Overview
This Open Courses is based on the 2016 EntreComp competence framework understanding of entrepreneurship as a transversal key competence applicable by individuals and groups across all spheres of life. It defines entrepreneurship as acting upon opportunities and ideas and transforming them into value for others. The created value can be financial, cultural, or social.
The content of the Open Courses will address the why; what and how of entrepreneurship education. The badge begins with an insight into what entrepreneurship is about, the language of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial competencies and why these are important to understand as a means of identifying what skills and competencies should be incorporated into an entrepreneurship education curriculum. The Open Courses will allow you to explore how these skills can be developed through teaching and pedagogical methods. The challenges encountered in the design, delivery and assessment of entrepreneurship education will then be explored.
