Many Deaf sign language users are unemployed or working in unfulfilling and/or unrewarding jobs. At EU level a range of activities has been implemented to support individuals and educators to train potential and beginning entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship now is a priority throughout Erasmus+ and recognized as a key competence that enables people to develop the skills they need for life and work. To this end, entrepreneurship education strategies generally address active citizenship, social entrepreneurship, venture creation as well as employability (European Commission/EACEA/Eurydice, 2016. Entrepreneurship Education at School in Europe. Eurydice Report. Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union).All or most of the mainstream resources in this field however, are not accessible to Deaf sign language users: texts do not meet their reading requirements, videos are not subtitled, examples, tools and other resources are inappropriate or inaccessible.The objective of the Deaf Enterprise project was to develop, test and implement an Open Educational Resource (OER) and Curriculum to teach entrepreneurial skills to Deaf sign language users of all ages.The Deaf Enterprise OER and Curriculum were to be ‘made to measure' for and by Deaf sign language users. The Consortium consisted of 5 partners from 4 countries, 4 of whom had extensive experience developing training courses for Deaf sign language users.At the start of the project, very little was known about Deaf entrepreneurs in the EU member states. Although there have been a few EU supported projects about employability and Deafness, our project was the first of its kind to focus on Deaf people who have started, or want to start their own business. How many Deaf business owners are there in the member states of the EU? What kind of businesses do they have? Are there any specific barriers that they have to deal with. If yes: what are these barriers? And: how do Deaf sign language users deal with these barriers? Are these barriers – and solutions – the same across the board, or are some specific to certain trades or countries?Answers to these questions would help us to develop a Curriculum and OER that would take the specific situation of Deaf entrepreneurs into account, instead of, or in addition to, using what is known about mainstream entrepreneurship. Answers to these questions would also be used to inspire and inform Deaf sign language users interested in setting up their own business. Last but not least, answers to these questions would help us identify structural barriers that Deaf entrepreneurs have to deal with in one or all EU countries, and might help point the way to solutions to help Deaf entrepreneurs in all EU member states.The Deaf Enterprise project used three different paths to find answers to these questions:1. We set up a database of Deaf business-owners in EU countries. We used our networks, personal contacts and internet searches. We did not try to be exhaustive, but collected examples of Deaf business owners as varied as possible: from different countries, different trades or professions, different age-groups, and men as well as women. By the end of the project, we have a ‘gallery’ of almost 70 Deaf entrepreneurs from 10 EU countries. For each entrepreneur we included a photo, a link to the website of the business, and relevant information about the business and the business-owner. The database can be found on the Deaf Enterprise website.2. We conducted extensive personal interviews with 10 Deaf entrepreneurs (6 men, 4 women) in 3 EU countries: Denmark, the UK and Italy (the countries of partners in the consortium). The interviews followed a standardized format, asking questions about the business of the person, strategies used, barriers that had to be dealt with, and lessons learned. Most interviews were conducted in International Sign, some in the national Sign Language of the interviewee. Most interviews were captioned in English, some also in Italian. All interviews were posted on the Deaf Enterprise website.3. We developed the Deaf Enterprise Survey to collect data from Deaf entrepreneurs from all EU member states. The results of these activities were published in a report: Deaf Entrepreneurs in Europe. At the same time, together with Deaf trainers, we developed the Deaf Enterprise Curriculum that is now freely accessible on the project’s website. The curriculum includes learning materials and videos of trainers and trainees. It was validated and tested during a transnational Train the Trainer workshop, as well as during two national workshops with Deaf trainers and Deaf participants (UK, IT). Reports of these workshops can also be found on the project’s website.Trainers and participants were very positive about the Deaf Enterprise project and the workshops and were unanimous in their wish that activities started by the Deaf Enterprise consortium be continued and extended, both nationally and transnationally.
