Ecopreneurs
The ‘Ecopreneurs’ project aims to cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviours with an emphasis on environmental preservation while fostering sustainability competencies. It promotes sustainable entrepreneurship education through the use of gamification and thinking-based learning as facilitating and integrating approaches, taking into account the UN SDGs, the EU Green Deal and the core EU principles such as accessibility and inclusion.
This will be done through the following activities:
As a result of the development of the above outcomes, the project will
- Improve the skills and knowledge for sustainable entrepreneurship of VET students
- Mobilize VET students to create innovative answers to global challenges and to engage in a more inclusive and sustainable world
- Enhance VET teachers competences in delivering innovative, game-based education on sustainable entrepreneurship.
Therefore, the project's target groups encompass
VET students,
aspiring entrepreneurs, and
marginalized individuals, including migrant students and those facing discrimination or socioeconomic challenges, aiming to equip them with sustainable entrepreneurship skills.
A number of six European organisations coming from different fields are coordinated by a Swedish institution that are working together to accomplish the proposed objectives.
Project duration: 32 months.
Financial support: European Commission, Erasmus + Programme
