Themes
The key themes covered at the Summer Academy are:
- Entrepreneurial Educational Challenges: Role as educator and institutional catalyst
- Teaching the Entrepreneurship Mindset
- Teaching Entrepreneurial Behaviours, Attitudes and Skills
- Opportunity Recognition and New Venture Development
- Developing Entrepreneurship Education Strategies
Style of Learning
You will be engaged in this intensive programme by “learning by doing”. You will be invited to work with other colleagues during the Summer Academy to share your ideas. Also, you will be shown tasks and activities which you can use with your students when you return to your institution, in addition you will be provided with the experience and materials to make changes to your personal approach and teaching methods.
The style of learning during the Summer Academy will be very inclusive and interactive, so you will be asked to share and get involved. Most of the work will be undertaken in small groups, which will allow you to work with other participants and understand different teaching methods and ideas together, so you will be encouraged to bring your knowledge to the Summer Academy and outline your approaches, sharing your practices with colleagues.
Pre Summer Academy Requirements
You will be required to undertake some pre-work and some reading before attending the Summer Academy – details will be sent to you in advance.
Post Summer Academy
You will be expected to leave the programme with a clear idea of how to fulfil your 3EP commitment to complete your project successfully. You will be connected with a mentor who will support you in this process, so you can be awarded your Fellowship status (see Commitment, Fellowship and Support for more information).
Programme Outline
The draft programme outline for EASA Denmark 2011 will be viewed here.
The European Enterprise Educators programme was astounding and intensive. Its practical approach, scope, and structure were very effective. Underpinned by sound academic theory, it has given me inspiration and confidence to deliver entrepreneurial programmes and also to communicate to academic colleagues the importance of entrepreneurship in higher education. I would strongly recommend the programme for academic staff involved in teaching of any discipline, and also for senior university managers to gain an insight into the importance of enterprise education in times of change. Completing this programme will give you, your students, and your institution an advantage.
