COMPLETED
Within the Corredor Azul Network (a cross-cutting cooperation project that includes the municipalities of Sines, Santiago do Cacém, Vendas Novas, Montemor-o-Novo, Arraiolos, Évora, Estremoz, Vila Viçosa and Elvas, Sines Tecnopolo was the implementing entity of the “Empreender na Escola” Project, which aimed to promote entrepreneurship in 12 schools through this entrepreneurship education program and which served to develop entrepreneurial skills in 300 young people in the 9th and 10th grades.
"Entrepreneurship at School" was based on the creation of a company in the classroom and proposed that students manage their own company for a school year. The creation was not formalized, but the students simulated the entire process of creating and managing the company. The students, as partners in this company, did real business with real money. The company created in class established commercial relations with another "company", with the aim of "importing and "exporting" products between them. The imported products were sold on the local market and the results were subsequently analyzed and the profits obtained were distributed, as in any real company.
