On 10-11 November 2022, the project ‘Impact-Driven Entrepreneurship Education for Children’ (IDEEC) was kicked off at a meeting hosted by Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands. IDEEC supports teachers in school education, impact-driven entrepreneurship education providers, and educational and economic policy makers to build and support effective programs that empower children aged 9-15 to develop entrepreneurial solutions for environmental and social challenges.
At the meeting, participants from Italy, Spain, Scotland, Australia and the Netherlands discussed the activities in the IDEEC project, which lead to four main products:
- a competence framework and didactics guide which provide a baseline to build an effective impact-driven Entrepreneurship Education (EE) program for children aged 9-15
- a tested and piloted toolbox with practical building blocks for such programs
- a tested simple impact measurement tool for such programs
- a policy brief, aiming to inform educational and economic policy makers of the added value of impact-driven EE programs
In the period up to September 2025, these products will become reality! Info about the next IDEEC meetings can be found on the events page.
