Background

The project aims to help primary school students aged 9-11 develop social entrepreneurship skills and STEM capabilities to tackle environmental challenges. The initiative addresses the lack of awareness and sensitivity to global problems among students in participating schools. By combining entrepreneurial mindset development with STEM education, the project seeks to empower students, especially those from low-income families, to become creative problem-solvers and environmentally conscious citizens. The project partners identified a gap in entrepreneurship education at the primary school level, as most existing programs focus on high school and university students.
