Project Summary
Young Ethical Leaders has the primary goal to encourage effective self-employment for youngsters through the learning of personal branding techniques and ethical leadership. The partnership for Young Ethical Leaders includes 6 organizations, 2 secondary level schools, 1 small and medium enterprise, 2 associations and 1 counseling body from France, Italy, Russia, Greece, and Romania.
The principles that inspired us in this proposal are:
- Eurostat (2017) and other data from the labor market revealed that the percentage of the self-employed population is increasing
- approach to self-employment is often done without specific training and performed with trial-anderror, that may lead to failure and loss of motivation
- self-employed workers need today many competencies that are not taught during formal education (school, university) and often are briefly mentioned in the professional training (ie personal branding, social media management, ethical leadership, advertising, fiscal issues, marketing strategies, online communication)
- participating countries share a high level of Young NEET. Our proposition wants to propose effective strategies for Young self-employment in order to increase the youngsters' motivation in business ideas
- the increasing weight of social media communication led to the fragmentation of marketing strategies and methods of control for ethicality in communication is decreased, this leads to an increase of untruthful advertising or even exploitation of fake news for marketing purposes. Our partnership want to highlight the importance of Ethical Leadership in the proposition of services through internet and social media as a solid strategy for positioning in the medium-long term The primary goal will be achieved through a strategy including the following intellectual outputs translated into 6 languages (EN, IT, RO, TK, GR, RU):
