Date: 8th -16th October 2017
Country/City: Slovenia, Rakičan
What was the main topic of the event?
Kiur: The main topic was entrepreneurship and developing the mindset of an
entrepreneur along with basic information that a fledgling entrepreneur needs.
Linda: The main topic was entrepreneurship. The main objective was to
encourage young people to find out their own business opportunities in rural
environment and give them basic knowledge about entrepreneurship.
What was the biggest learning moments on the
event for you?
Kiur: My moments were when we had to discuss our personal experiences in
giving gifts and then finding a problem in it. Then we had to make a business
idea out of it and I was surprised how many bright ideas can come from
something so small. Another moment was when we were divided into groups and had
to make a business pitch to an actual businessman. It was scary, but it taught
us to see things from the perspective of a potential investor.
Dorothy: My biggest learning moment was building up my own business idea with
my group. It was a very inspiring process on it’s own, but the reality sank in
when we had to present our idea to a local entrepreneur. He was critical of the
feasibility of our idea, to say the least. The whole ordeal taught me a lot
about the business world, and I learnt not to be so attached to my product that
I take constructive criticism on it as a personal offence.
Do you have any plans to continue active in
the field? If yes, what?
Lisette: The project was very interesting and I hope that one day I can truly
call myself an entrepreneur. For now, I am waiting on my big idea though!
Marko: I’m definitely thinking about starting my own business in the future
and I feel as though the project gave me valuable tools and ideas to build on.
So if I’m ever raking in millions, I’ll know which project to thank.
Would you recommend it to your friends? I yes,
why? If not, why not?
Aksel: Already did, because I learned a lot about entrepreneurship, which
was the theme of the project therefore I consider it successful if I obtained
new information and knowledge about it, the other participants are awesome, not
only is it a good practice in english, but all the stories, culture and views
from people who were foreigners in my point of view – it was indescribably
amazing of an experience.
Kirke: I definitely recommend it to my friends because besides learning a
lot and getting to see things from a different perspective, I got to meet
incredible people who were all able to leave a lasting impression on me. I will
never forget the people and the project.
