Summary
Join us for an engaging discussion on the latest ideas and challenges in inclusive enterprise education. This event is a great opportunity for educators, researchers, and practitioners to connect and share insights.
The importance of diversity in entrepreneurship is being increasingly recognised. Educators are moving away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach and creating tailored programmes that address the specific needs of diverse groups, including considerations of gender, disability, ethnicity, age, and neurodiversity.
This event will showcase successful examples of impact through inclusive entrepreneurship education. We will highlight the crucial role of external partners, such as local entrepreneur networks, hubs, and competitions, and the relationships these have with entrepreneurship education. These partnerships enrich classroom teaching by helping develop innovative materials and real-world assessments. We will also discuss future opportunities and challenges in expanding inclusive entrepreneurship education.
