Goals and Objectives

The project consists of two youth exchanges. You can attend both of them or only one, it is up to you. If you decide to attend both, in the second you will be assisting and facilitating some of the workshops,
so you can practice different skills.

Having a personal brand is not only a great way to create trust for potential employers or clients, but it also helps to build relationships by showing braveness, self-awareness and authenticity. If we dare to tell our complete story and build our brand not just around our successes, but also our failures, struggles and how we grew from them, we can build full pictures that people can see and relate to. That’s how we can set ourselves up for success no matter the field or position that we want to pursue.

Code of Self-Branding is an Erasmus+ project to empower young people pursuing their dream career and stimulate entrepreneurial learning. We will start from ourselves – building self-branding from a personal perspective to higher the chances to find the right job (Youth exchange #1) and further going to entrepreneurship in more in depth (Youth exchange #2). The idea behind this project is to create a safe space where you can explore your core values, share your authentic story and experiment creatively with your branding identity.
