Sažetak
According to the decision of Ministry of Science, Education and Sports on introduction of the entrepreneurial competencies into the National Curriculum for Preschool Education, general compulsory and secondary school education, the Educational Group Zrinski in cooperation with Ministry of Economy, Labour and Entrepreneurship conducts the project called „Childrens entrepreneur week“. This project for general compulsory education was conducted by team composed of Educational Group Zrinski and teachers of Elementary School Prečko Zagreb, Sandra Lovrenčić, Davorin Novosel and Marijana Vrančić. The goal of the project is to raise public awareness, especially of pupils, teachers and parents, of the need for introduction of education for entrepreneurship into the general compulsory education, and achievement of basic entrepreneurial competencies from the earliest age of children. The project is created as a set of workshops designated for pupils and teachers. Pupil’s workshops were organized according to stages of children’s development. The goal of every workshop was to invent and produce the product which would be presented and afterwards sold in local community. Therefore, children have been adopted basic entrepreneurial skills and terms (entrepreneurship, enterprise, production, product, team work, procurement of material resources, creation of added value…) During the teacher’s workshops participants exposed their stances and experiences about entrepreneurship. Most of teachers were consented that entrepreneurial competencies could be introduced in educational system as inter-subject thematic units.
This project has proved that teachers and wider public recognize entrepreneurship as an important competency which should be acquired during the children’s education, influencing in that way economic and overall prosperity of our country.
