Vocational Education for Educators of Responsible Entrepreneurship
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project Vocational Education for Educators of Responsible Entrepreneurship (VEERE) has been set up in order to meet teachers and schools managers' needs to foster the spirit of enterprise in schools and bridge the gap between Enterprise Education and Education for Sustainable Development and global citizenship. Its aim is to develop, evaluate and promote a teaching guide as an Open Education Resource on Education for Responsible Entrepreneurship for secondary and vocational school teachers of 14 – 19 year olds. The term Responsible Entrepreneurship is used for entrepreneurship that is part of the Green Economy and Social Economy and cares for employees, customers and the wider community, as well as the environment and ethical profit – in other words links to social and sustainable enterprises and cooperatives. The three project partners are all experienced in different aspects of education motivated and complimentary. SustEd, UK is a training enterprise that has a particular specialism in education project management and education for sustainable development. Anima Mundi, Italy, is a social enterprise, as well as a cooperative, that focuses on the green economy and green jobs. Historisch-Ökologische Bildungsstätte (HOEB), Germany, is an NGO adult education provider that runs a large project on student-centre mini-enterprises. The partnership will share partners' experience and identify existing practice in each partner country, and in other European countries. It will build a European network of contacts in schools and enterprises. It will also explore ways that schools can collaborate with local social enterprises, teaching case studies of social/sustainable enterprises, a pedagogical framework including student competencies, a range of student-centered educational activities, and lastly existing curricula and qualifications related to the framework. The Teaching Guide will be tested at workshops in each country and in schools, as well as at a conference in Germany. Finally it will be made freely accessible and usable on an open educational resource that will enable any educator to freely use and adapt the guide. The Teaching Guide will be widely disseminated through its new European network and particularly to networks of enterprise educators and social enterprises. The Teaching Guide will be a significant part of the future service of the three partner organisations as they extend their in-service teachers courses, and support to schools, local authorities and enterprises.
