Startup4Youth project has to widen Youth awareness about entrepreneurship. Often youth has very optimistic, stereotyped thoughts about business persons, as a lucky one- who are flying to business meetings to other countries and driving supercars. But they don’t really know, what businessman had to go through to get to this level. 

They have idea, that they want to become such person one day, but they don’t know, what to start with. This project has to show real entrepreneur stories not always lucky, but some of them really grate. To show, how to make first steps in idea to develop your own business. 

It is important to make safe first steps, otherwise loosing at the beginning of this way can cost too much- losing a dream, becoming entrepreneur one day. Checking out experience of local entrepreneurship case studies will definitely help them to see- that there are companies, which were started by young people. 

There are governmental organizations, which support young entrepreneurs- we want to introduce them to our project participants. 

We want to pay more attention of crucial role of internet and social media in nowadays entrepreneurship. Explain and show, how to use different web tools for getting right auditory for your business plan realizations. Encourage youngsters to prepare themselves for constant self development during all their life. Presenting motivational stories, which could be not possible without lifelong learning. 

Intercultural education is important topic, which is also connected with entrepreneurship. No doubts, that it can bring sustainable way of living together in multicultural societies through understanding and respecting different groups.
