The British Council and European Training Foundation are jointly hosting a seminar during GEW this November to focus on sharing information and increasing understanding of entrepreneurship education, policy and practice. In response to increasing concerns as to how policymakers and the education and training communities can effectively respond to the challenges of growth and employment, this seminar looks at the UK and EU’s approach to developing entrepreneurship within the education system and the contribution enterprise makes to economic recovery, sustainable growth and jobs.
The seminar will bring together senior government officials, policy decision makers, employers, donor agency representatives and senior education staff from around the world.
Each day, the seminar program will focus on a particular theme and will be divided into morning seminars and workshops, and afternoon site visits that will help delegates see how UK policy, education and training are implemented. The seminar aims:
- To share UK and European best practice in enterprise education, including insights to upcoming policy developments.
- To share the experience of successful education and training providers and other stakeholders leading on enterprise education initiatives in the UK
- To provide delegates with opportunities to network with leading UK and international experts in the field of enterprise and entrepreneurship.
- To explore how approaches showcased during the week could provide useful models for delegates’ own reform plans.
