| Summary | Introduction Entrepreneurship, commonly defined as the process of creating shared value for business and society, is a dynamic force in a rapidly changing world. It thrives on a unique combination of public and private resources and capabilities to develop and exploit economic, social cultural and environmental opportunities. One of the key drivers of entrepreneurship is creativity, an innate or learned capacity to generate and recognize innovative ideas, alternatives and possibilities. Defining Entrepreneurship and Creativity This project starts by providing a comprehensive definition of entrepreneurship. It presents entrepreneurship as the art of creating value by skillfully blending public and private resources to seize opportunities in a changing environment. Entrepreneurship education, an integral part of this endeavor, aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to achieve entrepreneurial success in different contexts. Creativity, another critical element of this project, is defined as the ability to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives or possibilities that can be applied in problem solving, communication and entertainment. It is emphasized that creativity is a matter of recognizing and developing innate abilities which should be nurtured and encouraged among students. The Entrepreneur as a Driver of Creativity The project also reinforces the symbiotic relationship between entrepreneurship and creativity. Entrepreneurs are portrayed as catalysts for creativity and are likened to astute investors in translating ideas into innovations. Just as entrepreneurs identify opportunities and take calculated risks to realize their vision, creative thinkers invest in ideas and possibilities to enrich their lives and contribute to society. Project Goals The main objective of this ambitious project is to develop entrepreneurial skills by incorporating creativity into education. This goal will be achieved through a multi-pronged approach, including the development of ICT-based educational materials and an entrepreneurship curriculum, the organization of Intellectual Property (IP) programs for students and teacher training programs for educators, and the conduct of research initiatives to measure students' entrepreneurial skills. |
