Project Summary

Liminality & Educational Entrepreneurship (LEEN) connects the educational world to the entrepreneurial mentality in its Entrepreneurship cookbook for, in and through education. It addresses two questions:

How does one enhance a learner’s ability to think and respond entrepreneurially
throughout the curriculum?
Which questions does a teacher (trainee) raise when s/he envisions how to embed
entrepreneurial competences in her/his teaching practice?

To answer the first question LEEN created

The Alphabet of Entrepreneurial Learning and Teaching: the L33N Cookbook framed in 26 letters linking features of entrepreneurial learning and teaching to the EntreComp framework and conversations in education
Good Practices: linking existing teaching and learning practices to the entrepreneurship competences
Entrepreneurship Clubs: creating spaces for exploring entrepreneurial learning activities
Learning Grid: a playful and associative discovery narrative into concepts of entrepreneurial learning and teaching

For the second question the following are powerful facilitating tools

Liminal Labs: Moving from classical educational settings to entrepreneurial learning environments by letting go of old habits, creating moments for alternatives leading to decisions of adoption.
Entrepreneur’s Athenaeum: learning from entrepreneurs about entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship Ecology: discovering your entrepreneurship/ intrapreneurship in educational settings
L33N Blog: stories for educational entrepreneurs
L33N Documentary: an invitation to peer-to-peer learning into creating educational entrepreneurial environments

These new ideas help teachers, teacher trainees, pupils and policy-makers to design secondary schools as an entrepreneurial ecology where every teacher/ learner integrates the entrepreneurial competences in its broad sense in every subject of the curriculum.
