Executive Summary The project “Entrepreneurship is the Key to Success” (EKS) aims to develop relevant and high-quality skills and support young adults in acquiring entrepreneurial competencies to build entrepreneurial mind-set with a special focus on developing skills needed for future entrepreneurs. The final product of the project will be a software game that can reproduce virtual, plausible, or hypothetical situations in which players can use and improve their entrepreneurial skills. The game’s environment will ensure that the player does not feel pressured or judged but will rather feel free to act and put into practice his / her abilities. The main purpose of this report is to provide a collective picture of NEETs’ status in each of the participating countries by combining the information as it was provided by each partner in each “National Report”. In order to standardise the presentation of the information collected, a uniform template was prepared for the national reports and that it was adhered to. The information pertaining to each partner country for each sub-section of the template was presented accordingly following the standardised format. It should be noted that the information presented in each country section has been taken from the national reports prepared by the project partners. For the purposes of each national report, each responsible project partner was asked to conduct both desk-based research and field-based research based on a common report structure and questionnaire guide that were developed by CSI. The desk-based research involved reviews of national reports, national and international research reports, policy documents, and official statistical information, while field-based research involved the collection and analysis of data collected through online surveys completed by youth not in employment, education or training (NEETs) in each of the partner countries. The purpose of the questionnaires was to collect information and gain knowledge and awareness on the existing situation and understand the needs and challenges faced by the target group. The questionnaires were structured and included both close-ended and open-ended questions. The questions focused on identifying possible gaps in skills, training needs, challenges, and support required by NEETs so as to enhance their entrepreneurial skills and advance their employability.

    Master Thesis Political Science: International Relations The EU and its Neighbours: Politics, Policies, Challenges and Opportunities The EU and Conflict Resolution in Northern Ireland and Cyprus Eoin Watts 11695714 Supervisor: Dr. Dimitris Bouris Seconder Reader: Dr. Farid Boussaid Word Count: 24, 204 22nd June 2018 i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Dimitris Bouris for guiding, encouraging and reassuring me throughout this process. Secondly, I wish to extend my gratitude to Dr. Farid Boussaid for agreeing to be my second reader. Also I extend my warmest thanks to all my interviewees. I will always appreciate the time and effort you offered me over the last few months. Without my family and friends this would not have been possible. Your constant unwavering support is greatly appreciated. Finally, to Jeske for advising and believing in me from the beginning. ii Abstract The primary objective of this thesis is to examine the impact that that the European Union, through the integration and accession process, has on identity in conflicts. The case studies of Northern Ireland and Cyprus are utilised as they have both experienced, and still experience, this subtle form of EU conflict resolution. In order to achieve this, this thesis incorporates two theoretical positions. Diez et al.’s (2008) conflict transformation theory is used to establish the impact that the EU has had on identity in the two conflicts. It is found that in both cases, EU integration and accession has not been the catalyst for the emergence of a shared identity which transcends the traditional conflicting identities. However, this thesis does demonstrate that EU integration has been more effective at encouraging a rapprochement between Nationalists/Catholics and Unionists/Protestants in Northern Ireland, than between Greek and Turkish Cypriots, in Cyprus.

More recently both turtle species have been under pressure again, mainly from habitat loss and disturbance as well as from fishing bycatch. After 40 years of implementing conservation measures in Cyprus, steady and recently more rapid improvements have been seen in turtle populations. Time was the key to seeing results, keeping in mind that turtles need 20-30 years to mature, and more in the case of Green Turtles. Knowledge gained through these efforts has resulted in the designation of protected areas, the identification of harmful activities, and the targeted implementation of effective conservation measures. Joint action between dedicated NGOs, the Government, local authorities, supported by volunteers, ensures the continuation of conservation efforts and the spread of public awareness.

The study focused on the following: use of existing vocational guidance services (including services available through basic general education, the Youth Guidance Scheme, seccndary education, vocational training, and higher education and thrcugh Denmark's Public Employment Service and Unemployment Insurance Funds) by Denmark's youth; potential problem areas in existing vocational guidance services; and strategies for remedying those problems. It was discovered that young Danes have good access to and make substantial use of the various guidance schemes existing in and around Denmark's education and labor market services systems. The special vocational guidance needs of chronically unemployed youths and youths who either drop out of school or change course in Denmark's education system were examined in depth, and recommendations for improving the following aspects of vocational guidance services available to Denmark's youth were formulated: organization, methods, content, staff training, resources, and internationalization.

  • Smoke-Free-School-Hours at Vocational Education and Training
    Heinze et al. BMC Public Health (2019) 19:813 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-7188-0 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Smoke-free-school-hours at vocational education and training schools in Denmark: attitudes among managers and teaching staff – a national cross-sectional study Clara Heinze1* , Anneke Vang Hjort1, Peter Elsborg1, Helle Terkildsen Maindal1,2 and Charlotte Demant Klinker1 Abstract Background: Tobacco is the main cause of non-communicable disease and premature death globally. Implementing restrictive school tobacco policies such as smoke-free-school-hours (SFSH) may have the potential to reduce smoking among Vocational Education and Training (VET) school students. To be effective, school tobacco policies that largely involve strict and consistent enforcement by both managers and teaching teaching staff must be implemented. This study investigated the attitudes towards the implementation of SFSH among the managers and teaching staff at Danish VET schools. Methods: The analyses were based on cross-sectional survey data collected with an online survey among managers and teaching staff at Danish VET schools. The data was collected from March to June 2017. Results: Managers and teaching staff (n = 571) from 71 out of 87 Danish VET schools (81.6%) took part in the survey. In the adjusted analysis, teaching staff were twice as likely as managers to have a favourable attitude towards SFSH. Furthermore, being female and of increasing age correlated with having a favourable attitude. A trend towards schools in favour of SFSH having more health promotion facilities, policy and practice, was identified. Conclusion and implications: Existing health promotion facilities and activities at the schools were associated with a favorable attitude among the management towards implementing SFSH.
