Abstract

Within the framework of the project Raising Awareness Of Pupils and Teachers On Introduction Of Education For Entrepreneurship In Elementary School, the event called „Children entrepreneur week“ was organized in 2011. It was composed of four workshops oriented on entrepreneurial learning which were conducted by University College of Economics, Entrepreneurship and Management “Nikola Šubić Zrinski” in cooperation with Elementary School Prečko Zagreb. During the each workshop one product was produced and the pupils have learnt the basic economic terms: entrepreneurship, enterprise, production, product, team work, procurement of material resources, creation of added value, selling, price, spending, market, advertisement etc. The methodology of workshops was the teamwork which simulated production process. The techniques of interactive learning which have stimulative effect and facilitate adoption of material as well as functional knowledge and skills were used. During creation of products the pupils adopted, besides the economic terms, different entrepreneurial skills appropriate to their age: innovativeness, creativity, selfconfidence, perseverance, etc. In this article, above mentioned skills are described by concrete examples of workshops activities.
