What is an entrepreneurial project?
The entrepreneurial project:
- is a product, service or event that satisfies a want or need in the community, find a solution to a problem or improve a situation for a target audience that goes beyond the project participants themselves;
- places students at the heart of the action, allowing them to participate actively in the decisions and tasks required to carry out all the steps;
- allows young people to develop their entrepreneurial spirit as well as different values and entrepreneurial characteristics.
Why carry out a project at school?
For the impact on young people
Entrepreneurial experimentation, the second lever of Education Through Entrepreneurial Spirit, is a powerful tool for success. In addition to placing learning in context (what it’s for), experimentation has positive impacts on building identity (discover who I am), the sense of competence (what I’m good at), the feeling of belonging (emotional involvement) and, for older students, it provides career choices (what I like doing).
To have more fun teaching!
Education professionals who use entrepreneurial experimentation report a renewal of their teaching practices, greater pleasure in teaching, a decrease in behavioural problems and classroom management.
