“Business as EUsual” was held in Interaktiva’s hometown Osijek. 42 participants gathered to share experience, engage in various projects and spread the EU spirit in their society. Together with project partners from Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Italy and Georgia, this project was implemented with a successful outcome.

​

Young people from different cultures and with distinct thinking were joined in this project to discuss one of the main problems in today’s society - youth unemployment.

 

he difference between all of them helped them to realize their similarities. With learning how to act in a business world, the youth is now able to spread the awareness about youth unemployment in their countries and give possible resolutions to it. Apart from learning about the variety of countries in the European Union, they were able to develop critical thinking and presentation skills while actively participating in ongoing discussions. Learning about the business world could help them with future employment and to become aware of their worth and abilities.

​

The first days of the project were filled with workshops useful to people with less experience in the world of business. How to write Europass CV or a cover letter are just two of many other topics discussed at the beginning of the youth exchange. As the project was ongoing, the topics about personal growth and competencies (Youthpass) were studied. During this project, they were able to gain knowledge from their new friends about their previous work and Erasmus + experience and challenges.

​

Participants also shared the beauty of their own countries through Intercultural evenings. They were also able to discover Osijek and experience Croatian culture.
