Entrepreneurship in Education

The Entrepreneurship in Education course, an interactive and practical ERASMUS+ teacher training program, is designed for educators seeking to empower students with entrepreneurial skills. This hands-on course aims to equip teachers with innovative teaching methods and workshop techniques to effectively teach entrepreneurship in the classroom. 

Entrepreneurship in education goes beyond the traditional notion of starting a business; it encompasses cultivating a mindset that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and resilience. In this course, educators will delve into the principles of entrepreneurship as applied to the educational context. It involves equipping students with the skills and mindset to identify opportunities, take initiative, and navigate the challenges of the modern world encouraging their holistic development. The initiative, leadership, and problem-solving skills fostered in entrepreneurship education empower students to approach problems with innovative solutions, preparing them for future success in diverse fields.

By participating in the Entrepreneurship in Education course, educators will not only understand the theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship in education but also gain practical insights and tools to implement these concepts in their classrooms. 

This course is perfect for teachers of any level (primary, secondary, VET, adult) and other education professionals, who wish to incorporate entrepreneurial methods in their educational institutions.
