Every team had 8 minutes to present their business idea and then they answered the questions that the “investors” had.
All the teams did a really great job and they payed attention to details, that made the competition even more keen, so finally, all the teams got prizes.
The judge decided to invest in each of the business ideas, so the participants received a lot of coins made from chocolate, but also a white envelope. They were asked to open it at a certain moment, all together. They enthusiastically found a fridge magnet with the picture of the whole group on it.

5. [TO]xi! - Our domain of activity is human transportation which consists in the movement of people from one location to another.
[To]xi! Sharing Torino
- Summary:
Seven young entrepreneurs had one great idea: [To]xi !
When we chose the idea of our business we taught about the needs of the people who live in Torino, Italy.
Torino is a big city with a lot of students and many tourists, and the transportation here became a problem because the regular taxi companies have high prices and the public transportation is not that well-organized (you have to wait long time for the buses to arrive) and is not safe at night. So, we came with a solution.
[To]xi is not a regular taxi company, it’ s a way of sharing, saving money and also travel in the best conditions. The service can be used through a mobile application and a web page. You just have to sign up, tell us where you are, where you want to go, how much are you willing to wait for other people to share a cab with. Torino is divided in 10 areas and in each area you will find 3 [To]xi stations.

Some of our activities through non-formal education
Enegizers: The aim of these activities
is to facilitate the getting-to-know-each other, to energize them and also to
facilitate the switch between the activities.
Usually these activities are group
games that take up to 15 minutes.
Bingo
Participants
received papers and pens and were given 20 minutes to go to other participants
and ask questions about themselves. Some questions regarded their hobbies,
favourite types of food, favourite actors, but the participants had no limits
regarding the questions and they turned out to be very creative. In this way,
they had to fill in each empty square drawn on the paper with the name of the
participant and the answer. Afterwards, the facilitator chose randomly some of
the names of the participants. When the youngsters heard that name, each person
that had information about him/her, shared it with the others. In this way, all
the participants found out new things about the others. When the participants
had a line or bingo, they received a prize.
Chair chain
Method:
teambuilding activity
Description:
Participants were splitted in 2 teams. They put the chairs in a circle and each
of them stood behind a chair. They leaned a little bit the chairs in front of
them and when the facilitator gave them the signal, they had to move to the chair
in their right and also, by using only one hand, they had to catch the chair
and not let it touch the ground or fall. Every team thought about a strategy,
identified a leader and found its own rhythm in order to succeed.
Some of the main activities
City rally
Aim: to facilitate teamwork
Method: teamwork activity
Description: Participants were splitted in mixed teams; each team received a list with several tasks, such as finding a European flag, making interviews with youngsters from the community about the “Erasmus+” Programme, helping some old people to carry the bags from the supermarket to their homes. They also had to gather some proofs, like taking photos or making videos, in order to show to the other participants that they have successfully completed the tasks. While doing this activity, all the participants had the chance to discover the local community and to interact with the citizens.
"Erasmus+" and
Youthpass presentation
Aim: to
present the new “Erasmus+” Programme and discussing on new opportunities
Method:
interactive presentation, Q&A
Description:
Due to the introduction of the new “Erasmus+” Programme, we considered a good
opportunity to discuss on the differences between the actual and the former
programme, “Youth in action”. We also had a debate about the new features of
the “Erasmus+” Programme and discovered
together the new opportunities of
merging with other cultures. We also discussed about the Youthpass certificate;
what it means, what skills and competencies it validates and what are the
benefits of having such a certificate.
Name, motto, logo
Aim: to establish the first elements of identity of the company
Method: teamwork and sensorial presentation
Description: In the teams already formed, participants were given all the necessary materials to create these three elements of identity for their start-ups. The facilitator gave them the basic information and adviced them when in need. When they had to present their work to the other teams, the participants were asked to do a sensorial presentation. They had to present using all the senses beside talking, so the other participants can guess what are the name and the logo of the company.
Start your own company
Aim: to
decide upon the domain of each company
Method:
teamwork, debate
Description:
Participants were splitted in teams of 6 or 7 people. They were explained how
important was to discuss about the domain of the companies; all the members
should agree on the domain and it would be better to choose something they
would trully love to do in their real life also. In order to accomplish this
goal, the participants discussed for 15 minutes about the qualities and the
passions each member of the team has, so they can use these advantages when
choosing the domain and when working on the business plan, later on. They were
also given some informations and questions, in order to guide them during the
process.
Advertise your company
Aim: to
identify new ideas and methods of advertising a product or service
Method:
teamwork, brainstorming
Description:
The participants had to brainstorm and to come up with creative ideas to
advertise their companies. They discussed and then they decided what each of
them should do, based on the professional qualities of each member of the team.
Firstly, the participants created a Facebook page (Happy 3 Houses, Phonection+, Re-Cool It, Think & Live Different, To XI) of the company and did all the
necessary settings. Then, each team created an eye-catching video in order to
present the company to the others. Each team had its strategy and did the video (Happy 3 Houses, Phonection+, Re-Cool It, Think & Live Different, To XI) using different tools. Afterwards, the participants posted the videos on their
Facebook pages.
Intercultural Nights
We were anxious from the beggining to
get to know more about each participating country and its culture, so the
cultural nights that every country organized offered us the best opportunity to
feed our curiosity. During the whole week, the participants of each country prepared
the program of these nights as they wished; this usually included a
presentation of the country, a presentation of customs and traditions,
traditional music and dances, traditional clothes, food and drinks. We enjoyed
every difference and similitude that we discovered and we were all very
enthusiastic to find out more during the whole period of the project.
Business plan
presentation
After
doing a lot of work for their companies, but enjoying at the same time the
whole process, the participants had an entire day to prepare the business
plans. Firstly, the facilitators gave them information and hints about how to
do a good business plan. The participants put the pieces of the puzzle all
together (elements of identity, advertising plan, the marketing and budget
planning parts and all the other necessary elements). They read it carefully
and then, respecting the given deadline, they sent the business plans to us, on
mail. This was the first thing to do in order to enter the competition called
Lions Arena.
The
next day, we set up the activity room in such a way that resembles to an arena,
to fit in with the whole atmosphere created. There was also prepared the
official table for three investors (the 2 facilitators and the head of the
hosting organization) who, based on the presentation of each team and the
business plans, decided whether to invest or not in that company. Every team
had 8 minutes to present their business idea and then they answered the
questions that the “investors” had.
All the
teams did a really great job and they payed attention to details, that made the
competition even more keen, so finally, all the teams got prizes. The judge
decided to invest in each of the business ideas, so the participants received a
lot of coins made from chocolate, but also a white envelope. They were asked to
open it at a certain moment, all together. They enthusiastically found a fridge magnet with the picture of the
whole group on it. J
