BE YOU - "Building Entrepreneurial mindset in YOUth for a sustainable society" is a European project that aims to design, develop and test innovative educational tools for young people with fewer opportunities to raise awareness about climate change and social entrepreneurship.
GOALS
This project aims to raise awareness about the challenges of climate change and engage youth as active participants in the ecological transition.
By testing these innovative educational tools, young people have the opportunity to discover and learn about social entrepreneurship and climate realities. In addition, the trainers, social workers, will have the opportunity to fully exploit the potential of the tools available and subsequently developed in their daily work.
HOW?
This project will take form as a playful workshop (spread over 30 hours) to present the tools using board games around which the young people will be led to think and try to find solutions to these climate and societal challenges.
Needs will be precisely identified using questionnaires, submitted to the public concerned. These questionnaires will stimulate a better understanding, in relation to the knowledge of young people on the subject and to adapt the construction of the educational content to their level of education.
BE YOU has chosen to act at the level of individuals because we are convinced that individual actions can lead to a collective dynamic with a strong positive impact.
The training that we will create aims to raise awareness of these issues among young people with fewer opportunities and also offer them keys to concrete actions, particularly through social entrepreneurship.
In order to ensure a socially just and equitable transition, no one should be put aside on this subject. It is therefore essential to ensure the transmission and popularization of scientific knowledge to as many people as possible: this is one of the missions of BE YOU.
