The second project meeting of the EMPOWER project, which is co-financed by the Erasmus+ program, took place in Rome between October 9 and 12. At the meeting, the partners paid a lot of attention to tools for self-testing entrepreneurial competences. Thus, we tested various tools with which we can evaluate competencies and self-assess when it comes to the level of entrepreneurial engagement. The tools are also intended to identify and discover the causes and problems that an individual may have, and of course the opportunities offered by various entrepreneurial trainings.
For example, the participants tested the self-evaluation method, where three types of factors are used to assess the personal situation in the area of not fulfilling hidden desires. An example of factors affecting our engagement:
- structural factors: things that many of us share and cannot change individually, but can be adapted/changed over time through collective action;
- personal factors: things that are specific to our individual situation and cannot/or can change us to some extent;
- competence development factors: things that speak about our individual knowledge, abilities and attitudes and on which we definitely have a developmental influence.
The participants of the meeting, together with the moderator, tested the role of the participants, as well as in the role of the training provider.
