Description
The Czech Municipality Bruntál (as the founder of primary schools) and the Icelandic organisation NORTH Consulting have jointly prepared a project focusing on youth and entrepreneurship. Its main goal is to enhance the capacity of the municipality’s experts to integrate new pedagogical and learning activities within local primary schools aimed at fostering creativity, improving entrepreneurial competences, and support non-formal learning of youth interested in starting their own enterprises.
Both Czech and Icelandic experts will participate in a mutual short-term study visit that will improve their knowledge, skills and competences in the field of creative learning. After the return, they will be able to share their experience with teachers in local schools and support them in innovation and modernization of their teaching methods.
The project will also help strengthen bilateral relations between partners as well as raise awareness of the EEA Grants in both partner countries. We believe this project will be followed by other activities and/or projects in the future.
Summary of project results
Summary of bilateral results
NORTH Consulting ehf was founded in 2009 as a non-profit consultancy for the cultural, innovation/entrepreneurship, research, and educational sectors. Skills development and competence building is very much at the heart of their work. Education and entrepreneurship experts from NORTH Consulting participated in the project. Project partner was much more experienced. Our partnership was much better than we expected. The partnership had wider effects: Several organizations have approached us with an interest in providing them more information about the project. One primary school are interested in Erasmus+ project with Iceland so we connected them through our partner with another school in Iceland. One NGO from Bruntál is going to write a project under Erasmus+ with our Icelandic partner and another organization from Malta. We are going to continue in bilateral collaboration and we are looking for funding opportunities.
