The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of entrepreneurial thinking and action. The course enables students to understand the importance of entrepreneurial behavior in society because entrepreneurship is not reserved only for those who want to start their own business venture, but also includes entrepreneurial thinking, generating ideas, recognizing opportunities and taking risks in all situations. The course emphasizes the importance of building the capacities of individuals and organizations to deal with the complexity and uncertainty of the environment, encouraging sustainable and inclusive action that contributes to economic growth and innovation, reducing inequality, and quality education and lifelong learning. Through the course, students will be introduced to the different contexts in which the entrepreneurial process takes place – from start-ups, corporate and social entrepreneurship to entrepreneurship in public and non-profit organizations – and to the diverse groups that can participate in entrepreneurial initiatives, including women, youth, migrants and older people, thus promoting inclusivity and gender equality.
