Overview

Entrepreneurship learning aims to foster in learners those personal qualities such as creativity, spirit of initiative and independence that contribute to the development of an entrepreneurial attitude, which will prove useful in personal life and in every working activity.

This learning will also provide early knowledge and contact with the world of business, and some key understanding in the role of entrepreneurs in the community.

The core knowledge created via entrepreneurship education includes, but is not limited to the ability:

  • to recognize opportunities in one’s life;
  • to pursue such opportunities by generating new innovative ideas and marshalling needed resources;
  • to think in a creative way.

Assuming digital skills have a very relevant connection to general competences, B-KIDS will use digital tools for teaching students and youngsters to interact in heterogeneous groups

Learning outcomes

The training programme focuses on cooperative learning through the use of simplified marketing and business tools such as SWOT analysis, market research, online collaboration platforms, digital tools and social networks.

Divided into smaller groups, participants will be asked to complete different tasks for the production of a business product and/or game that can be later on used for learning activities inside the classroom.

With project based learning, the participants will have the opportunity to master theoretical knowledge as well as practical work, gain valuable experience in different types of media as well as project planning and implementation.
