METHODOLOGY
This training activity was based on the Business Model Canvas, popular strategic management and entrepreneurial tool. The participants also used online tools to create Landing Pages to showcase their business ideas.
All working activities aimed at fostering intercultural learning and exchange between participants from diverse backgrounds. The methodology included simulation games, role play, plenary debates, interactive lectures, audio-visual presentations, small and large group discussions, self- assessment and more. There were field visits to Cypriot NGO and a meeting with the Cyprus Commissioner for Volunteering and NGO.
With their participation, the trainers and the youth workers were enabled to support their organisations to tackle social problems, to multiply the impact of youth work and to raise the visibility of their work.
