Teampreneur multicultural impact innovation cooperatives

ongoing

"TEAMIT+ aims to help change the pedagogical model on entrepreneurship and innovation education. Until now, these fields have been focused on the ""Individual Entrepreneur"" and on innovation that is mainly evaluated on the market. With TEAMIT+ we want to show in the long term that in order to meet the objectives of sustainable development, entrepreneurship and innovation must not only be thought differently but also taught differently. Entrepreneurship must become an entrepreneurship that responds to the objectives of sustainable development, it must promote equality and in particular by defending cooperative values. Innovation must now be based not only on market potential but also on responses to environmental and climate issues. In this perspective, the creativity methods taught must take into account the social and environmental benefits of innovation. To achieve this the project will make a territorial diagnosis of European regions to identify societal and economic challenges and understand the situation of different territories. This information will be used to create a novel ""Learning by creating"" learning model that will be later implemented in the trainning programme. TEAMIT+ includes two editions of the programme which consist on three modules in which participants (young people from 16-30 years from VET and HE, jobseekers and imigrants) will learn about climate change awareness and environmental issues, impact innovation and teampreneurship. The consortium will also work in the replicability of the course and will create a replicability guidelile to facilite the replication by other educational centres. In the 2 editions of the course more than 1.300 young people will be benefited as well as other other stakeholders like companies (>80). Main results of the project: TEAMIT+ trainning programme, replication guideline, white book, EU policy recomendation, commitment bookelts, trained volunteer, 20 business projects and entrepreneurs network."
