Content: Entrepreneurship The goal of the module is to develop entrepreneurial mind-set and culture among students and teachers. “Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship can be broadly defined as the capacity to turn ideas into action, ideas that generate value for someone other than oneself (Entre-Comp definition).” Turning ideas into action is the basic idea behind the NET-ENT MODULE. In particular, it enables the participants to experience the creative process – from an idea to a commercially successful product. The process itself is not known in advance, we develop it on an ongoing basis, depending on where the ideas take us. However, we know the entrepreneurial skills we need to develop (Part 1) and some facts we should keep in mind to create a commercially successful product from the initial idea (Part 2). The module consists of: Part 1 Personal Growth and Development of Entrepreneurial Mindset Self-awareness Motivation and Vision Creativity Spotting Opportunities and Self-efficacy Perseverance Part 2 Development of a Commercially Successful Product (Entreprise) Generating Ideas Valuing Ideas Prototyping Final Product All this is described in details in the Handbook for Students. The Handbook provides support for the entire process; however, the users can decide for themselves which tools and resources they will use during the process. It is an adventure through some unknown paths towards entrepreneurial design and success, and in this adventure, you are your own navigator, researcher and coach.

Method: Networking – Knowledge Integration and Experiential Learning The idea of the module is to join teachers and students from three different programs (business and marketing, design – industrial and graphic, production) to work together in the process of creating a commercially successful product. At certain stages of the process, we also expect the experts from the above-mentioned fields to be invited to the project and to participate in different ways (adjusted lec-tures, mentoring, interviews, learning about practices in companies). The team combines three different areas of work (design, marketing, production) and consists of: - teachers from each field/education program, - students from each field/education program, - professionals/experts from the labor market (at least one for each field of expertise or according to the needs). Innovation in Learning and Teaching: Coaching Teachers no longer appear only in their traditional role. They become mentors/coaches and use innovative teaching methods in their learning process. In the phase of idea evaluation, a teacher should invite experts from companies and teachers from other schools/programs to join the learning process; or, if needed, look for some other links that may be helpful to develop the idea. In the NET-ENT MODULE, teachers and students actually co-create the learning/teaching experience (other people may also participate if it is beneficial for the process). To implement this innovative method in education, new approaches to teaching and learning are needed (Coaching – Coaching Tools and Skills). Teachers are the ones who can stimulate and encourage students. They should establish a professional, inspiring and supportive relation-ships with their students, and support them along the process with adequate questions (from first steps to progress monitoring and until the final goal is reached). We describe this in details in the Manual for Teachers, where you can also find several exercises suitable for the work with students (Chapter: Training of Trainers – Coaching – Innovation in Learning and Teaching). Students have the privilege of choosing their own ideas they want to develop, which can be a great source of motivation. They develop essential skills and attitudes such as creativity, initiative, collaborative planning, tenacity, teamwork, resilience, understanding of risk and sense of responsibility. This helps them put their ideas into action and become self-confident to be able to satisfy the needs of the real market. Another benefit of participating in this module is to recognize the importance of cooperation between different areas to produce a successful product. Already in their school years, students establish some necessary connections that make it easier for them to open their own micro or small companies in the future (early networking).

NET-ENT Module Duration and Evaluation (Assessment) In the table below, you can see the number of hours planned for each part of the process. However, these numbers can be changed and adjusted to the user’s needs. In this proposal, the module contains 100 hours and 5 credits (20 hours – 1 credit point). Also, the users can customize it according to any specific require-ments. All the participants of the module (students, teachers and external experts) acquire certain competences during the process and receive the certificate of participation. It is important to participate in the process from initial idea to final product. Assessment is not at the forefront. Self-reflection within the process is more important. Throughout the process, we must keep asking ourselves: Where are we on the way to reach the goal? What else do we need to reach the goal? Which questions still need to be answered? Who can we ask, include in the learning process? Who else can we learn from? You can evaluate the competences using the EntreComp Appendix: The full EntreComp framework. It is available under The Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/ eur-scientific-and-technical-research-reports/entrecomp-entrepreneurship-competence-framework, page 23 – 35, page 18 and 19).
