IDEEC
Impact-driven entrepreneurship education for children
What is IDEEC?
IDEEC (Impact Driven Entrepreneurial Education for Children) project provides a baseline and a set of practical building blocks for teachers to apply effective programmes that help children develop impact-driven entrepreneurship competences.
By showing the potential of such programs, educational and economic policy makers are equipped to build policies to support impact-driven entrepreneurship education.
The children and young teenagers of today face grand challenges: the climate crisis becomes more urgent every day, and social challenges like inequality are increasingly pressing. The project ‘Impact-Driven Entrepreneurship Education for Children’ (IDEEC) is focused on educating children to face the environmental and social challenges around them, by developing entrepreneurial skills which they can use as a ‘force for good’.
Who we are
IDEEC integrates established models like EntreComp, GreenComp, and Soft Skills, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience. We’ve collaborated with educators, enterprises, and stakeholders to refine our framework.
Collaboration
If you deal with impact-driven entrepreneurship education, you get inspired by enthusiastic young people developing fantastic new ideas, as well as by motivating educators, who want to change the world. While all do so in their own context and from their own perspective, it is great to see a shared vision about a new role of entrepreneurship in the economy of the future.
