Objective :

"The primary objective of the “EUpreneurship: Empowering Social Economy and Inclusive Entrepreneurship with EU Expertis”e project is to increase awareness and understanding of social economy and inclusive entrepreneurship concepts, drawing from the extensive expertise of the European Union (EU). The current project is built upon the “An economy that works for people'' priorities for 2019-24 of EU. Furthermore, although the EU priorities for 2024-2029 are planned to be adopted in June 2024, the primary objectives of the proposed project are also in alignment with the priority directions of the EU for 2024-2029, specifically security, resilience, and engagement. The project aims to analyze the expertise of the EU in social economy and inclusive entrepreneurship, focusing on key initiatives such as the Expert Group on Social Economy and Social Enterprises, the European Social Economy Action Plan, the European Pillar of Social Rights, Together for Rights: the Strategy for Persons with Disabilities, inclusive entrepreneurship policy, the European Commission’s Social Business Initiative (SBI) and follow-up activities, the EU Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI), Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, and the NextGenerationEU initiatives. Based on this analysis, the project aims to develop elective courses for the students of Baku Higher Oil School (BANM). To be specific, the project aims to develop and deliver two complementary courses at Baku Higher Oil School (BHOS) based on EU expertise. The first course, titled ""EU Perspective on Social Economy and Sustainable Development,"" will be offered during the fall semester. The second course, titled ""EU Approach to Social and Inclusive Entrepreneurship for Social Impact,"" will be delivered during the spring semester. Both courses will be fully based on the extensive knowledge and experience of the EU in these areas. As an educational approach project based learning will be practiced."
