This was the first transnational partner meeting that did not take place online. During the meeting, we discussed the current and future activities of the project. So what have we really done so far and what will be the future activities?

So far, we have conducted a study in all countries involved in the project, and the study focused on the role model of students and an in-depth understanding of whether an entrepreneur can also become a role model. The final version of the research results is still being developed, you have to wait a little to see results of the reserch.

Regarding the next steps, we discussed the upcoming mobility in Valencia, Spain, where participants will be introduced to the program created during the project, during the implementation of the program, students will have the opportunity to meet entrepreneurs through animation and video production.

Based on the research carried out during the project, a training program was developed for students, in which students will create an animation or video about a local entrepreneur using a storytelling methodology.

During this training, the members of the association have the opportunity to get acquainted with this program and gain the necessary competencies to be able to implement the program in schools. During the training program, participants were introduced to different storytelling methods, how to make scripts and interview, and eventually participants had to create a video or animation to developing their video and animation skills.

The meetings has been fundamental to pushing the development of the IO2 Toolkit on Entrepreneurial Storytelling, checking the ongoing testing in European schools, organizing the C2/C3 International Training for Students on Entrepreneurial Storytelling and planning the Multiplier Events. 

The partnership presented the videos produced during the entrepreneurial storytelling labs in the experimentation of IO2 Toolkit in European schools. 

We tested format for the organization of an Entrepreneurial Storytelling Lab in Balvu vocational and general secondary school.

Created videos by students you can find in the project Youtube Chanel

If you also want to organize an Entrepreneurial Storytelling Lab in your school materials in a different language you can find it HERE.

In June, all partners and students participating in the project had the opportunity to meet at an international training.
We discussed the topics of entrepreneurship and presented the prepared materials. 

We spent our days getting to know Greece from the entrepreneurial side. We had the opportunity to record a few interviews which we then worked on during classes at the school. We split into small teams where everyone was responsible for part of the work. During the last activity, there was also time to summarize, evaluate and hand over certificates of participation.  

Multiplayer event "Entrepreneurship as Youth culture" was held in Balvu museum premises, participated 30 participants (6 trainers, 3 local authorities, 1 teacher, and 20 high school students).

What insights do you have after the event answers were: there is such kind of opportunity; to become an entrepreneur is not easy, there are many challenges, but it is very powerful to hear entrepreneurial stories, also think about yourself in the future as an entrepreneur; there are also in Europe entrepreneurs who are leaders; there is need for sharing stories.
