Venue: Hogeschool-Universiteit
Brussel, Brussels
The Flemish
Pilot course was developed in collaboration with Vlajo, an organization trying
to get youngsters acquainted with entrepreneurship by building bridges between
education and the trade industry.
During the one-day course, all participants were actively involved. They actually had to leave their own comfort zone.The Flemish course alternated
theoretical and practical input. Participants worked both individually and in
groups during the day. Through cooperative
methods like smart-games and the presentation of a good practice, the
participants learned about the different aspects of entrepreneurship (self
regulation, creativity, innovation, motivation). They were invited to link these
elements with the content, organization, evaluation and their teaching style of
their classes.
We received the following feedback from one of the participants: “It was an inspiring training to think about active teaching methods and activating the students in your classes”. This quote represents the focus of Flanders’ pilot.
After a short introduction of ADEPTT, the participants got acquainted with each other and they found out (in little groups) what entrepreneurship actually means. Besides a theoretical approach of entrepreneurship, the participants learned how they could integrate this in their lessons and/or classroom. A good practice was also presented.
After the lunch, the participants zoomed in on active and co-operative learning and how this could be linked to entrepreneurship. They experienced this through different assignments, which are relevant for their teaching. During the afternoon, the topics concerning evaluation and teaching styles in an entrepreneurial learning environment were extensively explored.
