"We are living at a time of profound technological, social and environmental changes. These changes are transforming the societies, and at the same time they challenge the education systems and put question on how do we educate and empower the next generations? How do we empower young people to succeed in 21st century and solve the rapid changes we are facing? Developing and promoting entrepreneurship education has been one of the key policy objectives of the EU institutions and Member States for many years. Too often, the value of entrepreneurship is only considered in economic value, creating profits for the individuals at (high) cost for the people or the environment. Making profits by doing harm to people and nature disengages young people more than it empowers them. If we have entrepreneurship education to only teach young people how to make profits, we invest in sustaining and empowering unjust societies. Social entrepreneurship by contrast is explicitly about creating value for others: economic, social and environmental value. This is the entrepreneurship the world needs more. There is growing body of evidence suggesting that young people place increasing importance on values and ethical practices: we see the rise of zero waste generations, green activists. Entrepreneurship education is essential not only to shape the mind-sets of young people, but also to provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are central to developing an entrepreneurial culture and new set of role models. SEED project seeks to educate and empower students and suggest that those who pursue social, environmental and economic value will be considered the entrepreneurs of the 21st century. SEED project focuses on delivering tailored upgraded programs for promotion of Social Entrepreneurship to high school students that are enrolled in the school subject ""Entrepreneurship"" in the three respective countries (North Macedonia, Croatia and Lithuania). The project upgrades its objectives by providing safe space for the students to run Virtual Social Enterprises and empowers them to receive and boost their employability skills by being leaders in organizing events in real life: organizing meetups with successful (Social) Entrepreneurs from their community, Silent Auctions and Talent Shows for Fundraising, community mobilization as sustainability approach (establishing ALUMNI networks at school) etc. The project modules are designed by NGOs that will provide new learning framework, experiential learning that is aligned with the transformed strategic environment and create new value in the education process."

College-age young people are open and enthusiastic about making a change in their society and to serving good to all citizens. Global awareness and interaction has broadened their perspectives on the role of doing good. They are eager to be involved, to make an impact. That’s why it’s crucial that, while at the same time that young people are encouraged to be future leaders in the private sector, they should learn on the Corporate Social Responsibility concept/ Social Enterprise Model and vision themselves as Responsible Entrepreneurs.Our project (Students Today-Responsible Entrepreneurs Tomorrow) delivered tailored programs of Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility to high school students that were enrolled in the school subject “Entrepreneurship” in the three respective countries (Macedonia, Croatia and Lithuania). The project modules were designed in a lead of the recognized NGOs from Macedonia (ARNO-coordinator of the project) and Belgium (Out of the Box International- partner) that offered full expertise in the design of modules and programs that improved the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the students for becoming future Responsible Entrepreneurs.Young students accompanied by their teachers attended in total 4 trainings on Social Entrepreneurship and CSR with national follow-up activities that run throughout the entire project. They practiced the theory learned during the trainings by creating and running student Virtual Companies. Some of the student’s companies/ideas participated further in national competitions and won prizes, which proved that the project approach has visible and immediate impact on the student’s motivation and recognizable skills. Students and teachers were involved fully at all project stages and used creative tools to share the message of the project (Online Campaigns, Photo Competition, Gala Fundraising Event) while the private sector companies were mobilized to share stories and provide the students on-site learning and exposure to real business environments. With the outreach to the private sector the schools established contacts with local Companies with strong CSR practice and Social Enterprises; some of the contacts resulted in partnerships that will continue to support the schools and the entrepreneurial education and community involvement. The European dimension of the project ensured creative cultural learning, while the partners built stronger relationships and strengthened their international activities and culture of sharing best-practices. The successful implementation of the project resulted in greater commitment by all partners on working more devotedly on the topic of entrepreneurial education. The project inspired the design of the proposal “STRET Teacher Toolkit”- a KA2 approved project that unites the same partners and aims to bring academic and policy momentum to the same topic by empowering the professional communities and promoting the approach at European level.

<< Objectives >>STRET TT 2 aims to increase teachers` key skills and teaching practices, and create a new generation of responsible entrepreneurs by using co-creation and co-innovation approaches to impact-oriented entrepreneurship education. As carries of skills-oriented entrepreneurship education, teachers will enhance their competencies and professional standards through development of Competencies Framework Guidelines for Entrepreneurship Teachers and Digital Tools Guide for Reflective Learning of Students<< Implementation >>STRET TT 2 will create a comprehensive Toolkit comprised of three IOs:-Entrepreneurship curricula with embodied social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and philanthropy concepts-Competencies Framework Guidelines for Entrepreneurship Teachers-Digital Tools Guide for Teachers for Reflective Learning of StudentsActivities: onsite kick-off and evaluation meetings, 2 onsite trainings for partners, 12 onsite teacher-to-teacher trainings, 8 job shadowing and 5 multiplier events<< Results >>-Creation of 3 Intellectual Outputs for entrepreneurship and other teachers -Increased professional skills, knowledge and mobility of teachers-Increased capacities and know-how of 5 involved organizations-Promotion and awareness-raising of the concepts soc. entrepreneurship, corporate soc. responsibility and philanthropy -Enhanced skills, knowledge and experience of several hundred students on these concepts-Usage and exploitation of the EU`s platform for educators SELFIE and Dig.Comp.Edu

Our STRET Teacher Toolkit Project is built on this premise and experience on already built KA2 partnership from 4 counties: Lithuania, Croatia, Macedonia and Belgium. Our STRET Teacher Toolkit goes beyond teaching Entrepreneurship by adding new concepts to the knowledge and practice: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Social Entrepreneurship. These both areas have a room for further research at EU level and thus make this project more relevant and beyond the recognized potential and importance of investment in Entrepreneurial Education. The planned project activities contributed towards Improved ecosystem for promotion CSR and social entrepreneurship in and outside school, increased knowledge material on the topic for teachers, Increased capacity of the teachers in teaching about running virtual small scale business ideas, visibility of EU efforts to promote Effective Entrepreneurship Education Policy, lobbing at national and International level, increased awareness and public attention to the need of education new generations of responsible entrepreneurs. Moreover the Project has resulted not only with educational and lobbying activities but with the creation of professional teachers and expert communities that can further advocate for the integration of the STRET concept. The project has had a strong European dimension because it has searched for the roots of culture and recommendations of improving entrepreneurial education across 4 different countries and bringing recommendations at EU level by reflecting needs and success stories from the field. The main objectives was to train teachers, empower communities on the topic and further inspire them to advocate and gain momentum on the embedding of CSR and SE Modules in Entrepreneurship education and bring attention of stakeholders not to oversee this opportunity in the already hot discussion on school education and future business leaders who are Students Today (but should be)Responsible Entrepreneurs tomorrow.

The knowledge and skills acquired through the education process lieon the basis of the development of modern society. Thus, the rapidprogression of today’s world needs gaining the same scope of knowledgeand skills in a shorter time and adding brand new ones. This could only happenby applying new approaches and methods in the education system torespond to those needs.Basic knowledge and skills of various complexity are becomingcrucially important for the inclusion of the citizens as active members of thesociety. Reports state deficits in literacy, especially of knowledge and skills inthe sphere of maths and natural sciences, which result in serious problems inhuman’s development and maturity, such as social issues, social ignorance,unemployment, social exclusion, segregation, etc.That is why education is so important for the individual and for society in general. The educational process takes place basically at schooland the school is the institution responsible for students to gain that newknowledge and skills through the period of their growth. Education needs anew vision and new teachings methods in order to prevent educationalreasons for dropping out of school, such as school environment andorganization of the learning process.This project proposal is addressed to enhance students knowledge and skills in mathematics. Some students love math. Other students fear math. MATH4everyone is the place for both.Based on the analysis made before the start of this project, in the framework of this project, a new interactive teaching method will be developed. Using active and collaborative learning and ICT methodology for learning will lead to enlarge students skills to solve practical problems.Students will be an active part of the educational process using this new methodology.Students gained knowledge and skills in maths can be applied for success in today’s world, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. A project of this kind is an excellent opportunity for making arguments between minds, criticizing different opinions on some topic, all of it with one goal: achieving excellent skills of maths of students to be used in everyday life.The people involved in this project (around 25) are experienced in the field of teaching mathematics and ICT skills and they will make great efforts for the success of this project. All of them will be included in completing different assignments and tasks from the project. This project will be carried out by three high schools, one university and one association as project partners.During the project: a selection of staff involved will be made; quality assurance; budget control and financial reports; dissemination reports; and reports to the National Agency and European Commission. We have 5 intellectual outputs of the project: 1. MATH4everyone online platform.2. MATH4everyone toolbox and resources.3. Developing of a teachers guidance materials4. Open Online lessons5. A promotional video-Story board,We have 2 multiplier events in 1 in our country and 1 in Macedonia in order to get excellent promotion on the achievements of the project; 1 short-term joint training event for teachers in Novi Sad, Serbia 1 short-term of groups of students in Turkey, and 4 transnational project meetings (2 in our country, 1 in Macedonia and 1 in Turkey).After completion of the project, each partner will have specific tasks in the direction of sustainability of the project. Also planning additional activities on further developing the new teaching method and prepare a new project will be made.Except for the main results of the project that are already mentioned as intellectual outputs, other results are:• Students to gain a positive attitude towards mathematics. The motivation for learning mathematics is expected to be increased, and this will gain better achievements of the students not only in mathematics but also in other STEM areas.• Teachers to gain better competence. They will look at the teaching process from the point of view of the students and have a better understanding of it. This is the way they are going to upgrade their teaching skills.• All of the participants will gain better linguistic and communication skills.• Through the work on this project, meeting different people and collaborate with them, they will appreciate the differences and become more open and tolerant of the changes that have to occur in the process of education.We can say that considering the long-term benefits we have a new innovative approach to teaching and learning mathematics; possible implementation of it in the curricular; gained new partnerships and projects to further, enhance the results of this project.
