The “Entredu” contest aims to inspire and encourage European teachers of primary and secondary education to design and implement in their class learning scenarios that develop entrepreneurial skills.

Entrepreneurial skills centre around attitudes (soft skills), such as persistence, networking and self-confidence on the one hand and enabling skills (hard skills) on the other hand, including basic start- up knowledge, business planning, financial literacy and managerial skills.

The contest is targeting teachers from different European countries and invites them to design learning scenarios that teach entrepreneurial skills to pupils of primary and secondary education. Effective entrepreneurship education policies and programmes focus on developing these entrepreneurial competencies and skills, which are transferable and beneficial in many work contexts. The aim is not only to strengthen the capacity and desire of more individuals to start their own enterprises, but also to develop an entrepreneurial culture in society.

Entredu contest will offer 8 prizes. Contest winners will be awarded with two different prizes:

• Five teachers will attend a five-day training seminar of Entredu 2014 summer school, 13^th -18^th July in a seaside resort at the southern coast of Attica (info available at http://entredu-training.ea.gr/).
• Three teachers will attend EDEN Annual Conference in Zagreb, Croatia, 10^th – 13^th of June 2014 (info available at http://www.eden-online.org/2014_zagreb.html).
