BACKGROUND

ET 2020, the new strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training points out the need to foster

entrepreneurship, along with creativity and innovation, in all forms of learning irrespective of education level. This is the last of a large number of policies, recommendations and papers advocating for

the inclusion of enterprise in education, and there is a pressing need to go beyond the theoretical talk and provide concrete examples of

how to implement enterprise in the classroom (Ruskovaara, Ikävalko, 2007).

→ ADEPTT, Acknowledging and Developing Entrepreneurial Practice in Teacher Training aims to CREATE A STRATEGIC EU

MODEL TO PROMOTE TEACHER TRAINING IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP as a means to develop entrepreneurial

mindsets in European young people and thus, socio-economic and local/regional development.


PROJECT AIMSADEPTT aims at:

Increasing the level of attention on the role of teachers as key stakeholders with the potential to generate awareness, commitment and enthusiasm of EU students regarding entrepreneurial issues;Promoting mutual understanding towards joint strategies among the key EU stakeholders working in teacher training to foster entrepreneurship;Identifying, adapting and validating a teacher training model establishing a community of key stakeholders to support the current policy agenda.


PROJECT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVESTo identify existing good practices in the field;To design a training model for EU teachers to train EU students - including a set of ready-to-use tools and techniques for entrepreneurial learning that teachers can directly apply in their classroom;To design sound self-assessment of teaching practice, paving the way for a change in the teacher’s mindset and confidence;To improve the skills of EU teachers by testing a specific training model in the countries involved;To design and develop specific activities (thematic workshops in key events) intended to consolidate the model, raise awareness, create a sense of belonging between all stakeholders involved and sustain the project activities;To exploit the project activities promoting through the dissemination of the approach and model proposed;To put in place all the necessary measures to ensure effective project management and the necessary internal and external evaluation measures.


FOCUS - TRANSFER OF INNOVATION

The transfer of innovation will be mainly geographical, from the materials selected in the frame of WP2. We start from the results from one partner, GdBK Foundation (Enschede, the Netherlands), but these materials will be enriched with

the materials from other partners participating in ADEPTT as many partners have experience in implementing teacher

training courses on entrepreneurship.

The training model will be piloted in ES (Asturias), PT (Porto), UK (Wales), DE (Berlin), NO (Trondheim), Iceland and BE (Brussels-

Leuven area).
