Project Objectives

The Project Become Busy 2.0 is a follow-up to the Become Busy project (2017-2-EL02-KA205-003332) implemented by the Social Innovation and Cohesion Institute, it is based on its results and products to move one step forward and give a meaningful basis to youth who are interested in entrepreneurship, providing them with more tools to achieve their goal. What we have realized is that there are many ideas and many young people who also want to make them real. COVID19 and mobility restrictions have had an asymmetric impact on EU labor markets, with the most negative impacts focusing on those already vulnerable before the outbreak, such as young people. The European Commission has proposed a major recovery plan for Europe based on harnessing the full potential of the EU budget. pandemic and strengthen the EU single market. However, few go ahead to production and commercialisation few youth take the risk, defy bad omen and negativity and do not abandon their ideas. Those who move forward need support from their first steps in order to achieve their goals and not give up. The BB 2.0 project seeks to contribute and support the initial stage of maturing an innovative idea by creating and using a virtual pre incubator, a MOOC (Masive Opne Online Course) and a digital library of Open Educational Resources on our topic, and present the pre – incubation strategy to youth. What we want to achieve with the project activities is to promote maturing and integrating innovation into youths’ business ideas, to be supported through a preincubator strategy that includes education, mentoring, consulting, networking and ICT products, and will provide them with the knowledge, competences and confidence needed to grow their innovative idea into a viable business.
