E-learning platform to increase leadership and decrease unemployment

One of the primary reasons for the young unemployment and failure to satisfy the expectations of the newly graduate professionals in the European scale is insufficient cross-cutting capabilities based on ICT such as e-leadership skills. This leads to failing to satisfy the capabilities of employment of qualified graduate and young workforce, in return.

Global Innovative Leadership Module (GILM) project believes that one of the solutions for current young unemployment, passes through;

  • the university term education (personal effort on increasing capabilities) or
  • development and training on the ‘Information and telecominication technology (ICT)’ based capabilities after graduation.

The project aims to build competitive knowledge-based European youth societies through developing their e-leadership potential and creativity competencies and to transfer these into a workable solution against youth unemployment by closing the gap between more advanced and successful EU members and the countries lagging behind.

During the 4th transnational meeting that took place in Istanbul of Turkey, on 19 May 2017, project’s partners from Turkey, Greece, Italy and Portugal analyzed the current situation and designed the next steps towards the implementation of the project’s activities. Within this framework, they discussed about the e-learning platform that the Italian partners are working on and proposed to use open badges. Also, they referred to the dissemination activities that are necessary to be done in order to help the outputs of the project gain publicity.

Also, on the 18th of May the summit event took place in BAU (Bahçeşehir) University in the area of Beşiktaş. It was a perfectly organized event from the Turkish partners in which many exceptional speakers took part of and analyzed the current situation in unemployment and provided solutions based on leadership-skills-development. Finally, all the partners had the opportunity to present themselves and, most importantly, the outcomes that they developed within the project’s framework.
