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.

Kongevejens Skole

Mellervangskolen; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

We believe that when students are engaged in an innovative process, they can develop personal skills that will enable them to navigate their way through the changeable society of the future. Innovative processes also help develop the students' life skills.

Odsherreds Efterskole and entrepreneurial learning in school plans

The School Development Plan includes the following references to Entrepreneurial Learning:

All teachers are trained in 'KIE-Processes' (Creativity, Innovation, Entrepreneurship).
All teachers are trained in 'Index -Design to improve life'.
All teachers are trained in SCRUM and Coaching.
Several projects are run for all students during the year and specific techniques are taught to all students.
We try to make innovation and entrepreneurship influence teaching and learning in specific curriculum subjects.
'Innovation' is currently one of our key developments and there is a co-ordinator for its development.
We have a few optional classes that focus on entrepreneurship, one of which includes a student residential trip to 'Silicon Wadi' in Tel Aviv (Israel). This subject focuses on making ideas into business and students graduate in the subject when they sell their first product and the bill is paid.

Odsherreds Efterskole; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

Entrepreneurial Learning is about groups of people working together. It creates a value for someone and cannot be learned in theory but takes real-life-learning to get there.

Odsherreds Efterskole; introducing entrepreneurial learning to students

The way we introduce students to Entrepreneurial Learning is as follows:

They are all introduced to our project-management-tool based on Flow-Theory, 'The Project-Arrow', which shows visually where they are to start with. They are also introduced to the 'design-compass' from the index. Especially when we introduce the SCRUM-process, we always have a talk about the role of 'SCRUM-Master' and his 3 'Secret questions'.

The students easily realize that these 3 questions will make them able to ensure that their group is 'Moving', 'Moving in the direction of their goal' and 'Moving as efficiently as possible' whilst giving help to those who need it. They usually see that people asking these three simple questions will help any group to move forward.

Soeborg Skole; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

Entrepreneurial learning is a way of remembering to bring curiosity into learning for the students. It offers an outstanding opportunity for them to understand, listen to and debate with different adults who are searching for the right way to educate the next generation. It is about teaching the students to think: "We can, we do, we make!"
