The consortium desires: to better exploit its network of complementary infrastructures in11 European countries; to create a powerful incentive for more teachers; to engage theirstudents in entrepreneurship education, in international exchange and cooperation. Withthe initiative proposed here, Enterprise without Borders (EWB), the consortium intendsto mobilize its international potential for the benefit of more young people and improveits local expertise. EWB lets students try running a real enterprise while they are still inschool and makes links between these mini-companies across borders. It is reinforcedby specialized training for teachers. Teachers create demand for such programmeswhen they see that students “learn by doing” and are highly motivated by making andselling their own products or services.The aim of the project is to establish 1000 new mini-companies and establish linksbetween them (= 350 joint ventures). Over the next three years, 7200 students willexperience setting up and running their own real ‘international’ enterprise with thesupport of 360 teachers and 360 business volunteers. Out of the 360 teachers, 20 willbe identified as trainers-for-trainers (multipliers for the programme in the future).The project will impact:1. 7,200 new students age 15-192. 360 new trained teachers3. 360 new trained business volunteers4. 20 trainers-for-trainers5. 360 schools6. 7200 students will be influenced by the already trained teachers who willcontinue to deliver the programme in the second and third year to newstudentsThe project will produce:1. 1080 mini-companies over 3 years2. 350 joint-ventures between student companies generated by the project3. 11 language versions of training and classroom materials for teachers andbusiness volunteers; for students; kits for mini-companies; implementationguides4. 12 local showcase events such as trade fairs or competitions where EWBcompanies will participate and be recognized (one per each participatingcountry)5.
