Euro-Mediterranean Training School
The "Barcelona Declaration" which was adopted at the Euro-Mediterranean Conference in 1995 opened a new phase in the bilateral strategic relations between the Countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
At the very basis of a training school such as the Euro-Mediterranean Training School lies the idea that investing in education is the first condition for establishing long-lasting relationships in the cultural, as well as the political and economic fields. Based upon this assumption, different forms of business and commercial partnerships can arise, in accordance with the short and medium range objectives of both private and public institutions involved.
That's why the Euro-Mediterranean Training School has been established in collaboration with the Chambers of Commerce of Milan, Naples and Venice, as well as the Fondazione per la Sussidiarietà.
The goal of the project is to foster the development of young dynamic leadership oriented toward promoting relationships with Italy and in particular with its academic institutions as well as the businesses in the most advanced industrial clusters.
The second Edition of the Euro-Mediterranean Training School, Introduction to Entrepreneurship 2007 course, took place from September 17 to October 12, 2007 at VIU on San Servolo Island.
By the end of the course the participants had increased their knowledge as regards:
the business, political and legal framework in which South-European and North-African countries trade and conduct business;
the areas of collaboration for small and medium-size enterprises on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea;
the Italian Business System and Industrial Clusters;
financial tools supporting entrepreneurial projects within the MEDA Region;
the ability to analyze and write a business plan;
the importance of activities such as Tourism and Logistics;
intercultural issues.
