Young vocational learners need an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to act entrepreneurially in order to actively and successfully shape the economy and society of tomorrow. This includes competencies such as initiative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, communication skills, the ability to work collaboratively, as well as creativity and innovation. At present, the topic of entrepreneurial thinking and action is not sufficiently addressed in Swiss vocational schools. The project “Entrepreneurial Thinking and Action in Swiss Vocational Schools: Economic, Social and Ethical Dimensions” addresses this gap through the myidea programme.
That is why, as a non-profit association, we are committed to strengthening entrepreneurial thinking and acting in education. As a Swiss center, we focus on vocational learners and vocational schools, and multiply our impact by working closely with teachers.
Through programs, events, and structured learning materials, we bring together interested individuals and key organizations to promote an entrepreneurial Switzerland.
Promote and develop entrepreneurial thinking and acting among young people in Switzerland. Network with interesting partners and become part of our initiative. Together we learn from each other and expand our network.
Our active members are entitled to vote and can be elected. They contribute their ideas and actively work on the realisation of the association’s purpose.
Ambassadors are committed to the purpose of the association and carry entrepreneurial thinking and acting out into the world. Therefore, they have an advisory say within the framework of the present statutes.
Passive members identify with our association and support our projects and fields of action with their membership fee.
Independent sponsors help us to achieve the purpose of the association – with individual services in return.
