WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?

As the students from both schools take part in the Junior Achievement "Company Program", they will exchange information about the similarities and differences in the way young people can start up a business in their own country.
During the class exchange, taking place in April in Sweden, the students will create a joint venture and launch a new product or service onto the market. They will draw up a business plan and think about a marketing strategy to market their product in both countries.

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE PROJECT?

Communicating in a foreign language with students from a different country.
Becoming aware of differences and similarities in setting up a company in Italy and Sweden.
Being able to build up a joint venture and launch a new product/service in different European countries.
Being able to reach consensus, by building an international team.
