The main objective of the project was to build on the previous success of the 'CSR IN CLASS' project to improve secondary school students' skills and understanding of entrepreneurship and CSR. In fact, we realised during PR1 that there are still big gaps in the knowledge of these topics in schools. The specific objectives therefore include: - promoting CSR+ principles in schools - to promote a network between various European institutions (schools, school offices at regional/national level, policy-makers, local companies, etc.) for the exchange of good practice on CSR+, - strengthening relations between schools and businesses, focusing on the future of the planet and society - creating joint CSR+ training courses, promoting CSR+ in production systems and - orienting young people to the labour market with a social sustainability approach. Ultimately, the project aimed to capitalise on the success of the pilot initiative (a game-based learning platform) in order to improve its transferability to other schools (we received a lot of interest from non-partner schools during regional in-person events) and reach a wider audience of teachers and students for a widespread integration of CSR+ principles in secondary schools.
We applied to promote awareness of CSR+ values, sustainable businesses and social innovation in european secondary schools. Recognizing the importance of preparing future workers and entrepreneurs with CSR+ principles, our goal has been to contribute to the dissemination of these concepts in schools within the EU context, addressing needs such as the lack of awareness among secondary school students about CSR+ principles, the insufficient integration of CSR+ in the school program, the lack of educational tools and the absence of a European network between schools, social partners and companies. Our participation in the project activities aimed at establishing a permanent network, fostering cooperation and promoting CSR+ at both local and EU level.
