Abstract

Entrepreneurship education faces several challenges related to pedagogical-didactic principles and methodologies adopted in delivering entrepreneurial learning. More than half of EU member states have limited or no guidelines for entrepreneurship teaching, while the training of teachers and trainers emerges as an imperative need. Hence, the present manuscript attempts to discuss the pedagogical theories and principles based on which the InnoGFEED project was developed. The authors discuss the rationale, objectives and expected impact in relation to policy conclusions and recommendations, contributing to the broader dialogue on pedagogical and methodological considerations that need to be taken into account regarding entrepreneurship education.
