In the classrooms of the 1st General Lyceum of Naoussa, a group of students is proving that unemployment and labor migration are not the only options for young people.
Through the European Project BEE, students aged 15–18 put their books aside for a while and got their hands on the real economy of our region to design their own business proposals. With the support of their teachers and representatives from EduQuest, the students participated in an interactive series of training sessions on green entrepreneurship.
Through hands-on workshops, students learned how to identify business opportunities where others see problems, how to develop a comprehensive plan to turn an idea into reality, and how to present their proposals to an audience with confidence and persuasiveness.
As a result of the entire training process, the students developed specific proposals that could be turned into real businesses in our city, such as:
● Waste management: Producing cosmetics from peach pits and heating pellets from tree prunings.
● New life for clothes: A platform that transforms old fabrics into new, useful products, reducing waste.
● Less plastic in the fields: Replacing plastic crates with eco-friendly materials and recycling old irrigation pipes.
● Recycling: Organized collection and conversion of city waste into useful items for the community.
The students’ best business ideas, as well as the entire European Project BEE, will be presented at a public event to be held on Tuesday, May 12, at 6:00 p.m. at the “VIVON” Wine Library.
It will be an opportunity to see together how the new generation of Naoussa envisions and plans the future of our region.
More information about the event will follow.
