The toolkit

Overview

How do young people experience that they can make a positive impact on their environment through entrepreneurial actions? We, the educators in the IDEEC team, see this as an experiential, practical, local and active process. Developing competencies for impact-driven entrepreneurship requires agency and activity from your learners.

The framework is divided into three key phases, each featuring three core competencies. Each competency includes a range of engaging activities.
