EIDE (Emotional Intelligence and Digital Entrepreneurship in VET) has been implemented between October 2018 and November 2020 by 7 partners (PL, BE, IT, ES, RO, UK)with different backgrounds (business/ICT field, VET providers and social partners/NGO) in order to address one of the most important nowadays priorities - entrepreneurial activity, which, due to its positive effects (fostering innovation, job creation, encouraging competitiveness) is vital for economic growth and economic prosperity.Through its activities and outputs, it proposed an innovative approach of two factors influencing entrepreneurial success: emotional intelligence and digital skills. The project’s main aim was to contribute to the common European efforts of fostering entrepreneurial skills in all fields of education and fill some specific gaps existing between formal education and training systems (especially VET) and the real world. EIDE was highly innovative and ‘pioneering’ by bringing together different and apparently unrelated ‘facets’ of entrepreneurial education. It addressed the needs of 3 main target-groups:*Needs of students within the VET systemStudents enrolled within the pre-university VET system, although the most likely to start a business after acquiring a qualification, seem to be neglected compared to those in theoretical high-schools when it comes to entrepreneurial education. Through EIDE we intended to support them and broaden their area of choices, and break the stereotype that VET education only produces workers. *Needs of VET Providers and VET TeachersEIDE created learning resources for students, teachers and schools so that emotional intelligence and digital entrepreneurship can be integrated within the existing curricula.*Needs of companiesThrough the learning resources created and activities undertaken, EIDE also supported the needs of companies for intrapreneurs – employees with a high degree of business awareness, social interaction skills and business digital skills making them able to work independently and effectively without receiving directions all the time.The objectives of the project, which we successfully reached were:To create, develop and test innovative materials and curriculum framework which allow VET providers equipping VET students with two crucial entrepreneurial success skills: emotional intelligence and digital entrepreneurship skills.*To rise awareness among VET providers and education authorities concerning the potential of digital skills and emotional intelligence skills and their role as business success factors.*To equip at least 30% of the students of the participating organizations with emotional intelligence and digital entrepreneurship skills by the end of the project.In order to reach the above-mentioned objectives, the following outputs have been created:*O 1- EIDE E-learning course for Students- Emotional Intelligence and Digital Entrepreneurship- 12 modules;*O 2 - EIDE Part I - Emotional Intelligence Training for Entrepreneurial Success Manual and Guidelines for VET Teachers and Trainers Part II - Digital Entrepreneurship Manual and Guidelines for VET Teachers and Trainers*O3 - Emotional Intelligence and Digital Entrepreneurship Curriculum Framework* O4 - EIDE Train the trainer online courseThose products were pilot tested and validated by students and teachers over the lifetime of the project. Measures for open access and sustainability were planned and implemented, to ensure the usability of the project beyond project’s lifetime. Those outputs become even more relevant and useful during the coronavirus pandemic when schooling moved online and VET schools were the least prepared for the switch, lacking online training resources, as their activity is usually more practical. Due to their digital, open, easy to use and compatible format (can be used on any devices, including smartphones), they were broadly used and highly appreciated by the beneficiaries.All the outputs are sustainable, transferrable (to other education fields/target groups), scalable and relevant, with open and unrestricted access. The project management and methodology has been tailor-made, involving development of personalized project management, quality assurance and dissemination plans, internal project documentation and monitoring/evaluation tools, with clearly defined preparation, implementation, dissemination and monitoring/evaluation phases. Due to the presence of partners with a high level of experience and multiplication potential, the project benefitted from increased visibility and impact at national and European level, being able to reach very relevant stakeholders such as EU Parliament members and large numbers of companies.EIDE had and will continue to have significant impact at the level of VET learners, VET professional and participating organizations by involving development of unique social and technical skills.
