By looking beyond borders, we want to show which approaches to entrepreneurship education exist in Europe.

Unternehmer Campus – YoungPreneur, Fabienne Hürlimann, Gewerbeverband Basel-Stadt
The YoungPreneur promotion programme aims to teach learners important cross-vocational skills that are required in the labour market but are not sufficiently trained or not trained at all during vocational training due to fixed structures.
