Increase the entrepreneurial spirit of young people by making the initiative to create economic activities a common alternative for their integration into the world of work
The YoPeVa Entrepreneur project aims at increasing the number of young people that takes on entrepreneurship and starting-up a business. Thus, making the initiative to create economic activities a normal alternative for the integration of young people into the world of work. This self-employment improves the employability of young people who can be incorporated as workers of these initiatives.
YoPeVa Entrepreneur can be seen as a spin-off from the almost finishing YoPeVa project. YoPeVa is based on a good practice from Fundesplai which has already been analysed and is going to be improved, scaled up and disseminated to use on a European level.

Going out with a bang – Final Multiplier Event in El Prat!
For this last Multiplier Event everyone was welcomed by Fundesplai in El Prat, Barcelona. The weather was great, the atmosphere was great and the amount of people attending this last event was absolutely amazing.
As it was the last Multiplier Event, we presented all our finished results. From a great explanation of the methodological guide to an interesting sneak peak into the courses and how to use them, to a tour across the YoPeVa Entrepreneur Web System, we showed you all!
Besides the results and presentations from the YoPeVa Entrepreneur consortium, we also invited Novaterra Foundation (or Fundación Novaterra), who provided us with an interesting showcase of their organisation and their goals of supporting people at risk of exclusion through employment.
Moreover, we organised small workshops, where we gave all attendees the opportunity to get some more information of valuable organisations, such as Fundesplai, Fundación Novaterra and VTools.
Overall, a great and valuable closing event of the YoPeVa Entrepreneur project.
Great third Multiplier Event in Suceava!
ACDC had the honours to host the third multiplier event for YoPeVa Entrepreneur, which was hosted in their hometown of Suceava.
During the Multiplier Event the results so far were presented, including the YoPeVa Entrepreneur program, system, and the training course.
The event also included some valuable discussions, which showed diverse perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of young entrepreneurship. Moreover, a panel discussion among regional stakeholders provided insights into the regional entrepreneurial landscape and its challenges and opportunities.
Second Multiplier Event has also been a success
In March 2023 Fundação da Juventude hosted our second mulitplier event, which was held in Lisbon.
During this event we launched the Entrepreneurship Course, where we showed the learning methodologies for the courses.
Moreover, we invited some guest speakers to share their experience with entrepreneurship among youngsters.
The framework for the educational guide is finished
The project has started with the creation of the educational guide, which consists of 5 basic modules and 6 conceptual modules. When the guide was developed, each partner country shared the guide with some local stakeholders and asked for feedback on the structure and ideas for content. The feedback received was very detailed and therefore useful to make an effective and good framework for the guide. Thanks to the feedback, a solid foundation for the training courses and materials is made.
