Objectives

The project was structured around three major objectives: (i) Develop Innovative Curricular Methods: The primary goal was to create innovative curricular methods that foster a cross-domain entrepreneurship mindset in students. This involves addressing challenges in both social and economic domains through collaborative efforts with relevant stakeholders. (ii) Enlarge Digital Competences: The second objective focused on expanding digital competences. This entailed developing applied skills essential for fostering entrepreneurial activities mentioned earlier. The aim was to ensure that curricular models incorporate these digital competences as a core component. (iii) Work in a Transnational Environment: The project emphasized working within a transnational environment where participants could learn from each other and share best practices. The objective was to add value to the activities by addressing pan-European challenges and perspectives, enriching and enlarging the overall project results.

Background

The decision to apply for this project was driven by the recognition that it offers an optimal framework to address shared needs among all participant organizations. The primary goal is to develop transnational cooperation that fosters innovative curricula promoting cross-entrepreneurial mindsets and competences, particularly focusing on digital skills. The project is designed with a pan-European perspective, aiming to be inclusive and introduce a global approach into the curricula. This approach, while addressing local challenges, also tackles common needs at a European level. The project has served as a platform to collaboratively work on these aspects, providing an opportunity to enrich a new paradigm where Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) engage in strong partnerships to enhance competences in curricula with a European Union transnational approach. The overarching objective is to create a more comprehensive and globally-oriented educational framework.
