Entrepreneurial spirit is in most cases on our local level something that is integrated in entrepreneurship education. It’s up to school how and what they teach in entrepreneurship education,but in one primary school it is policy culture (de Wittering.nl). The Municipality stimulates entrepreneurship education in a continous pathway throughout the compulsary schoolsystem (and further). They stimulate entrepreneurial behaviour by stimulating entrepreneurial spirit, attitude and skills by being the director and coordinator of several European projects.
