Course objectives
The aim of the course is:
a) to develop skills, knowledge and attitudes for lifelong learning, including competences for "entrepreneurial" (open, engaged, creative) behavior;
b) gain experience in creating your own project under supervision;
c) to transform this experience into the school environment and thus teach their pupils more interestingly, using projects in teaching and responsibility for their surroundings.
Students will reflect on the level of their competencies in entrepreneurship and project teaching and plan the possibilities for their further development. After completing the course, which is inspired by the practice from Finland, students will be able to purposefully develop entrepreneurship in themselves and through project teaching in their students in accordance with the strategic direction of education policy of the Czech Republic and the European Union.
