Economic and debt crises hit Europe hard!

Biggest crises after the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unemployment rates rose, especially youth

unemployment which had a lot of socio-economic and political consequences

Rise of inflation and prices Less employed -> less tax payers -> less taxes in

countries budget -> lower GDP’s and money for social benefits of unemployed

Lowered levels of investments because of risk and bigger interest rates

More and more people at risk of social inclusion or poverty which leads to marginalization and social exclusion of unemployed

The list goes on and on…Creative Entrepreneurship

Youth unemployment rates are generally much higher, even double or more than double, than unemployment rates for all ages. Youth unemployment rate in EU-28 is 20.7%. Lowest: Germany (7.1 %) and Denmark (10.7%) Highest: Greece (50.6 %), Spain (49.2 %) and Croatia (43.5%)

24,7% of population is at risk of social exclusion and poverty! (Eurostat 2013,latest statistic). In Bulgaria, this number is highest in EU with 40,1%; in Macedonia is 48,1%!

Call for united and cooperative approach

To address the crises and its political, social and economic consequences everywhere, European Union was calling for united approach, cooperation and coordination between all countries in order to prevent future crises and ensure smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

As a consequence of this call, numerous strategies, policies, measures, funds and programmes emerged that got very high priority on the EU political and economic agenda.

Europe 2020“To achieve a sustainable future, we must already look beyond the short term. Europe needs to get back on track. Then it must stay on track. That is the purpose of Europe 2020. It's about more jobs and better lives. It shows how Europe has the capability to deliver smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, to find the path to create new jobs and to offer a sense of direction to our societies.”

- José Manuel BARROSO, Europe 2020 preface

The Europe 2020 strategy is about delivering growth that is: smart, through more effective investments in education, research and innovation; sustainable, thanks to a decisive move towards a low-carbon economy; and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on job creation and poverty reduction.

Five headline targets have been agreed for the EU to achieve by the end of 2020. These cover 1) employment; 2) research and development; 3) climate/energy; 4) education; 5) social inclusion and poverty reduction. To ensure that the Europe 2020 strategy delivers, a strong and effective system of economic governance has been set up to coordinate policy actions between the EU and national levels.

The Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan

It is a blueprint for action to unleash Europe's entrepreneurial potential, remove existing obstacles and revolutionize the culture of entrepreneurship in the EU. It aims to ease the creation of new businesses and to create a much more supportive environment for existing entrepreneurs to thrive and grow.

The Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan identifies three areas for immediate intervention: entrepreneurial education and training to support growth

and business creation; removing existing administrative barriers and supporting

entrepreneurs in crucial phases of the business lifecycle; reigniting the culture of entrepreneurship in Europe and

nurturing the new generation of entrepreneurs.Creative Entrepreneurship

Roger Hart’s Ladder of young people’s participation

1) Manipulation

Adults use young people to strengthen a cause and pretend that the cause is young person led.

2) Decoration

Young people are used to strengthen a cause, although adults do not pretend that the cause is young person led.

3) Tokenism

Young people appear to be given a voice, but in fact have little or no choice about what they do or how they participate.

4) Assigned, but informed

Young people are given a specific role and informed about how and why they are being involved. Creative Entrepreneurship

Roger Hart’s Ladder of young people’s participation

5) Consulted and informed

Young people are consulted on adult initiated projects. The young people are informed about how their input will be used and the outcomes of the decisions made by adults.

6) Adult led, decisions are shared with young people

Adults initiate projects but the decision-making is shared with young people.

7) Young person led and directed

Young people initiate and direct a project. Adult role is supportive as motivator/mentor.

8) Young person led, shared decisions with adults

Young people initiate projects and decision-making is shared between young people and adults. These projects empower young people while at the same time enable them to access and learn from the life experience and expertise of adults.
