I would say start by teaching them basic entrepreneural theory and then add in practical and 'fun' components. This can include business idea competitions, fun excursions to businesses they like, having market days where they can sell items of their choice, making interactive business videos and games etc. Assessments and tests should also follow multimodal creative approaches.

You can develop entrepreneurship mind set by increasing selfefficacy.

Dear Khitam Yousuf Shraim,

Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture in Schools. Any ideas about how do we create an entrepreneurship culture in schools ? Developing an entrepreneurial culture in schools is a good idea and it can be done in various approachers. The first approach I recommend is to present various lectures which address the subject of entrepreneurial culture. Moreover, it is possible to organize small discussion groups in which the entrepreneurial culture can be discussed. Thirdly, preliminary courses which deal with entrepreneurial culture can be developed and offered in the school.

Entrepreneurial culture can be defined as the attitude, values, skills, and power of a group or individuals working in an institute or an organization to generate income. Main elements of entrepreneurial culture — openness, adaptability, results and rewards can be translated directly to schools.

Dear Mahfuz Judeh,

Thnak you very much for your clarification of the subject of Entrepreneurial culture.

Project work (learning-by-doing) in small groups could be a creative way to learn about entrepreneurial culture. I would focus on unmet human needs and forming task forces to close these 'market gaps' of the societal fabric.

Dear Professor Stephen I. Ternyik,

I fully agree with you that learning by doing could be a creative way to learn about social entrepreneurial culture. But what should be done in advance is that the students have to learn in class how learning by doing functions in lectures and the thereby following project works.

Thank all of you for sharing your ideas!

Yes, I think that I can help you with this. I have done it a few times since the 1990s and therefore evaluated many (+100approx) schools in Sweden whos have tried, and some in the USA. You are most welcome back, [email protected]

Do you think that we need to develop national curriculum framework for each stage or just designing different learning activities ?

Dear Khitam Yousuf Shraim,

Does your question deal with creating an Entrepreneurial Culture in Schools or you are asking about the need to develop national curriculum framework for each stage ot just designing different learning activities in general?

Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture in Schools by:

- Awareness-raising programs.

- Entrepreneur development programs.

- workshops.

- Competitions and Quiz.

- Motivating meeting with to support entrepreneurial Culture .

At Umass we had legitimate "contests" and teams were mentored by faculty ( volunteers). They had to develop the market data, build an elevator pitch as well as a more formal presentation. Teams were rated and the top 5 presented to "real" potential investors, primarily attorneys, bankers and a cadre of "Angel Investors".

The investors rated the teams and the top 2 went on to a state-wide competition as well as receiving $1,000-$10,000 to refine their offering and prepare for State-wide competition. After the local event, the teams were free to speak with the judges panel and the panel was free to invest.

For younger groups the model can be scaled back, but the idea of a competition, real potential investors ( possibly parents with connections) and very real prizes ( pick your own number of zeros depending upon the situation.

I taught a course in Entrepreurism at Empire State College (N.Y.'s)

University without walls) and offered the students each $1,000 of my own money upon completion of the course and a ready to show business plan that I had investor friends of mine review and make recommendations and/or invest. The course was 100% remote with the exceptions of 2 3-day residencies in a hotel outside of Albany (log before remote learning of today)

I also learned a process from DuPont called RVA ( Rapid Value Analysis) which is very structured and quite fast, hence rapid. I have the materials for that if anyone is interested. This processed developed by DuPont was designed to amp up the new product streams. They felt that the last real innovation there was Teflon® and that most employees were so enamored with the perks and benefits that DuPont provided, that they dare not take a chance of failure and so studied any new proposal forever and didn't commit to green lighting. It asked for the information and answers needed to move the process on to the next step of investment, not the complete ;much ready state.

Hope this helps

Let students apply an entrepreneurial/business concept theory with a learning tool, such as a reframing matrix or force field analysis, in a market environmental setting or at a shopping mall to bring back their findings for sharing with other students on what they have truly learned from the business success, challenges, or failures.

Dear Ravee Art Phoewhawm,

Thank you very much for your ideas. If I have understood you correctly, your answer starts with the second level that is the application of an entrepreneurial (business) concept theory with a learning tool, such as a reframing matrix or force field analysis, in a market environmental setting or at a shopping mall to bring back their findings for sharing with other students on what they have truly learned from the business success, challenges, or failures. We might differ a little bit and that is before the application of an entrepreneurial business (concepts) theory with a learning tool, such as a reframing matrix or force field analysis, the students have to learn all those concepts and models in a theoretical course. Thereafter, it will be poosible to make the application as you suggested. What you have suggested is not wrong, but we have to go backwards and start one step back in which the students can learn the concepts and models that you have suggested to be appleid.

Nah - this is a myth. "Entrepreneurship benefits from the risk-taking culture." Entrepreneurs don´t take risks. they maybe take changes. The reason what this myth is ongoing is that those other people who don´t see that same thing as the entrepreneur sees that opportunity as a risk. But they can not see the same thing as the entrepreneur in it self, is the one who sees this first. " I am glad to invite you all to Disney world, and all of you feel sorry for Walter who could be here today. But I can assure you, he saw this 30 yrs ago" A little bit like that

Enterprise culture in schools can be developed using different methods including student-centered techniques. Following is an idea about enterprise culture building in schools.

\Creativity and innovation reinforce enterprise learning. Aid creativity and out-of-the-box thinking in students. Thinking outside the box for finding solutions may prove efficient if enough time is provided. Give small pointers to students, praise originality, and avoid spoon-feeding. In real life, journey from point A to B is incredibly diverse and challenging, especially in enterprises, so encouraging creativity and innovation in students can help with real-life challenges.

Dear Dr Muhammad Salman Shabbir,

Thank you very much for your reply above and for me it seems to be an appropriate answer for the iddur or subject of Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture in Schools whihc has been under discussion for the last two weeks by researchers from different parts of the world.

Estamos de acuerdo uno de las motivaciones en las escuelas sería sobre el emprendimiento, así como la cultura financiera, iniciando con saber ahorrar desde edades menores, conjuntamente con la parte cognitiva y emocional, prácticamente todos los países necesitamos personas creativas e innovadores en la producción y servicios que creen fuentes de trabajo.

Dear Juan Carlos Apaza Paucara,

I appreciate very much your attempt to contribute to the ongoing discussion. However, as you have written in Spanish I do not understand what you have written. I would thus liketo ask you if you can write in English so that myself and others who do not understand Spanish will be to undertand your contribution on the ongoing discussion.

In Latin America, our population is very entrepreneurial, it would seem that the challenge is for them to have the skills to do it well and not encourage them to be entrepreneurs.

Dear Antonio Franco-Crespo,

Thank you very much for the above answer and for the clarification concerning

Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture in Schools. However, as you have written if the Latin American population is very entrepreneurial it would mean that iit has the entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial culture. But even if the skills are there it is not difficult to create the culture as the population is already entrepreneurial.

We agree, one of the motivations in schools would be about entrepreneurship, as well as financial culture, starting with knowing how to save from a young age, also with the cognitive and emotional part, practically all countries need creative and innovative people in production and services that create jobs.

yes Antonio Franco-Crespo Latin america is high on entrepreneurship. I saw and

Raed in GEM report that - 5.2 BRAZIL: MOVING TOWARD MORE SMALL-SCALE ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY Brazil has exhibited a distinct political landscape over the past 20 years, where the emphasis moved from pegging the value of the real to the U.S. dollar and privatizing public services and stateowned companies, to an emphasis on combatting income inequalities while also struggling with corruption scandals. TEA rates rose in 2009 and 2010, then declined in 2011 as a shift occurred in the country’s leadership. A subsequent upward climb led to an all-time high in 2015, accompanied by a high proportion of necessity-motivated entrepreneurship (Figure 21). Established business ownership rates exhibited a similar pattern. The recession period from 2014 through 2017 did not reverse this trend, as there were few options for individuals to become (or stay) employed. This is reflected in the high proportion of necessitymotivated entrepreneurship noted previously in this report. This report also indicated that only 31% of adults in Brazil thought there were good opportunities for starting businesses. This combination of necessity and few good opportunities suggests both a need for people to generate income, but few prospects for accomplishing this with much reward. Additionally, Brazil falls near the bottom of the NECI rankings (48 out of 54), with particularly low ratings on government support, taxes and bureaucracy, suggesting constraints on activity such as growing a business. Hence, the political and economic climate in Brazil has resulted in a high level of entrepreneurial activity, including sustainable activity, as supported by high established business ownership rates. At the same time, Brazil shows low results in terms of growth expectations and innovation, suggesting that entrepreneurs contribute to the economy based on their high collective participation levels, rather than from any impact at the average individual level. The low rates of entrepreneurial employee activity are also in line with this analysis, showing little ability for employees to stimulate growth of the companies they work for through entrepreneurial activity.

I question the need to create an entrepreneurship culture in schools. Why not inculcate a love of creativity and play? Creating a safe space for children to experiment, and solve problems by any means of praxis that interests them, alongside fuelling a natural curiosity for the environment and society is more important. With a good education, founded in creativity, a sense of curiosity will enable anyone to learn how to set up a business from a book--when the time is right for them. In the meantime, they will have gained the skills necessary to respond to a volatile, uncertain world without fear of anxiety. A natural resilience to changes in their environment.

David Atkinson

You are so right ,, I think at least, the same way. This with curiosity is the most important thing. Exactly what is my conclusion in my TED talk what’s so special about entrepreneurs. ( Stefan Lindström:: What's so special about entrepreneurs? | TED Talk )

And as you write here, not to learn to be an entrepreneur in school, because it's like the wrong way at least I think so. Entrepreneurship does not by definition lead to curiosity, but curiosity can sure lead to entrepreneurship.

David Atkinson and the need of intuition, and trust - your intuition! That sure comes from play. And not the organized play like today. But good old go down to the rink and see ´who is there and to play with. Organize the game within the group and other kids and with them, without parents !!!! - and play and be creative and then grow your trust for yourself and your intuitions. There we have = entrepreneurship
