The Educators Guide with Pedagogic Methods to Deliver the Course is developed to serve as a comprehensive resource for youth educators and trainers who aim to deliver effective training on entrepreneurship, innovation, and patenting. This guide supports the development of educational hubs that empower youth, particularly migrants, to build entrepreneurial competencies and protect their innovative ideas through patenting.
This guidebook is a key output of the PatENT Project, which aims to teach young migrants about the opportunities around them and how to utilise these opportunities effectively. The project seeks to raise awareness among migrants about the potential of entrepreneurship, inspiring and motivating them to consider starting their own businesses. It also seeks to raise this awareness among youth educators and society – that migrants are important for entrepreneurship and innovation. By doing so, the project is expected to make a lasting impact not only on the individuals who participate but also on the broader community.
The PatENT Project views entrepreneurship as a powerful tool not only for improving employability but also for promoting the social inclusion of migrants into their new communities. A core focus of the project is developing educational approaches to entrepreneurship, particularly around patenting and intellectual property rights. Patent entrepreneurship is seen as an area of immense potential for young migrants, and this guide will offer the pedagogic tools and non-formal learning methodologies needed to address the specific needs and constraints faced by this target group.
In addition, this guidebook will contribute to the creation of open and innovative educational materials in the field of youth work. The guide is part of a strategic partnership aimed at developing resources that can be used by other organisations and stakeholders to promote entrepreneurship and innovation protection at local, national, and international levels.
By offering a combination of theoretical insights and practical, hands-on pedagogic methods, the guidebook helps educators deliver sessions that are engaging, impactful, and designed to support both the employability and social integration of young migrants. It is designed for use in a wide range of educational settings, from small, informal groups to more structured training programs within organisations.
