The main general objectives of this project are: • Building a Culture of Social Impact and Sustainability in Entrepreneurship education. • Promoting the creation of a new generation of agents who are builders of a new, sustainable, fair and open world. • Create an Impact Economy Program offer in Higher Education in order to create a generation of young entrepreneurs.
As committed stakeholders from various sectors of education, we share a strong interest in impact economics and a desire to boost its development across Europe: education plays a key role in a world facing numerous societal and environmental challenges. The university education Offer is lacking coherent propositions in terms of Impact economy. In Europe, there are no courses in universities that aim to train impact entrepreneurs. At European level, there is no specific framework on impact skills, even EntreComp mentions its only very shortly (Competence 1.5 - Ethical Thinking and Sustainability). The present project aimed creating a training program to teach the fundamentals of the impact economy and show how a startup can manage a successful business in it. The collaborative creation of innovative educational content and tools allows us to integrate the results into our curricula and disseminate them widely at the national and European levels. It was essential for us to broaden the reach of our organizations and strengthen our skills through international collaboration.
