Why we need the education system for a new paradigm! • A country’s competitiveness, innovation and
economic growth depend on being able to produce future leaders with the skills and attitudes to be entrepreneurial in their professional lives, whether by creating their own companies or innovating in larger organisations.
• Entrepreneurship education is the first and
arguably the most important step for embedding an innovative culture in Europe, able to create the jobs that are needed
• Education is key to shaping young people’s attitudes, skills and culture

Entrepreneurial thinking is about embracing challenges

First, the good news: • A great majority of European countries address
entrepreneurship education through national strategies or initiatives
• Nearly half of the countries have incorporated the objectives linked to the promotion of entrepreneurship education within broader strategies (lifelong learning, education and youth, growth), while several countries, located mainly in Northern Europe, have launched specific entrepreneurship education strategies.
• Two thirds of European countries explicitly recognize entrepreneurship in central steering documents at primary education level
• In secondary education virtually all countries integrate entrepreneurship into the curriculum in some form

We teach our kids to go for „good jobs“ With the security of Europe’s welfare system, people are less willing to take risks. This attitude is reinforced at schools and universities, which traditionally have been focused on ensuring students can secure future jobs – not become entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs are very seldom heros
We need role models

But why?
Students who have participated in entrepreneurship education programs at school are less likely to drop out, less likely to be unemployed after they graduate, earn higher incomes and are more satisfied with their careers. They are also 3-5 times more likely to start a business later on. (JA EUROPE; ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION: INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION 2015)
Entrepreneurship refers to an individual’s ability to turn ideas into action and includes creativity, innovation and risk taking, as well as the ability to plan and manage projects in order to achieve objectives. This supports everyone in day-to-day life at home and in society, ... (Best

Entrepreneurial thinking is not an attitude – it‘s a habit
1. Ask questions
2. Be self-motivated
Believe in your own potential and maintain a high level of
motivation, regardless of the attitudes of those around you.
3. See challenges as opportunities
Setback, problems, obstacles, uncertainty or whatever you want to
call them are common elements in life and business.
4. Be resourceful
Make the most of what you have. Don’t let what you cannot do
interfere with what you can do.
5. Embrace risk
Expect failure, plan for failure, and learn from failure. Develop a
resilient spirit so you can handle challenges. 25
Again: it‘s a habit
6. Create value
Your idea, product or service needs to help
create a positive effect on others.
7. Remain optimistic
Have faith in your ability to succeed and persevere when others might give up.
8. Be a leader
The ability to lead is the foundation of building a team, leading others to understand
your entrepreneurial vision and effective selling.
9. Plan ahead
All great accomplishments have a timeline, working from a starting point to the goal.
Goals keep you moving toward things you really want.
10. Think creatively
Being entrepreneurial also requires the courage to believe and the drive to move. 26
Teaching entrepreneurship – the goals
• Raising students’ awareness of self-employment as a career option
• Promoting the development of personal qualities that are relevant
to entrepreneurship, such as creativity, risk-taking and responsibility
• Providing the technical and business skills and knowledge that
are needed in order to start a new venture and manage its growth

The entrepreneurial school
• Give teachers more freedom

• Brings entrepreneurs into the classroom to speak to students as well as to teach courses
• Entrepreneurship and innovation is deeply embedded into the curriculum to ingrain a new entrepreneurial spirit and mindset among students
• Entrepreneurship is expanded across the school
• Invest in the training and development of entrepreneurship teachers
• Ensure the time for teachers to engage in entrepreneurial activities
• Build projects and programmes across disciplines
