Description
Societies worldwide have been changing at the most rapid pace ever in human history. Technology, communications, and the environment are also transforming ever faster, and more than ever, the challenge of educating the next generation is instrumental in meeting the planets growing needs. In order to rise to the challenge, educational systems worldwide are planning, developing and improving, so people are prepared to meet the needs of a peaceful and creative world.
In this context, faculties worldwide suggest that environmental sustainability and entrepreneurial skills need to be integrated in teaching and learning, to motivate learners with value-added experiences with proven results. Students, including the youngest, should be exposed to alternative activities that prepare them with tools for discovering themselves, their talents and instils in them an ability to work to achieve personal success. As a result, this course brings together different definitions of environmental sustainability and environmental entrepreneurship as well as the content, structure, methodology and learning opportunities they create.
Lastly, through education we also create ethical and democratic adults, and teachers will be trained with innovative approaches in environmental sustainability and entrepreneurship. By experiencing environmental education and entrepreneurship, students develop their entrepreneurial skills and environmental responsibilities, while developing their sense of environmental values and agency. They will also practice and improve skills like critical and ethical thinking as well as action, decision making, team building, creativity, communication, presentation, problem solving, self-respect and self-control. Environmental education and entrepreneurship also includes the development of sustainable environmental thinking with an added bonus that embraces the society and cultural heritage which is such an integral part of our rich European history.
