German is teached in the 5th and 6th grade of primary school and I realy love it. In order to make the lesson interesting and fun we use tablets or the computer and different webtools2 (toondoo, wikispaces, kahoot, learningapps etc), board games and songs.
Have a look at our school

Add here all the skills and attitudes that you can think of.
Being creative, curious and fearless are the most important skills. But many others skills and attitudes are important:
being open minded, innovative, willing to work hard, thinking positive and realistic, optimistic, responsable and confident.

In greek primary schools, where I teach, enterpreneurship is not teached as a subject and only little known as a term. But there are some teachers, who take the advantage of some programms (e.g. etwinning, Erasmus) or do individual activities in different subjects, such as Environmental study or in the flexible zone, where they make their own products and sell them afterwards. 
 There are also some types of primary schools in Greece, called "Experimental schools" where there are offered some extra activities after school called "omilos". This year I'm happy to be working with my colleauge Mr. Kougiourouki Angeliki on the project called "Kids conquering castles and enterpreneurship" where kids from six different countries are working together and getting familiar with terms of enterpreneurship. 
 So it depends mainly on the teachers individual interest and initiative "if" and "how" they want to make their students familiar with this term.

First of all I find this first step of "spotting opportunities" so important. Observing and proposing solutions gives students the opportunity to  put oneself in someone elses place and see things from another perspective. 
This competence could be fostered in the language lessons - as I am a German teacher - as following. 
Students could put themselves in the place of a tourist and think of the most  important phrases, words, questions needed when travelling to Germany or Greece. Students then make a short tourist guide. This makes them learn in an interesting way and help other people.

Creativity can be fostered or nurtured. At the same time, it can be stifled or scorned. We would like you to reflect on creativity in the classroom. In discussing this, we would like to apply the Reverse thinking method (which is actually a method for creative idea generation).
As the term ‘reverse thinking’ itself suggests, instead of adopting the logical, normal manner of looking at a challenge you reverse it, and think about opposite ideas. For instance, if I want to find ways to lose weight, I might ask myself the question “how can I put on more kilos?”.
This method for generating ideas is easier and generally more fun. It lowers fear of saying the wrong thing (as you are talking about bad examples) and stimulate wider dialogue. It also allow us to look at things from a different perspective

There where only very view students, who said they would like to do something creative or innovative. They also said that they would like to work only a few hours and earn a lot of money!]]> 2017-03-14 15:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/valentinas/swxl44bks8ez/wish/160006924 MODUL 2.2: Seeing the value of ideas valentinas https://padlet.com/valentinas/swxl44bks8ez/wish/160041929 2017-03-14 16:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/valentinas/swxl44bks8ez/wish/160041929 MODUL 2.3: Ethical and sustainable thinking valentinas https://padlet.com/valentinas/swxl44bks8ez/wish/160048514 How often do we take our health for granded.
