Polish-Czech Cooperation Incubator
European Meeting Centre — Nowy Staw Foundation, the organizer of Economic Forum of Young Leaders, realizes a project named “Polish-Czech Cooperation Incubator” — the public task co-financed by Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the framework of the competition Polish-Czech Forum 2019. As part of the project, participants took part in the 14th Economic Forum of Young Leaders, which took place on 2-6 September 2019 in Nowy Sącz, and they had the opportunity to participate in the 29th Economic Forum in Krynica-Zdrój.
The aim of the project was to strengthen the cooperation between young people from Poland and the Czech Republic. The goal of the project was to demonstrate benefits which are provided to the citizens of these two countries due to membership in NATO and the European Union. The project assumed also the implementation of specific objectives. Project participants created new ideas for cooperation between young leaders from Poland and the Czech Republic. With respect to the growing number of fake news they also learned how to carefully analyse the content that is posted on the Internet. Moreover, they showed the areas on which Polish-Czech cooperation is implemented, and they presented numerous benefits resulting from it. Additionally, they developed new areas on which this cooperation will certainly be improved in order to establish new partnerships in the future.
Participants also focused on the promotion of good practices in international cooperation and the implementation of joint partner projects.
An important element of the project was to show Poland as a country where young professionals, leaders of social life and young entrepreneurs from all over Europe can meet, make contacts and debate on issues related to establishing and building cooperation, as well as on the problems of the modern world and modern Europe. The role of the host country – Poland was also an important issue, project participants focused on its promotion. They wanted to show that Poland is a country with its own vision of development of the European Union and NATO membership.
SKILLS AS A KEY TO SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE CAREER
On July 15, we celebrated the World Youth Skills Day. According to Eurostat data from 2017, 38 million people aged 18-24 live in the European Union. On average 10.6% of young people completed their education prematurely. The highest rate of such people can be observed in Malta (18.6%); on the other side of the scale, there is Croatia with 3.1%, in Poland it was 5%. In the era we live in, which is marked by multiple changes, the implementation of innovations and the constant increase of incertitude of the labor market, an extremely important challenge is to not only ensure the inclusiveness of the labor market but also to prevent premature completion of the education.

I am glad that the Organizers of the Economic Forum of Young Leaders have managed to build a tradition of meetings. This is an excellent platform for exchanging experiences, knowledge and their passions. Thanks to this young entrepreneurs, NGO leaders, business association leaders as well as research workers and journalists, working on the local level in their countries, are able to build a better future.
