U organizaciji Razvojne agencije Žepče uspješno je održana dvodnevna radionica izrade poslovnog modela u sklopu međunarodnog projekta DANUBE WOOD(S) ROUTE, koji se provodi uz potporu Europske unije kroz Interreg Dunavski program.
Radionica je održana 4. i 5. lipnja u sali Općinskog vijeća Žepče, a okupila je dvije profesorice i deset učenika Srednje mješovite škole „Žepče“. Edukaciju je vodio profesor Armin Avdić s Ekonomskog instituta Sarajevo, koji je kroz praktičan rad i interaktivne vježbe sudionike upoznao s osnovama razvoja poslovnih ideja i poduzetničkog razmišljanja.
Tijekom dva dana rada, u trajanju od po pet školskih sati dnevno, sudionici su obrađivali CANVAS poslovni model, jedan od najpoznatijih alata za planiranje i razvoj poduzetničkih pothvata. Kroz radionicu su analizirani suveniri prijavljeni na Javni poziv za odabir najboljeg dizajna i izradu suvenira Općine Žepče, s ciljem procjene njihovog tržišnog potencijala, mogućnosti organiziranja veće proizvodnje te razvoja održivog modela prodaje.
Poseban naglasak stavljen je na povezivanje kreativnosti, kulturne baštine i poduzetništva, kako bi se autentični žepački suveniri u budućnosti mogli razvijati ne samo kao umjetnički radovi, već i kao prepoznatljivi turistički proizvodi.
Kroz ovu aktivnost učenici su stekli nova znanja iz područja poduzetništva, poslovnog planiranja i razvoja proizvoda, dok je istovremeno dodatno ojačana suradnja između obrazovnog sektora, lokalne zajednice i razvojnih institucija.
Razvojna agencija Žepče ovim je aktivnostima još jednom potvrdila svoju opredijeljenost za poticanje inovacija, kreativne industrije i uključivanje mladih u procese lokalnog razvoja, a projekt DANUBE WOOD(S) ROUTE nastavlja s aktivnostima koje povezuju kulturnu i prirodnu baštinu s održivim razvojem turizma i lokalnog gospodarstva.
Business Model Workshop for the Development of Žepče Souvenirs Successfully Held
The Development Agency Žepče successfully organized a two-day Business Model Workshop as part of the international DANUBE WOOD(S) ROUTE project, which is funded by the European Union through the Interreg Danube Region Programme.
The workshop was held on 4 and 5 June in the Municipal Council Hall of Žepče and brought together two teachers and ten students from the Secondary Mixed School “Žepče”. The training was led by Professor Armin Avdić from the Economic Institute Sarajevo, who introduced the participants to the fundamentals of business idea development and entrepreneurial thinking through practical work and interactive exercises.
During the two-day programme, consisting of five school hours per day, participants worked on the Business Model Canvas, one of the most widely used tools for planning and developing entrepreneurial ventures. The workshop focused on the souvenirs submitted to the Public Call for the Selection of the Best Design and Production of Žepče Municipal Souvenirs, with the aim of assessing their market potential, exploring opportunities for larger-scale production, and developing sustainable sales models.
Special emphasis was placed on connecting creativity, cultural heritage, and entrepreneurship, with the goal of ensuring that authentic Žepče souvenirs can evolve not only as artistic creations but also as recognizable tourism products.
Through this activity, the students gained valuable knowledge in entrepreneurship, business planning, and product development, while at the same time strengthening cooperation between the education sector, the local community, and development institutions.
By organizing this workshop, the Development Agency Žepče once again confirmed its commitment to fostering innovation, supporting creative industries, and encouraging young people to take an active role in local development processes. The DANUBE WOOD(S) ROUTE project continues to implement activities that connect cultural and natural heritage with the sustainable development of tourism and the local economy.
