About Our Project
Entrepreneurship and innovation help individuals become independent and channel their creativity into creating something of their own in this competitive world. Studying entrepreneurship and innovation enhances one’s analytical and logical skills that enable one to solve any problem. Indeed, entrepreneurship is not just another subject; it is a mindset that helps individuals develop nimble thinking so they can identify problems and find solutions that create value. These analytical and interpersonal skills transcend the workplace, which is why entrepreneurship is so important for students. These important advantages of entrepreneurship and innovation have united 6 schools from 5 countries (Serbia, Turkey, Portugal, Romania, and North Macedonia) within the framework of a common goal. Our project was successfully completed with the selfless work of the partners under the coordination of Serbia. The project was addressed to students 14 to 18 years old.
