4. Why?
“Europe faces a number of challenges that can only
be met if it has innovative, well-educated, and
entrepreneurial citizens who, whatever their walk of
life, have the spirit and inquisitiveness to think in new
ways, and the courage to meet and adapt to the
challenges facing them.”

5. Why?
“Attention should be particularly focused on the
development of entrepreneurial skills, because they
not only contribute to new business creation but also
to the employability of young people.”

living experiences and the fulfillment of learning and
personal goals.
We have created a WordPress web page where pupils can include all their reflections
about the learning experience accross this project.
