Depends on a chosen idea, some suggested ideas are for the lesson (45 minutes), others can take a whole year.
Description
A methodology adapted to the needs of regions as an integral part of creatively entrepreneurship in both formal and non-formal education in grades 5-11 ,although many ideas can be applicable in primary level and/or Higher Education Institutions with Initial Primary Teacher Education.
To understand how entrepreneurship education can be implemented in a primary level by analysing and applying Aflatoun program direcly with primary children (f.e. during internship)
To understand how entrepreneurship and related themes can be taught for youth and adolescents (16-24+), the ideas can be applied in initial teacher training.
To analyse the report on evidence-based strategies for the social and economic empowerment of children and youth in order to get a better understanding of particular entrepreneurship related themes.
Materials
There’s a lot you can find on organization’s website:
The EIPTE project considers, that most applicable for Initial Primary Teacher Education would be the following resources, provided by the organization:
The AflaYouth, which curriculum aims to improve income-generation abilities for vulnerable young women and men (aged 16-24+) across geographies. It is suited to easily be adaptable in all contexts. It enables young people to gain access to training, support, mentoring and on- and offline learning during their transitions into the formal labour market or entrepreneurship.
Aflatoun’s core programme focuses on children of primary school age, because new attitudes and behaviours are most easily absorbed during this time. It is a fundamental period in personal development, where literacy, numeracy and basic skills become ingrained and part of everyday life. Our curricula can be used within formal primary education, but for those without access to schools we have developed the Non-Formal Education manual.
The AflaYouth curriculum aims to improve income-generation abilities for vulnerable young women and men (aged 16-24+) in all of Aflatoun’s regions. A programme model for Social and Financial Skills (SFS), Employability and Entrepreneurship skills, suited to easily be adaptable to all contexts. It enables young people to gain access to training, support, mentoring and learning on- and off-line during their transitions into the formal labour market or entrepreneurship.
Social and Financial Skills (SFS) program covers the following transferable skills:
Self-awareness • Judge & identify one’s strengths and weaknesses • Show tolerance • Cope with stress and frustration • Overcoming Obstacles • Feel empathy • Building confidence and motivation • Regulate saving and spending • Plan and budget • Manage financial options • Differentiate between needs and wants.
Employability program covers the following transferable skills:
Communicate constructively • Teamwork and cooperation • Setting goals • Critical thinking • Decision making • Anticipating challenges • Negotiation and persuasion • Flexibility • Seeking and making use of guidance • Gaining, processing and assimilating new knowledge
Entrepreneurship program covers the following transferable skills:
Identifying opportunities • Sense of initiative • Creativity and innovation • Problem-solving • Leadership • Risk-assessment • Planning and managing projects • Ability to prioritise • Building on prior experience and knowledge.Studies have shown the positive impact that a combination of social, financial and livelihoods education, along with access to appropriate financial services can have on young people. Girls and young women take leadership opportunities, young people become active citizens, children stay in education or training, and young people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are strengthened. The key factors are the individual’s confidence, their capabilities to manage their economic circumstances, and their access to the right kind of financial and educational services. This report is about helping young people take control, to self-determine, and to achieve their goals. To enhance children’s social agency and financial health resulting in greater empowerment six evidence-based strategies are examined. These translate into specific recommendations for national policy makers, private sector entities, educators, international agencies and civil society/NGOs. The success of these solutions requires that children and youth are involved in all stages of their design, implementation and evaluation.
Languages
English and other languages (varies depending from the country). Through a strong network of 345 partners and 38 governments, the organisation reaches 10.5 million children and young people each year in 108 countries.

to create and to share tools in the provided platform.
TES is one of the largest entrepreneurship education initiatives in Europe, co-funded by the European Commission through the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP). It aims at supporting teachers’ professional development in applying the entrepreneurial learning in several subjects and learning environments (primary, secondary, upper secondary and vocational schools). As teachers are playing a leading role in the implementation and evolution of entrepreneurial learning: thousands of good tools and methods for entrepreneurial learning are used in European schools every day. The Virtual Guide constitutes the first attempt to systematize them with over 100 tools and methods included in the first edition, but it aims to further grow and to become an increasingly important go-to place for entrepreneurial teachers in search of good ideas and examples. In order to achieve such a goal, we need your help to broaden the variety of tools and methods presented in the guide. If you have developed experiences, best practices or new ideas share them by filling the form provided on the website. The Virtual Guide provides 33 tools for lower primary and 55 for higher primary levels, and 48 tools for Initial Teacher Education.
The platform provides lots of opportunities for games, so duration can vary depending on needs.

The development of the entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens and organisations is one of the key policy objectives for the EU and Member States. Ten years ago, the European Commission identified sense of initiative and entrepreneurship as one of the 8 key competences necessary for a knowledge-based society. The EntreComp framework presented in this report proposes a shared definition of entrepreneurship as a competence, with the aim to raise consensus among all stakeholders and to establish a bridge between the worlds of education and work. Developed through a mixed-methods approach, the EntreComp framework is set to become a reference de facto for any initiative aiming to foster entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens. It consists of 3 interrelated and interconnected competence areas: ‘Ideas and opportunities’, ‘Resources’ and ‘Into action’. Each of the areas is made up of 5 competences, which, together, constitute the building blocks of entrepreneurship as a competence. The framework develops the 15 competences along an 8-level progression model and proposes a comprehensive list of 442 learning outcomes. The framework can be used as a basis for the development of curricula and learning activities fostering entrepreneurship as a competence. Also, it can be used for the definition of parameters to assess learners’ and citizens’ entrepreneurial competences.
Seeing the relationship between language teaching and entrepreneurial education Teaching language in an entrepreneurial way
Duration
Workshop of 2 hours
Material
Concrete materials such as lego blocks, vegetables and fruit, bathroom products, work utensils and socks
Description
In this workshop students design an entrepreneurial lesson for primary school children.
In order to start this workshop it is important that students already have a basis of didactics and teaching experience. The workshop starts with a short explanation about entrepreneurship in education. We strongly emphasize the breadth of the subject because entrepreneurship is often only associated with setting up a business, accounting, profit and loss.
Next, students in small groups are given the assignment to work out an entrepreneurial lesson on the basis of concrete material. We give students two materials that at first sight do not seem to have too much to do with each other. The purpose of this is precisely to challenge them to think creatively.
After this first design, we ask them to present their design to another group. The group that listens identifies the business opportunities they have heard and seen in the design. The presenting group complements unnoticed opportunities.
Afterwards, each group gets an additional assignment to look at. They have to look at the language development opportunities in their design. If they are not yet enterprising, they are also asked to make them enterprising. In this way we want students to experience that entrepreneurial teaching is not the same as project teaching. When carrying out a project you indeed have a lot of opportunities to work on the entrepreneurial skills, but also within individual lessons we can make enterprising and in all lessons there is language.
Creaction! is an online training platform developed by the University of Deusto to foster entrepreneurial skills. It is a journey that starts when someone invites you to join it. There are different roles:
Travelers are those who join the journey once they receive an invitation from their Guide. Although there are individual exercises, the journey is designed to be made simultaneously in a group.
Guide is the person who invites travelers to join Creaction! This person has previously completed the journey. He or she will shake and motivate the travelers during their adventure and will keep track the traveler's work.
Hosts are experts from the University of Deusto who have created the Creaction! Methodology. They will help guides in their tasks as journey shakers.
The journey concludes with a final project that will make the change either in or out your organization. The topic of the projects can be either defined by the Guide or by the same traveler. Creaction! has a clear practical approach, and the best sample of this is that to conclude the journey, each traveler has to share his or her project following the Design For Change methodology.

To develop new ideas or thoughts - regardless of the task/problem.
The same process that leads to radical innovation will also enhance self-esteem and thus the joy of participation by the individual human. Therefore, the Creative Platform can both be used for innovation, development of job satisfaction through higher self-esteem and in any situation where new thoughts or ideas are needed.
The Creative Platform can be used for teaching creativity, creative teaching in all subjects from primary school to PhD level, developing self-esteem, generation and development of ideas for new products, services, organizational setups, marketing plans, what to do in the weekend, where to go for holiday or any other context where a new idea or thought is needed in a group.
Duration
It depends on the modules and/or activities you decide to implement. There are activities for minutes or modules to be developed during weeks.
The Creative Platform is a paradigm for unlimited application of knowledge in processes. It is practiced by a creative process in groups. Through the creative process humans develops an ability to be themselves - thus freeing them from limitations of disciplinary (academic/professional), social or cultural character. The basic element of a creative process is the idea. An idea is a unique situation-specific representation of knowledge - and the process consists of ideas - on ideas - on ideas until the solution in the form of a product, project, procedure, an appointment, idea concept, a professional understanding or course of action is a reality. The Creative Platform is an approach for teaching creativity and/or running creative processes. It is the idea of an ideal mental workplace for interdisciplinary, inter-social and intercultural groups. On the platform it is possible for professionals from all kinds of disciplines and cultural backgrounds to unlimited apply their knowledge for solving a common task/problem. Therefore The Creative Platform is a learning environment, where people apply their knowledge unlimitedly to create new knowledge constructions in terms of ideas for products, services or new perspectives on their thinking. As a didactic approach the creative platform forms a shift in paradigm compared to most didactic approaches. While the core in traditional didactic approaches is about reflecting experiences or literature, the core in The Creative Platform is about engaging in the experience of creatively creating something together with other people. This notion builds on the premise that only through total engagement it is possible to let go of the dominating patterns of thinking that are bound by disciplines, social structures and cultural traditions. Examples of application ranges from organizational development, product/service development, teaching creativity at all levels of education, creative teaching at all levels of education, cross disciplinary work, self-esteem development and much more. In the video below you can see an introduction to The Creative Platform. 6-PHASE MODEL The process on The Creative Platform and the work done on it always follow the same phases - no matter what the purpose might be: 1. Preparation for facilitating the process, composition of participants, physical frames and writing down a minute-by-minute program of the process 2. The Red Carpet is a ritual in which participants get onto The Creative Platform and have the motivation, concentration and confidence to engage in the process 3. The problem/task is presented briefly and without professional/academic input of any kind 4. Idea development is where knowledge is applied unlimited in a creative generation and development of solutions for the problem/task
5. Professional/academic input is brought into the process when we have found a direction/an idea that we want to develop further 6. The Blue Carpet is a ritual in which participants are taken down from The Creative Platform and will be prepared for the ordinary world again 3D CASES The process includes a number of 3D cases from the 3D Didactic. These exercises provide a change in behavior and thinking of the participants needed on The Creative Platform. The 3D cases are context independent. A process consists of alternating 3D case - working on task/problem - 3D case - working on task/problem, and so on. Therefore, the 3D cases are only used to create a specific behavior and thinking that is needed for the following work on task/problem – a bit like a training before doing. You can read more about 3D didactic in by following the link "3D Didactic" in the menu on the right. PRINCIPLES The entire process of The Creative Platform including 3D cases, the work on task/problem, the 6-phase model and everything else - are uncompromisingly following four fundamental principles: All have the same kind of thinking and behavior at all times (parallel thinking) One should only focus on the task (task focus) There should be no experience of judgement (no experienced judgement) Stimulating the use of all kinds of knowledge (horizontal thinking) BEFORE USING THE PLATFORM It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself thoroughly with it before you start. A good idea is to experiment with using it in situations where you have only little at stake. The more confident you become about using it, the more your participants will understand, feel it and eventually get onto The Creative Platform. In the menu "The Creative Platform" under "What is it" (https://www.uka.aau.dk/The+Creative+Platform/What+is+The+Creative+Platform/) you will find videos and literature to read before you start using it. The Creative Platform uses the 3D Didactic as an important part of the processes. It would be interesting to study this concept further. You can find more information on the 3D Didactic in the menu "3D Didactic" (https://www.uka.aau.dk/3D+Didactic/) . There are process modules and tools for processes that are available in the menus "The Creative Platform" under: * "Process modules": All processes (courses) on The Creative Platform are made by mixing standard modules in different ways. This means that one can make a course on creativity by mixing the modules in one way, an innovation process by mixing in a different way and a completely third mix can create a process for self-esteem development, and * "Tools for processes": In the following you can find the tools needed for using The Creative Platform yourself. All materials are open source and you are allowed to print/copy as many as you would like for private/organizational use, however, you are not allowed to print/copy for sales. See https://www.uka.aau.dk/The+Creative+Platform/
To generate innovative and creative ideas that focus its effectiveness on understanding and solving the real needs of users.
Duration
Depending on the way in which the process is structured, the challenge that has to be faced, the information that the participants have, the number of people that participate in the process and the time that is available, the design thinking methodology could be worked out in a practical way in a minimum of two days. In any case, it depends on different variables.
This toolkit for educators will act as a reference to deal with this methodology and guide the educator and students.
This tool is based on the idea that "Design Thinking is the confidence that everyone can be part of creating a more desirable future, and a process to take action when faced with a difficult challenge. It is believed that that kind of optimism is well needed in education". This tool is also based on the fact that Design thinking is a creative process that helps you to design meaningful solutions in the classroom, at your school, and in your community. The toolkit for educators provides you with instructions to explore Design Thinking and its 5 phases:
