What is the style of the programme?
You will be engaged in this intensive programme by “learning by doing”. You will be invited to work with other colleagues on the programme and share your ideas. You will be shown tasks and activities that you can run with students on your return and you will be provided with the experience and materials to make changes to your approach as soon as you return to your institution/university. The style will be very inclusive, so you will be asked to share, and get involved. Most of the work will be undertaken in small groups, which will allow you to work with everyone on the programme and experience different teaching methods together. You will also be encouraged to bring your experience to the summer school and outline your approaches, sharing your experiences with colleagues.

What happens after the residential programme?
You will leave the programme with a clear idea of how to fulfil your 3EP commitment (project) successfully. You will be connected with a mentor who will help you and you will be supported to complete this, so that you can be awarded your “fellowship” status.
Attending 3EP helped me understand how to include entrepreneurial skill-set development into software engineering curriculum. During just a few very intense days I got concrete ideas that I already have applied in my teaching, as well as a broader view on entrepreneurial education in an academic curriculum. I strongly encourage educators willing to add an entrepreneur flavor to their teaching to participate 3EP, regardless of discipline.
