LOCAL TO GLOBAL

TEAM: Ajmo

COUNTRY: Croatia

CURRENT SITUATION

Big unemployment rate among young people on

global level

Croatia have big unemployment rate not just

among young people but big uneployment rate in

general

In last 10 years Croatia is having brain drain

problem

Current economical situation is only worsening

brain drain problem

PROBLEM TRIGGERS

School system that is not producing people who know how to

thing, how to address the problem and how to solve the

problem

It is all about grades, not about the knowledge and helping

young people to get to know themselves, test their strengths

and limits

Outdated learning models, students are too slow in learning

new skills and amount of information they need to know is

growing everyday

PROBLEM TRIGGERS(2)

Huge administration

Nepotism

Continuously declining industrial sector and

industrial production

Government corruption

Uneducated people on very important positions

GO LOCAL

Problem with the solutions that are presented

nowdays (unemployment) is they are too much

government oriented, it is all about further

centralisation and that is not good way to solve

problem like unemployment

Go against the stream, think different, think

local!

WHY LOCAL?

Government is to big, to slow to solve problems

and it is corrupted(there is no country in the

world that doesn’t have problems with

corruption)

It is easier to organise local communities, almost

every local community have some sort of

facilities where locals can gather and discuss

problems and to gather locals all you need is

viral marketing

EDUCATE EACH OTHER

Unemployment cannot be solved only with short term

measures, but one of the short term measure is educate each

other

Lots of people lost their jobs, people with experience, but

without skills needed in modern world (computers)

Such people can educate young people in their local

communities because they have vast experience, and young

people can teach them computer skills (almost every local

community already have computers)

LOCAL THINK TANKS

When you connect experience and youth you get think tanks

Bill Gates started from garage, Steve Jobs also, Mark

Zuckerberg from his dorm room...maybe another giant will

start from local think tank?

Many older unemployed people have useful skills (like

sewing) but they lack youth energy, youth idea for bussiness

and all we have to do is connect them on local level

TEACH CHILDREN

This is long term project

Nowdays children are spending too much time sitting,

watching TV, not doing anything useful. Local communities

can organise volunteer activities for children and that way

they can learn how to be responsible toward local and global

community and sensible about the environment, other people

etc

This way children will gain working habits which is very

immportant

LET’S DO IT

To put Local to Global project into action you don’t need

money all you need is your time (power of local communities)

Team Ajmo will need two weeks to make viral marketing

campaing and five days per local community to educate people

about the project and then those people will be able to carry

the project on their own (power of local communities)

Our goal is to reach at least 30 000 unemployed people in

Croatia engaged in the project through their local

communities
