From creative idea to creative entrepreneurship

Description

Cultural and creative industries are the key point of support for a new pattern of economic growth based on creativity and innovation, which has an enormous potential to respond to the challenges of the current policy of the European Union. Skills and competences obtained in VET can't be limited to meeting the demands of technical and industry-based occupations, or handicrafts. VET is a key source for support of the growth of the creative sector. Young people coming out of VET schools will be expected to be capable of individual entrepreneurship, start-ups and inventing their own jobs as the world is now looking for job creators rather than job seekers. The highly paid and highly demanded skillful specialists nowadays are related to products and services innovations.In order to fulfil the current market demand VET should ensure that the curriculum and teaching methods support development of creative entrepreneurship and design product commercialization. The core competencies required by modern entrepreneurial works should be developed through vocational education. There are several competences critical for being successful entrepreneur: team working, problem solving, communication, business modelling, design thinking and business planning. Those competences should be trained together with intercultural and practical professional skills. The industries experience the actual problem with quality of preparation of students for working in multicultural creative companies or running creative start-ups. There is a gap between students' creative performance at school and their difficulties of professional self-actualization after graduation. That shows low level of awareness of real situation in industry and lack of competences to maintain the creative career. Changes in teaching approach would solve this problem and students would be better trained for future life and would easily position themselves inlabor market and see themselves as being the source of regional and national economic success.Four VET organizations across the EU teaching design and/or business programmes: Daugavpils secondary school of design and arts “Saules skola” (Latvia), Scuola d’Arte Andrea Fantoni (Italy), Valkeakosken seudun koulutuskuntayhtymä (Finland) and 1 EPAL NEAS IONIAS MAGNISIAS (Greece) will cooperate on the field of competence training and exchanging the best practices of teaching basic entrepreneurship. The main emphasis of this project is made on the teaching practices in order to shift the teacher’s approach from the low functioning to solution-oriented tasks and achieve the quality and efficiency of vocational training.The project supports teachers from vocational schools from four vocational schools in their search of modern creative approaches in teaching entrepreneurial skills and provides opportunities to students of those school to cooperate and simulating the modern multicultural environment in classroom to solve creatively entrepreneurial tasks.The main objectives of the project are:-to help the educators and their staff to teach creative entrepreneurship in the most effective, modern and practical way by using various teaching methods (case studies, field work, thinking tools, interactive games and moderated discussions) for better performance of the graduators in international labor market.-to create the space where students could begin to develop their personal and professional identity and communicate with peers from other school on EU level.The project activities include intensive virtual activities using modern ITC tools, short-term staff training activities and mobility of students. In the result of the project the project team will develop the Handbook on teaching entrepreneurship in VET school were the best experience is carefully collected, evaluated and the most efficient methods are suggested for use in vocational school.
