Schools and Good Practices search

Welcome to the to the search area for schools and good practices!

Below you will find selected examples from several countries in Europe. More will come as we build the Virtual Guide.

You can either search by country or by 8 different selected areas (Good Practices) or by both. The examples are meant to be of help in your own practice and when implementing entrepreneurship education in your school. You can probably not use them exactly as they are in the examples, but they may be a good start and a source of inspiration.

In the column to the right on this page, you will see some Case Study Schools which are good practitioners of entrepreneurial learning.

Mo and Jolster Upper Secondary School; celebrating good practise

Have a look at the webpage for the student company of 2012-2013. http://rawub.com/imedia.html . These are probably Norway's best and most hardworking student business this year - and the winner of seven awards in the regional competition. They have made two national campaigns, profiled three local activities, and made webpages, films and printed material for countless firms and organisations. As a teacher, they have made me proud beyond measure - and have motivated me and themselves.
