The project has set out three principal objectives: (i) to cultivate innovative curricular methods that instil a cross-domain entrepreneurship mindset in students, addressing both social and economic challenges in collaboration with relevant stakeholders; (ii) to enhance digital competencies with practical applications in developing skills essential for fostering entrepreneurial activities, ensuring that these competencies are integral to core curricular models; (iii) to operate within a transnational environment, enabling participants to glean insights from each other and share best practices, while addressing pan-European challenges and perspectives that enrich and expand project outcomes.
Project Activities
Our focus has been on transforming transnational cooperation into robust curricular material that addresses the digital skills and cross-domain entrepreneurial competencies of students, equipping them to confront societal challenges. To achieve this, the project has anchored its outcomes in the following activities: (i) mapping digital skills and cross-domain entrepreneurial competencies; (ii) identifying or customizing existing curricular materials in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs); (iii) facilitating international student projects to foster skill and competence acquisition through action learning; (iv) engaging with local communities to implement actions that enhance the entrepreneurial role of universities (the third mission of universities); (v) creating a pedagogical and informative handbook detailing the actions taken and results achieved.
The handbook on "Digital skills and cross-domain entrepreneurial competencies" stands as the primary project outcome. It enables educators, teachers, and trainers globally to learn from a meticulously planned process, providing support to local groups associated with civic society in enhancing their understanding of effectively addressing societal challenges through dedicated digital society skills and enriched entrepreneurial mindsets.
The handbook is open access and available online.
