Miming and role-playing is an aspect of simulation. A whole situation is simulated in the classroom, and the participation adopt roles which belong to it. Pupils in general like any sort of play-acting. Stories for dramatization should be chosen with an eye to the roles they offer, preference being given to those which have several rather than two or three characters. The story must first be familiar, and then discussed from the viewpoint of what the characters in it do and say – or, rather, what they can do and say, for as much as possible should be left open for the learners’ suggestions. Parts and passages of the action can be tried out with the whole class, somewhat in the manner of a rehearsal, and then it can be let to groups or teams to see what they can do among themselves.

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.
