IO1: Green EntreComp Framework ‘Ideas and Opportunities’ ‘Resources’ ‘Into Action’ Created by UPB, UPIT, CARDET Green-4-Future
2 Greening the EntreComp Framework – An Introduction In response to climate change, there has been a growing demand for the development of a ‘green’ or ‘low carbon’ economy as a means of reconciling economic development and the environment. However, research on green entrepreneurs to date has focused on individual green entrepreneurs, neglecting wider economic and social contexts within which they operate. Entrepreneurs are frequently thought of as national assets to be cultivated, motivated, and remunerated to the greatest possible extent. Great entrepreneurs can change the way we live and work. If successful, their innovations can improve standards of living, create wealth and jobs and contribute to a growing economy. Realising the pivotal role that education plays in the development of entrepreneurship the EntreComp framework was developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. EntreComp was developed to become a reference de facto for any initiative aiming to foster entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens. It consists of 3 interrelated and interconnected competence areas: ‘Ideas and opportunities’, ‘Resources’ and ‘Into action’. Each of the areas is made up of 5 competences, which, together, constitute the building blocks of entrepreneurship as a competence. The first intellectual output of the Green-4-Future project, presented in this document, sets out to reconsider the EntreComp Framework in the context of prevailing green policies. By incorporating environmental and ecological factors into the established EntreComp Framework we have created a key benchmark for entrepreneurship education for the future. The Green EntreComp Framework proposed here is addressed to vocational education actors and all those involved in supporting the development of entrepreneurial activity. GreenEntreComp is relevant to tutors working in both iVET and cVET scenarios and therefore has a broad potential impact and transferability. Besides any pedagogic impact, encouraging new entrepreneurs to green their product or service from the beginning can achieve significant impact for business, for the environment and for individuals throughout society. The Green-4-Future project promotes green entrepreneurship for the future sustainability of society, economy and environment and it a truly innovative undertaking at all levels.
