3EP

Themes

The key themes covered at the Summer Academy are:

• Entrepreneurial Educational Challenges: Role as educator and institutional catalyst
• Teaching the Entrepreneurship Mindset
• Teaching Entrepreneurial Behaviours, Attitudes and Skills
• Opportunity Recognition and New Venture Development
• Developing Entrepreneurship Education Strategies

Style of Learning

You will be engaged in this intensive programme by “learning by doing”. You will be invited to work with other colleagues during the Academy to share your ideas. Also, you will be shown tasks and activities which you can use with your students when you return to your institution, in addition you will be provided with the experience and materials to make changes to your personal approach and teaching methods.

The style of learning during the Academy will be very inclusive and interactive, 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 other participants and understand different teaching methods and ideas together, so you will be encouraged to bring your knowledge to the Academy and outline your approaches, sharing your practices with colleagues.

In Liverpool we will be working with the Global Entrepreneurship Congress to link up with and attend the GEC Main Event involving entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, economic policy makers from around the world.

Evening Programme

The programme will continue your networking, sharing and learning experiences into the evening of the Academy. This aspect of the programme is compulsory part to 3EP and all delegates should attend to make the most of your experiences with us. There will also be a free evening for you to explore and relax.

The full programme outline is downloadable at the bottom of this page.

Pre Academy Requirements

You will be required to undertake some pre-work and some reading before attending the Academy – details will be sent to you in advance.

Post Academy

You will be expected to leave the programme with a clear idea of how to fulfil your 3EP commitment to complete your project successfully. You will be connected with a mentor who will support you in this process, so you can be awarded your Fellowship status (see Commitment, Fellowship and Support for more information).
