How does sustainable entrepreneurship contribute to society?

Description of the Topic

This game is aimed at working with students in VET Entrepreneurship and Sustainability. Throughout it, you will be able to work on those basic competencies related to sustainable entrepreneurship.

The game is adapted to be playable by all VET students, regardless of the educational needs. If we want to promote new business ideas among our most vulnerable students and turn them into sustainable ventures, there are some mechanisms that can be applied to take the first steps in the right direction:

  1. Understanding the impact of the business we want to create
  2. Prioritizing the local environment
  3. Addressing climate change
  4. Promoting alternative modes of transportation
  5. Having a sustainable website

 

However, for all of this to be applied to the entrepreneurial ideas of our students with special educational needs, it will be necessary to implement a system of supports and aids that accompany the students throughout the process.
