adults with fewer opportunitiesO4 E-learning course for beneficiaries: IntRApersonal aspect of Entrepreneurial mind-set developmentO5 E-learning course for beneficiaries: Leadership, Teamwork and other intERpersonal skills within Entrepreneurial mind-set developmentC1 LTTA Training of trainers E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 – Open conferences in RS, HR, SE, DE, NLM4 – Evaluation meetingProject will directly impact organisational capacities to work on providing quality entrepreneurship education to mainly seniors and adults with fewer opportunities. We expect the positive and long-lasting effects on partner organisations who will increase their capacity and competences for providing quality adult education activities for entrepreneurial learning based on innovative approach.With all our intellectual outputs, we will influence the change and improvement of existing entrepreneurship adult NFE methodologies and programmes, at first among partner organisations of the project, and later among partner of ours and their wider network of collaborators.
