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.

In Memory of Polish Teachers 1939-1945, Middle School no. 6, Koszalin; celebrating good practice

When we participate in numerous ventures and competitions, we announce any successes achieved through the media.

We also use different advertising sources: folders, leaflets, posters, banners, film and local media.

The school received 'A certificate of quality for Schools of Entrepreneurship' , which confirms the quality of our numerous interdisciplinary activities connected with entrepreneurship. We organise many ventures and many teachers are trained in order to run the programme ‘Personal Economics’. This makes good use of their own knowledge, for example during counsellor hours. These teachers participate twice a year in workshops to develop new competences.

In Memory of Polish Teachers 1939-1945, Middle School no. 6, Koszalin; cooperating with partners outside school

Examples of our cooperation with external organisations:

  • The school is particularly pleased to cooperate with banks and bank consultants/employees are regularly invited to classes.
  • We have started a partnership with Politechnika in Koszalin in accordance with an agreement with our Junior High School in order to develop knowledge and the students’ interest in technical sciences, the economy and humanities.
  • We have also initiated an intent to jointly realize an EU project regarding entrepreneurship. Unfortunately the project we wrote excluded the participation of our school, because the announced competition wasn’t an answer for our school's problems / we did not fulfil the project requirements (big school, big location, high educational results, well-functioning school).
  • Thanks to our participation in the project/competition, 'Young Campaign of Entrepreneurship', we have developed an attractive cooperation with the University of Gdansk. Students gain much important knowledge from local institutions to help them when participating in educational projects.
