Introduction
In 2006, the EU designated 'sense of initiative and entrepreneurship' as one of the key competencies for lifelong learning. This encompasses entrepreneurial behavior in a broad sense, not just starting and managing businesses.
Role of Teachers
Teachers in secondary and vocational education play a crucial role in developing these entrepreneurial competencies. They guide the learning process and serve as role models.
Development and Research
Over the past ten years, new teaching methods and formats have been tested to stimulate entrepreneurial ability in students. At the same time, a great deal of scientific research has been conducted on entrepreneurship education. This guide presents the key insights from this, based on the European EntreComp framework of 2016.
