Proceedings

Day 1: Monday 10th September
The Changing World for Entrepreneurship Education Development

Day One will set the scene for a positive developmental three-day agenda which will aim to inform and influence UK-wide policy and action for enterprise and entrepreneurship education. We will focus on the changing policy environment for enterprise and entrepreneurship education; update delegates on the latest UK government policy developments; consider the ‘continuous journey’ of enterprise education across sectors; and take a global view of policy and practice from international contributors. The programme will be forward-looking, drawing upon the experience, expertise and knowledge of speakers from North America, China and Europe as well as highly regarded UK experts to inform the discussions and debate of the subsequent days.

3 Key Questions for Day One to address:

  • What are the significant challenges? What is changing in the policy environment and how does this affect the future for entrepreneurship education viz a viz institutions; educators; learners?
  • What needs to change? How can the experiences of other countries help improve institutions/educators in the delivery of entrepreneurship education in the UK? What has been the essence of their success?
  • What can/should we all do? What will the global experts do to share their expertise, build links, give access to useful tools, advice, opportunities to the conference community?
