Meaningful Entrepreneurial Mindsets. Ideas to Actions

 

The Erasmus+ KA2 project “Meaningful Entrepreneurial Mindsets. Ideas to Action” aimed at developing those personal attributes and generally applicable skills that form the basis of an entrepreneurial mindset and behavior, raising students’ awareness of self-employment and entrepreneurship as possible career options, boosting entrepreneurship in education through the creation of an attractive teaching and learning tool, and providing specific business skills and knowledge of how to start and successfully run a business. The partners hoped to increase the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship among the players of the VET sector and promote education for entrepreneurship.

 

ONLINE PLATFORM

The partners commonly developed an intellectual result – an educational online platform, which includes an introductory course about starting a business in English aimed at secondary-level VET learners. This educational platform and the online course incorporated within it is a starter pack for creating a business. It covers a progression of topics necessary for successful business creation.

The WEB platform has several sections:

  1. Project description;
  2. Online course – freely available to the general public;
  3. Success Stories – interviews with young businesses;
  4. Video lectures;
  5. Interactive map of support providing organizations, and other sections devoted to business development and implementation;
  6. Blog with project news (follow-up events during the project, such as Team meetings’ reflections).
