Multiplier event – three workshops with the theme of implementation of entrepreneurship education on the EQF level 3

In June 2017 we organized a multiplier event – three workshops with the theme of implementation of entrepreneurship education on the EQF level 3. We discussed entrepreneurship education on the EQF level 3 and providing an attractive and attainable role model to learners. Our aim is opening up education and training to the wider world by offering attractive opportunities to business.

These events were organised by Educational Association and hosted by VET schools in South Bohemia. We decided to host smaller events selecting carefully the participants in order to have people really interested in the topic and able to bring the results of the project and the new training courses. In order to receive a perspective of the VET teachers and trainers on quality of those intellectual outputs – 3 workshops took place. Each workshop was connected with the entrepreneurial theme – how to attract and retain the right talents, how to create a dynamic millennial culture, encourage internal innovation, etc.).

The aims of those workshops have been to involve VET teachers and trainers interested at entrepreneurial education and share the project intellectual output, to explore new cooperation fields among the participants. The three meetings have been carried out in an interactive way for facilitating collaborative dialogue and the sharing of knowledge and ideas to create a living network of conversation and action in the area of entrepreneurial education.
