ABOUT THE PROJECT

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.

Objectives of the project

The overall aim of ENTER-CBL project is, on the one hand, to create a study programme “NextGen Entrepreneurs” for students from four different European universities, developed on the basis of an innovative CBL Methodology for Entrepreneurship Education, and, on the other hand, to develop and to provide training, materials and best practices in relation to CBL framework.
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.
