Project description

The project has designed and elaborated the following outputs to support the development of an inclusive educational entrepreneurial ecosystem in Europe:

European EQF-based Curriculum on Inclusive and Innovative Entrepreneurship Education, defining and mapping the competencies, knowledge and skills to set the foundations for an integral and inclusive entrepreneurship education to young people, developing their skills in creativity and critical thinking and empowering them for fostering their future participation in the economic, social and civil life of society through tools and dynamics ensuring access and opportunities for all including young people from less privileged backgrounds or with disabilities. The European EQFbased Curriculum will also facilitate the recognition of competences in different countries, supporting the mobility of students but also of teachers and educators across Europe and promoting lifelong learning, skills certification and training recognition of non-formal and informal learning. 


A comprehensive Training Modules on Inclusive and Innovative Entrepreneurship Education, with a set of innovative educational materials based on formal, non-formal and informal learning and learning by doing pedagogies addressed to teachers and educators from primary and secondary schools and from external stakeholders interested on entrepreneurship education (NGOs, youth work, foundations, public and private institutions) in order to improve the competence on Inclusive and Innovative Entrepreneurship Education programs defined in the European EQF-based Curriculum.

 

A multi-level Mobile Instructional Learning APP addressed to teachers and educators from primary and secondary schools and from external stakeholders to design and co-create tailor made Mobile Apps on inclusive and innovative entrepreneurship to be used by teachers and educators with young people in formal and non-formal learning environments.

 

Multilingual e-Learning Platform, accessible as Open Educational Resource, to integrate the Training Modules in a e-learning course on Management of Inclusive and Innovative Entrepreneurship Education, to be tested through a pilot course addressed to teachers and educators from primary and secondary schools and from external stakeholders, and to be used also by these teachers and educators to train their young people in a second pilot phase.

 

Set of tailor made Mobile APPS, co-created by the teachers and educators from primary and secondary schools and from external stakeholders, that participated in the pilot courses, together with young people, adapted to the specific reality of the schools and stakeholder organizations and to the needs of young people, in order to develop their skills in creativity and critical thinking and empower them for foster their participation in the economic, social and civil life of society through tools and dynamics ensuring access and opportunities for all including young people from less privileged backgrounds or with disabilities.
