3rd Entrepreneurship Education: Share & Learn Symposium

The European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship and the GROWTHhub project at TU Dublin and South East Technological University are delighted to  invite you to participate in the 3rd Entrepreneurship Education Share and Learn  Symposium. The symposium is an opportunity for entrepreneurship educators in  Ireland to gather and share their entrepreneurship education innovations and  pedagogical practices, and takes place at the South East Technological University 
Waterford campus on Tuesday October 29th, 2024. The event builds on the success  of the symposium in 2022 & 2023, which included presentations from entrepreneurship educators across Ireland.

The objective of the Share and Learn Symposium is to expose participants to new  practices, and provide opportunities for feedback and discussion. Suitable  topics include, but are not limited to the following:

  • development and delivery of student-centred enterprise and entrepreneurship courses

  • pedagogical practice in entrepreneurship education

  • extra-curricular initiatives supporting entrepreneurship education

  • facilitation of experiential entrepreneurship learning

  • integration of professional education and entrepreneurship education

  • innovation in social entrepreneurship

  • innovation in sustainability and green entrepreneurship education

  • case studies of entrepreneurship education initiatives

It is intended that presentations will share knowledge and expertise, and foster  the practical, professional and intellectual skills of participants. Please note  that the purpose is not to present research findings per se, but inspire enhanced  entrepreneurship education by sharing and adoption of innovative pedagogical  practices. 

On the day, an Entrepreneurship Education Innovation Award will be nominated by those attending.

Keynote Speaker: Professor Andy Penaluna, University of Wales, Trinity Saint David and former Chair of the UK's Quality Assurance Agency on enterprise and entrepreneurship education. 

We are delighted to welcome Professor Andy Penaluna as this year's keynote  speaker. Andy is Professor Emeritus of the University of Wales, Trinity Saint  David and former Chair of the UK's Quality Assurance Agency on enterprise and  entrepreneurship education.
