Marko Drpič (HE): “Agate came to me for entrepreneurial training as an illustrator and surprised me because she proposed an interesting entrepreneurial idea to include haiku design in her training program in addition to acquiring entrepreneurial competencies and knowledge. Agate designed and produced a series of haiku on the subject of truckers. She drew ideas for this from a collection of clichés and created an interesting series of haiku that combines design, print and poetry. This kind of entrepreneurial exchange was a great experience for me, beyond all expectations.” Weiterlesen …

Jānis Berzins (NE): “If you are still thinking about applying for Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, answer two questions – what is the worst that can happen and what is the best that can happen as a result of the exchange? This way you can quickly come to the conclusion that there is no reason not to try this program yourself and look into the global marketplace to bring your ideas to light with the help of an experienced entrepreneur.” Weiterlesen …

Sergejs (NE): “This program gave me the opportunity I would not get in another way. Six months that I spent in exchange was the biggest learning opportunity in my life to gain knowledge, skills, attitude regarding my entrepreneurial idea.
There were many things that I learnt during my exchange, but the biggest and most important for me was to learn how to create an educational program and deliver it to target groups. Other learnings were how to write and implement projects, how to lead people around you, how to be an entrepreneur, etc.
There was a never-ending learning process, which will not end by ending the exchange, but will go further with the next months, years by practicing knowledge, skills and attitudes that I got during my exchange.” Weiterlesen …

Martins Mackevics (NE): “If you have an opportunity to join the EYE program, I would highly recommend going for it. It’s a great way of getting out of your comfort zone while working in a new country and new environment. However, take your time to find a HE that’s right for you as it’s the most important relationship you’ll build during the program. You also need to be deeply passionate about the field where the company operates, in order to get the most out of the experience.” Weiterlesen …
