Spotting opportunities kmbouk https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/156463866 Take a few minutes to think about situations from every part of life where this competence could be fostered. Suggest ways for your school to support the empowerment of students in spotting opportunities. Share your answers in the Padlet below. (Image credit: shutterstock/alphaspirit)

It would be fruitful if we create and motivate our students to learn through their activities the meaning of entrepreneurship.This perspective would help them from their young age to distinguish future opportunities and tο have a long-term view in what they do.

How do they imagine themselves as successful professionals? Would they work at all? Please tell them that they can be very innovative in their vision: maybe they wish to work 3 hours per day, or a few days a year. Ask them to think about work in different terms that nowadays.

This is an exercise that i repeat many times during the lessons of Greek language, mostly when we discuss about the their future jobs and the new business opportunities.
What I have found is that children are not ready yet to express with certainty what really would like to do in the future and most of them are still in a process of exploring their desires.]]> 2017-03-12 07:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159473512 2.2 Seeing the value of ideas kmbouk https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159473879 How would you introduce entrepreneurial learning in your classroom? How could you foster entrepreneurial competences in your students? How can entrepreneurship be part of your subject? Use pen and paper and make a mind map of your ideas and concrete steps, including examples of activities that come to your mind.

This is my mind map]]> 2017-03-12 07:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159473879 2.2 Seeing the value of ideas kmbouk https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159474112 2017-03-12 07:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159474112 2.3 Ethical and sustainable thinking - kmbouk https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/159474146 Activity: Can you think of ethical questions/doubts that you can use in the classroom with your students, similar to the real life dilemmas?

Our life is full of our ethical questions/doubts and decisions often are based on them. Education is clearly marked by such questions, such as how easily can you explain to a weak student why his performance is so low without necessarily doing reference to his skills.
----------------------
A few days ago I was confronted with the following ethical question. I had to choose some students for a one-act play and one of them clunged to assume a role although he can not memorize not even a suggestion. What would be the answer to his requirement?

I will choose the following two:
Creativity: It is certainly the ability to find solutions and propose new ideas, not necessarily following the beaten track, especially adding to secure and known ideas a renewal air.
Ethical and sustainable thinking:
Proposing new ideas, doesn't mean it is not necessary to consider and analyze the impact of the future actions and the probability to collide with the aspirations and beliefs of some of our fellow human beings. Therefore, the average between solution to the desire and responsibility of the options must be found.

Write down 2 goals (one short-term goal, to be achieved next week and one long-term goal, to be achieved in 1 year) in your personal or professional life and then add the necessary steps to accomplish those goals. Create a word document with your goals and steps and upload it to this Padlet

Volos is one of the largest and most attractive cities in Greece as well as one of the country’s most prominent ports. The modern-day city, built near the site of ancient Iolcos, dominates the region of Magnesia from its position at the foot of Mount Pelion overlooking the Pagasetic Gulf. This is one of the most beautiful areas in Thessaly, in the centre of Greece (Volos is situated 320km N of Athens and 219km S of Thessaloniki) combining the allure of the sea with the mystical charm of the Centaurs’ mountain]]> 2017-03-19 16:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/161005692 3.6 Resources overview https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/161006103 2017-03-19 16:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmbouk/3v9umdecc9o0/wish/161006103
