Fostering entrepreneurship through education : a handbook for teachers

Abstract

This is a handbook on entrepreneurship education, which aims to enable school teachers to foster a culture of entrepreneurship through their teaching. It has been developed in response to various calls by the European Commission to “develop tool boxes of entrepreneurial teaching methods” and “effective teaching resources” to foster entrepreneurship through education. A set of easy-to-use teaching resources comprising almost 200 suggestions, activities and strategies for infusing entrepreneurship across the curriculum was developed specifically for this purpose. These teaching resources are presented in Part 2 of this Handbook, following an overview of their contextual and theoretical foundations, presented in Part 1.
