ENTERPRISE - Development of entrepreneurship, creativity and teamwork skills for students and teachers in VET

The Erasmus+ ENTERPRISE project (Key Action 1 - VET learner and staff mobility) aims to increase entrepreneurship of young people - VET students - as well as the ability of VET teachers to influence the development of these skills and competences - by offering opportunities to acquire experience abroad, improve intercultural communication and language skills, as well as strengthen the self-confidence and independence of students and pedagogical competences of teachers.

36 students and 2 teachers from VET schools/ colleges in Cyprus will have an opportunity to see and experience how young businesses are started and supported in the Netherlands. They will work on real case studies of local companies trying to understand their business models and suggest improvements. The participants will be hosted by Business Development Friesland - a business support organisation that has their own business incubator.

The project is coordinated by Learning Detours, and includes 2 VET colleges - Intercollege Nicosia and Intercollege Larnaca, and 2 VET schools - B Technical School of Nicosia and Technical School Makarios III.
