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Outdated learning models, students are too slow in learning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
