ENTER-CBL - Co-funded by European Union

ENTER-CBL (Entrepreneurship through Challenge-Based Learning) is a collaborative project funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme (grant agreement no 2023-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000160857). The project aims to enhance the entrepreneurial mindset of students through the integration of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) into higher education curricula.

Project Goals:

• Boosting Entrepreneurial Skills: The primary objective is to equip students with practical entrepreneurial skills by involving them in real-world challenges. Through hands-on learning experiences, students will develop problem-solving abilities, creative thinking, and business acumen.
• Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) Methodology: CBL is a student-centered, multidisciplinary approach that encourages students to actively engage in solving complex societal challenges. By working in teams and developing solutions for real-life issues, students enhance their critical thinking, collaboration, and entrepreneurial spirit.
• Fostering Innovation in Education: The project aims to innovate teaching practices by incorporating CBL into entrepreneurship education. By engaging students with real-world problems, the project seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
• International Collaboration: ENTER-CBL involves partners from universities and institutions across Europe. This collaboration promotes the exchange of best practices, cultural perspectives, and methodologies in entrepreneurship education.
• Creating a Network of Educators and Students: The project will establish a sustainable network of educators, students, and industry professionals dedicated to advancing entrepreneurial education through CBL. This network will facilitate long-term cooperation, knowledge sharing, and the continued development of CBL-based programs.

Key Activities:

• Workshops and Training Sessions: Educators and students will participate in training sessions on CBL methodology, equipping them with the necessary tools to implement this approach in entrepreneurial education.
• Development of Educational Materials: The project will produce learning materials and toolkits for both students and educators, designed to guide the implementation of CBL in various learning environments.
• Collaborative Challenge-Based Projects: Students will engage in interdisciplinary teams to tackle real-world challenges, working with mentors from academia and industry to develop viable entrepreneurial solutions.

Impact:
The ENTER-CBL project is expected to have a significant impact on higher education by promoting a dynamic learning environment that nurtures entrepreneurial thinking. It will enable students to become proactive problem-solvers, capable of addressing societal and business challenges, while also fostering cross-border cooperation and knowledge transfer between European universities.
