What is entrepreneurship education?
Entrepreneurship education is education aimed at learners of all ages and part of the curricula on all school levels. It aims to promote positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship, increase entrepreneurial readiness, and develop a culture of entrepreneurial behavior.
The objective of entrepreneurship education is to strengthen our children and young people’s civic competences, the necessary future attitude, and working life skills, as well as to help them identify and acknowledge their personal skills and strengths. Furthermore, entrepreneurship education aims to increase the amount of entrepreneurship in our society and strengthen everyone’s attitudes and abilities to help us cope with changes in the working life sector.
