Description of the project
Summary
The ENTREPRENEURSHIP NATURE-WISE course for teenagers comprises 4 topic-based, innovative, intensive workshops that focus on the core skills required to communicate efficiently and confidently in a variety of professional business contexts related to nature. Each workshop is task-based and skills-based, enabling students to practice the necessary skills for different realistic workplace situations. Overall, the course is structured so that every workshop is linked to the following ones and improvement is achieved progressively. Emphasis is placed on inclusion, as students from different classes and abilities will be working together, as well as natural surroundings, as visits will be conducted to businesses that are related to nature and products derived from it. Nature can not only provide for us, but also enable the creation of profitable businesses, and the whole progress of the course will lead to this realization and discussion.
