· QMED: “Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs”
QMED
chose this example because it is linked to our topic. It corresponds to
entrepreneurial behavior. It is not compulsory to make a business for
participating to this programme. Everybody can subscribe as far as they are major.
Any idea, any area is good and welcomed. It is like an online tool. An
entrepreneur can obtain funding, foreign exchange or council.
3 ways to be involved in this project:
ü
Experimented
entrepreneurs (more than 3 years experience)
ü Start-up (less than 3 years experience)
ü To have a business idea
The
programme addresses to European countries. There are national contact points in
each country (ex: in France 6 points of contacts with 2 points in Paris). The
local agencies can provide free council.
QMED is involved in this programme as
local agency for more than 2 years.
The deadline of the call is at the end
of next year.

ü Workplacement: each year they manage almost 500 work placements every
year. It’s the faster way to have contact with the labour market.

·
Presentation of each participant
The round table began with the first topic. Then, naturally, during the
discussion, all the other topics were treated. Here are the main ideas that
came out.
ü
State of art about entrepreneurship in schools/universities
Spain:
difficulties for Spanish people to open a business in the country. Because of
the crisis, young people usually go abroad.
Poland: not really interested by entrepreneurship. Young people are more
focused on getting a job after the University. For the young that go to
technical school, they are more used to be on their own. The state helps to
develop a company, to establish a business idea but not a store.
France: entrepreneurship is painful, that why the name of “Mutinerie”
was chosen. Entrepreneurship is one of the solutions for reduce the
unemployment says Monique. But there is difficulty with mentality trend.
ü
Question: is anyone can be an
entrepreneur?
For the Netherlands, Cristina says that it is needed to develop an
entrepreneurial attitude. Need to be proactive! But it’s a lot a work with
communication.
In Spain, there is not this mentality. For example, Jesus says it’s not
his dream to open a business.
For France, Monique talks about her proper experience with
entrepreneurship. She didn’t want opening a company so she decided opening an
association.
In Poland, some Polish people that had experience in foreign country
come back to Poland with knowledge and willing of entrepreneurship.
Cristina thinks that it is important to teach to new entrepreneur how to
be an entrepreneur. Xavier rather thinks that to teach an environment is not
the same and it is better. All agree that teaching to trust in our self is very
important. Maybe the word “to teach” is not the more relevant one. There are a
formal method and an informal method. In fact, to teach entrepreneurship is
also different from teaching to be an entrepreneur.
ü
Importance of the risks for people who wants to start a business
Experience from the teacher, Françoise TRENTESAUX: build a project is
not taught at schools. And trust should be taught.
ü
How is assess the performance?
The performance means the results of the training organized by
educational institutions. Xavier asks what the most efficient methodology is.
There is no specific answer and all recognize that the methodology should
change and evolve. Thus, teacher’s mentality should change and it is the more
difficult. They should adapt their methodology to different students and be
more flexible. Qualitative criteria may be taken into account. A new
methodology may benefit to more young people and may especially motivate more
people. It is important not to lose his curiosity (cf. Fabien testimony). And to note that it is
different to be a teacher and to be a coaching.
ü
Testimony from Xavier Jaquemet
à Movie: “Being and
Becoming” programmed in Paris
à Unmonastery: venue in
Italy, in Matera where social innovators are welcomed: 400€ a month. There is a
website. It’s really innovative.
à Startup Chile: develop
the start-up in Chile
àBernard Ferte
There
are a lot of incubators and “pepinières” (in the last one which you pay
anything). It’s a collaborative mentoring.
ü
A community
Polish
people like the fact that la Mutinerie proposes the location, the materials but
also a “community”. This is a good support. Independent workers and
entrepreneurs are talking between them about subjects. People have new ideas
and they can share their critics, opinions.
CONCLUSION
à How we could innovate
the community of today? Everyone has different backgrounds, experiences. Need
to be connected with other co working spaces in the world.
à Work on performances.
Need to be clear with indicators.
à To create curriculum
for entrepreneurs networking
