Petra Patrimonia

Petra Patrimonia is an activity and employment cooperative for people who want to create their own business.

However, Petra Patrimonia goes further than incubators and other business incubators by offering project leaders a structure and status through the Business Project Support Contract (CAPE).

At the end of a test period (3 years max), or during it, and if the viability of the project is proven, the project leader can create his own business or become a salaried associate entrepreneur with the possibility of becoming a member of the cooperative.

Petra Patrimonia has different sectors of activity, including Maritima, which is dedicated to the maritime heritage and sea trades.In addition to providing support to project leaders, Maritima leads a number of structuring projects that meet the challenges of sustainable maritime development.

Pučišća Elementary School

Pučišća Elementary School implements an eight-year general education program for students from 6 to 14 years old.

The school provides quality education to its students, applying the creative approach to teaching, with the predominant project and research forms of teaching. Teachers are regularly trained in the implementation of the most effective teaching methods and strategies, in order to enable students to be completely equal in competition with their peers in Croatia and Europe.

That is why the school has been establishing international cooperation with partner institutions across Europe for more than ten years. In co-operation and exchange of best practice with schools in Croatia and abroad, teaching staff are in direct contact with the most up-to-date pedagogical theories.

The acquired knowledge is applied in everyday teaching, on contents that are compatible with the place and time in which students live.

These contents are addressed in a cross-curricular manner, because processing a particular topic through different subjects makes the learning process more interesting and efficient. Creative models of teaching that dominate in the school – project, experiential and research teaching – also contribute to a better understanding of teaching contents and increase students’ motivation.

Its main objectives are environmental awareness and education, observation scientific and / or participative as well as supporting territories in the service of public policies by combining the Mediterranean, sustainable development and education.

Located in Bastia, it acts at the local level, but also at the national and international level by promoting the networking of similar structures.

Each year, it supports schools to help them discover their environment and the world of research. It raises public awareness of environmental issues such as biodiversity, the environment or waste, by organizing events, but also by organizing awareness campaigns.

It organizes and participates in participatory and collaborative observatories on maritime or land themes. At the begining, the association positioned itself as an expert in the marine and coastal area to promote the Mediterranean Sea and its coastal environment with educational events such as the celebrating sea. However, since several years, it has been developing actions around the themes of the garden, food and waste.

Medoro

We are an Italian organization that has its own mission in promoting local sustainable development, social cohesion, international cooperation and above all youth – through self-employment

Over 15 years of activity, we have promoted and managed, directly or in partnership with Public and Private Entities, numerous training, territorial development and transnational cooperation projects. Therefore we know very well the following Funds and Programs: ERDF, ESF, FIFG, Urban, Archimed, Medocc, 3C West, Grundtvig, Ita-Malta, EIE, EAGGF, Erasmus+.

We believe that youth work and youth employment pass through engagement and dialogue between educational institutions, families and businesses. We think that it is necessary to change the way we see and think about our own professional future (not necessarily a single job, as an employee, for the rest of our lives), aiming, from an early age, to the need to acquire entrepreneurial mentality and propensity to innovation. We are struggling to strongly stimulate institutions to encourage and promote youth work through entrepreneurship and the creation of start-ups. We believe that to foster the development of a territory, it is necessary to emphasize local specificities, to make dialogue between public and private stakeholders and to open up cooperation.

We are committed to promoting the involvement of public institutions and local actors who are protagonists of development processes and, in particular, to facilitate the participation of the main actors involved in the "education-training-work-entrepreneurship" chain, to the initiatives of territorial cooperation, youth mobility, design and experimentation of innovative and valued European training tools.
