Idea pitch

We want to give young people the opportunity to develop their creativity, to learn financial literacy and to choose the right career path. The project will involve mentors from different fields, businesses, local communities and schools. Above all, we want to offer a free program that is very important to the community, the country, and we want to touch socially disadvantaged people. We want our project to be recognized across Europe.

Where will your project idea take place?

The program will take place in schools like an after school activity in the east Slovenia.

What is the specific societal challenge faced by this region?

The societal challenges were to support creativity in young people and to provide them with financial literacy and to present them with possible career paths through practice in different professions.

Who are you doing it for?

The project is aimed at young people by involving entrepreneurs, local communities in schools. Emphasis is placed on socially disadvantaged young people who otherwise lack the ability to create their creativity, financial literacy into the right career choices. Young people, lacking in creativity and financial literacy and making the difficult decision about their careers, have to make the decision as children at the age of 15.

How do you plan to get there?

The project will be implemented as an afternoon, after-school activity and will be voluntary, and fee free for all young people. In class activities include games and techniques for developing creativity, interdisciplinary meetings and discussions with professionals, tutors, experts… Field trips with proper guidance to specific locations of career opportunities are included.
Our team will be coordinating the development of presentation techniques of specific knowledge with involved professionals, lecturers and tutors with students, contact and maintain the cooperation of schools, professionals and lecturers, operating the web portal for this project and oversee the promotion of activities. For this purpose, we will create a web portal for presentation in communication of all involved. We

What are the expected results?

Results will be interdisciplinary as we include young people with different social segments. Results will be short and long-termed as the effect of developing creativity, financial literacy and choosing from richer pool of available careers take time. Short term results with students will also include more creative power for students to be used in other subjects of their education, more self-confidence in every area of life and enriched social engagement of different demographic groups in the region. Long term results will improve employment situation of young people, better social status and improved or developed social awareness of all participants in the project. That translates to all other segments and levels of democratic society.
We will make it easier for young people

How does your idea strengthen active citizenship at a local and community level?

Active citizenship will be strengthened by the invitation and cooperation of various companies that are already facing a shortage of employmend. We will strengthen democracy so that all professions can be targeted at both sexes.
The project involves: young people, their parents and friends, businesses, local communities, schools, individuals as mentors.

Why is this idea important to you?

Because it's extremely important to be happy and satisfied at work. Only in this way can you create greater added value. It is very important thet young peopels know all abaut financial literacy. And it is very important that to break the taboos on gender equality and the socially disadvantaged.
