Policy makers
If you want to help get involved in this campaign there is still plenty of work that we need your help for. Sign the pledge (link) and see how you can get involved. Some activities we suggest include:
- Setting European targets for participation in entrepreneurship education. Reinforce the EU recommendation that every student should have at least one practical entrepreneurship education experience before leaving compulsory education.
- Creating a framework for cooperation between Member States, so successes and lessons can be shared easily.
- Working with SMEs and associations to inspire potential entrepreneurs, and raise awareness of how entrepreneurship education can help.
- Building on the EE-HUB’s existing network to create a permanent European Entrepreneurship Education Hub, with a long term business plan and funding strategy. This should foster public-private cooperation to boost entrepreneurial learning.
Business
We appreciate any help that businesses can lend us. Sign our pledge to get in contact with one of our team mates. Some of the areas which businesses are already supporting us in include:
- Collaborating with the wider community to design and successfully implement entrepreneurial education.
- Co-operating and supporting local authorities and NGOs to raise awareness about the positive impact of entrepreneurship and its contribution to wider society.
- Partnering with both local and regional education institutions for both elementary and higher education through facilitating educational and developmental programmes.
