Entrepreneurship Education: An analysis of Countries' Orientations and Universities' Initiatives

Abstract

This paper is about the state of the art in the field of the entrepreneurship education around the world. The goal of the document is to determine possible strategies to encourage entrepreneurship in the countries of the south of Europe, taking as a reference the north of Europe’s models. First of all there is an introduction to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project (GEM), with an explanation of the current situation of a few countries. The second part of the paper is about the entrepreneurship education. Some questions will be posed and answered, and it will be discussed if the entrepreneurship can be teached or not. Finally, the entrepreneurship education’s methods will be adapted to the education politics of the south Europe countries, trying to have a handbook to develop these skills between the students of these countries.
