Supporting young people in  Europe to handle their life in the  World of Work by  Entrepreneurship Education is  our vision
The Comenius Network “Entrepreneurship Education and the World of Work” with Partners from Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey combines the dimensions of entrepreneurial spirit, career management skills and transition to WOW with the value of networks, policies and governance for EE&WOW under educational, employment and social perspectives.
To support young people at successful pathways from the world of education to the world of work has educational, human, social, economic dimensions. The Lisbon process concerning the educational benchmarks related to young people was not successful enough in the last 10 years to guarantee sufficient base competences of young people for world of work. Additional key competences like entrepreneurial spirit became more and more important.
The outcomes of the network will be clear focussed recommendations for “Dos and Don’ts” concerning the issues of the network. These results were developed in clear focused working structures to the topics “Entrepreneurship”, “Career management skills”, “Networks, policies, governance”. These recommendations are addressed to practitioners in working areas like school, supporting institutions, Social partners, PES etc. as well as to stakeholders, policy makers local, regional, national authorities and on European level. Output, results and products of the network will support practitioners in school and entrepreneurship education to improve pedagogical performance, to help young people to develop competences concerning career management skills, key competences, entrepreneurial spirit as a base for successful pathways from education to world of work.
In light of this the partners of the network prepared information about the situation of Entrepreneurship Education and the World of Work within their countries from the point of view of the partner’s organisation.
The report gives an overview about the education and guidance system in the partner countries, about the situation of young people based on statistical figures and qualitative aspects as well as the use of definition of e.g. entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial spirit, career management skills etc. Project and activities concerning the topics were investigated for different areas of implementation like in curriculum at school, activities outside school and proves for the impacts of these activities to specific topics were searched.
The report and the out coming supporting factors and obstacles are basis for the further work on the outcomes of the network to create recommendations how to support young people in Europe entrepreneurship education to handle their life in the world of work. |
