| Sumár projektu: | The European Union is facing a worsening youth employment crisis - youth unemployment rates are generally much higher, even double or more than double, than unemployment rates for all ages [1]. In November 2017, 3,698 million young persons (under 25) were unemployed in the EU28, of whom 2,624 million were in the euro area. The average youth unemployment rate in EU-28 is 18,7%, and in some countries this rate is even close to 50% (GR 47,3%, IT 37,8%, SK 22,2% in 2016). As is presented in the publication "Labour market in Slovakia" [3], the rate of youth (15-24 years) unemployment in Slovakia is the sixth highest among EU countries. Moreover, Slovakia is third in order of proportion of long-term youth unemployment - 57,2%. High youth unemployment rates do reflect the difficulties faced by young people in finding jobs. One of the way how to reduce the high amount of unemployed young people is to help them start own business. Youth entrepreneurship is vital for creating employment and sustainable growth and has become a priority in the EU policy agenda as a tool to combat unemployment and social exclusion as well as stimulating innovation among young people. So, it is vital to inspire and motivate young people to start own bussines, assist them gain strong entrepreneurship skills and competences and ensure that the next generation of professionals have strong knowledge and entrepreneurship spirit. The main objective of Biz4Fun is to increase the competitiveness of young, mostly unexperienced people, on the job market in partners‘ countries. Young people usually have many various ideas, but it is very difficult to realize those projects due to lack of courage, funds or capacities...
