Youth Entrepreneurship Program

Having in mind that real life necessitates appropriate skills, this good practice, through realistic enterprising activities prepares students to face a constantly changing world.
Project Objectives :
 Entrepreneurial Promotion
 Development of cooperation, creativity, critical thinking, concept of empathy
 Teaching students be flexible and active
The “Youth Entrepreneurship” program focuses on entrepreneurship and innovation and runs each school year by Psychico College.
The Program is addressed to elementary school students.
The students are invited to create enterprises that produce innovative products (sweets, smoothies, greeting cards etc.) to be sold at school. Students work in teams and decide on the production procedure, create a business plan and secure the financing. The final products are advertised and promoted for sale. Cooperation and exchanging ideas are very important at every step. Throughout the program students meet experts who advise them. Teams present the whole project and the company’s financial report. In the end all students are awarded. The profits from the sale of the products go to support our School’s Development Office, the Scholarship Program, help the underprivileged and for environmental activities.
Main stakeholders:
 Psychico College Private Elementary School (Athens)
 Parents, external advisers and experts
Beneficiaries of the Practice are the students of 5th or 6th grade of Psychico College Private Elementary School
