Description

VET students play a crucial role in entrepreneurship as they prepare to enter the workforce. However, economic priorities often overshadow sustainability concerns, hindering the integration of sustainable development into education. Our project addresses this gap by developing a curriculum that combines Sustainable Entrepreneurship Education (SGE) with Project Based Learning (PBL). By integrating these approaches, students learn actively through real-world projects, fostering skills in innovative and environmentally friendly business practices. Through SGE, students grasp the significance of sustainability and social responsibility, enhancing their entrepreneurial mindset and teamwork skills. Ultimately, this initiative aims to equip students with the knowledge and competencies to drive sustainable economic growth in the future.
