Entrepreneurial learning• Entrepreneurship is defined as a dynamic process where

individuals identify possibilities and reshape ideas into practical and goal-oriented work in for example social, cultural or economic activities

• Entrepreneurship is about an approach to learning, comprising all working methods that stimulate students’ self-reliance, self-knowledge, creativity, energy, and ability to cooperate and communicate.

• The entrepreneurial teacher is aware of her/his power and understands that the meaning of her/his power is to give others power. It is about giving students power for their own learning
