Project Summary

Small and medium sized businesses in the service sector stands for an increasing part of employment in Europe. Entrepreneurship has been integrated in the curriculum across Europe and is an integrated part of almost all education programmes. Entrepreneurship education and programmes mostly focus on one country and one field. The aim of this project is to develop new innovative business ideas with service design by blending business ideas from five countries; Finland, Holland, Portugal, Slovenia and Sweden, and three different fields; hairdressing, media and fashion & clothing. The project comprise 7 different schools. About 120 vocational students and 20 teachers will participate in the project.

In addition to blending business ideas from different countries and fields the project focus on future skills in sustainable development and circular economy as central themes. A good life is no longer achieved by simply producing more and more goods. How do we move to a circular economy, in which consumption is based on using services – sharing, renting and recycling – instead of owning things?, this is a question that every future entrepreneur should be able to answer (www.sitra.fi). The project also benchmark and develop new methodology and pedagogical tools for entrepreneurship education.
