The BYE (Business Young Entrepreneurship) is a bilateral youth exchange between one group from Goodwill Association (Italy) and Romanian Youth Movement for Democracy (Romania). The project activities had taken place at the “Talent Garden” (TAG), a coworking location in Rende (Cosenza) from 18 to 24 January 2016. The exchange involved 30 young people (15 for each group) and 4 group leaders. The language used was English.

The project aimed at encouraging young people from 20 to 30 years old in order to facilitate the business culture and decrease, in a long-term perspective, the unemployment. Moreover, to stimulate the knowledge about the professional opportunities in Europe.
