Digital Entrepreneurship Mentoring Project Update – Curriculum Completed and Training for Mentors Begins!
🌍 Empowering youth with digital skills across Europe! 🌍
We’re excited to share a major milestone in our Erasmus+ Digital Entrepreneurship Mentoring (DEM) project! Since our launch in December 2023, we have been hard at work to create impactful resources that will empower disadvantaged youth with essential digital entrepreneurship skills. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the completion of Activity 2: the development of our Digital Entrepreneurship Mentor Trainer Curriculum!
📘 What’s been achieved so far?
The completion of the Trainer Curriculum for Digital Entrepreneurship Mentoring marks an important step forward in our project. This comprehensive curriculum has been carefully designed to equip mentors with the knowledge and tools they need to guide youth in their digital entrepreneurial journeys. By covering core topics in digital business, innovation, and mentorship skills, we’re setting a strong foundation for our mentors to inspire and support young people in a digital world.
🎓 Upcoming: Training for Mentors in Türkiye, Austria, and Spain
With our training materials finalized, we’re now preparing to launch training sessions for 20 dedicated mentors from Türkiye, Austria, and Spain. This international team of mentors will play a key role in the next phase of the DEM project.
Here’s how it will work:
- 20 mentors from our partner countries will undergo intensive training based on our newly created curriculum.
- These mentors, once fully trained, will go on to support and train 200 youth across Europe in digital entrepreneurship through a series of online sessions.
- Each mentor will use the curriculum and tools developed by the project to provide accessible, high-quality guidance to help youth turn their ideas into viable digital business ventures.
🌐 Collaboration with our project partners
This milestone has been possible thanks to the dedication of our project partners:
- SULTANBEYLİ BELEDİYESİ and Uluslararası Dijital Girişimcilik Derneği from Türkiye
- PLUS – Österreichisches Institut für internationale Forschung und Entwicklung from Austria
- Inercia Digital from Spain
Together, we’re committed to creating a meaningful impact by addressing the barriers disadvantaged youth face in accessing digital entrepreneurship resources and guidance.
🌱 Looking Ahead: Inspiring a Generation of Digital Entrepreneurs
The DEM project’s ultimate goal is to create lasting change by empowering young people to seize digital opportunities and build self-confidence in their abilities to innovate. With the training for mentors about to begin, we’re one step closer to building a more inclusive digital future for disadvantaged youth across Europe.
