Project Summary

YES project will introduce entrepreneurship education in order to teach students life skills and give them a personal, financial and economic understanding. The project is a result of contemporary needs of constant changes of modern life which means students must be equipped with life skills by implementing entrepreneurial education in each partner school. The project will teach primary school kids to turn ideas into action through European cooperation among schools, which was established with the use of eTwinning platform. All participants said ‘YES’ to common cooperation.Students need to be self-reliant, innovative and intellectually curious. The key skills will be taught in all partner schools, we will share our knowledge and experience and together prepare teaching materials for civic education, Maths lesson plans as well as writing business plans which will introduce students in entrepreneurial field. We’ll use Interactive Tools in order to prepare interesting teaching resources which will be used to teach students English, Maths, literacy and entrepreneurship but also by implementing YES curriculum in each partner school. By blending entrepreneurship with education will enhance the skills that employers seek and allow students to create their own definition of success of their future life. One of our goals is to develop teaching methods and gain new knowledge by opportunity to work with such mixed international team. This project will enable students and teachers to learn in informal way during Learning/Teaching/Training short-term student exchanges (51students) and teachers will attend 2 trainings (24teachers) which will bring positive impact on them. They’ll be motivated to learn English and gain multicultural skills.They’ll be taught in the entrepreneurial field but also gain knowledge in programming and using advanced ICT tools. We’ll develop basic skills among students by teaching them Maths, literacy and students at the age of 7-14 will gain basic knowledge about how important is to think in entrepreneurial way.
