Supporting the youth in making the most of their talents to be an active driving force behind rebuilding Ukraine’s economy will be an important task in the coming years. Displacement caused by the russian aggression, even if temporary, means that the Ukrainian youth will require flexibility and adaptability to the changing conditions in the job market. Practical education experiences aimed at stimulating entrepreneurial thinking and offering expertise on financial instruments would play a key role in their future success in the job market. Some of the best training practices used in the EU countries should be implemented in Ukraine.
During the webinar we discussed:
- How did entrepreneurship education in Europe adapt to the recent challenges and opportunities: migration caused by the war, COVID-19, and rapid development of technologies
- Examples of successful educational experiences promoting entrepreneurial mindset
- Benefits for the private business from supporting an entrepreneurial ecosystem conducive to new business ideas and startups
- Best practices of collaboration between education providers, the private sector, and the government in promoting entrepreneurship education
- Potential to promote entrepreneurship and financial literacy among the Ukrainian youth
