IO1 Training ethical entrepreneurship and leadership

The training Ethical entrepreneurship and leadership is a collection of lessons to equip students with skills and competences to make value-based decisions. The lessons are based on moral and ethical dilemmas and choices and they are presented in a case-based form. The lessons connect information, emotions and values that entrepreneurs and businesses apply in their process. Students start to familiarise with different dilemma’s and cases, which lead to new choices, services and even business cases. This learning process is supported by a dialogue with stakeholders.

IO3 Quick scan Manual

The Quick Scan manual focuses on a connecting action between students, entrepreneurs and staff. In order to involve businesses in Value and Future objectives and activities, a series of company visits and interviews are planned in the first two years of the project. The aim of the conversations is to seek practices and best practices, and to map the present mind-set of representatives of business life around partners institutes.

This takes place in relation to business ethics and values. The exchange and visits bring about stories, visions, dilemmas, solutions, and above all: role models. Role models are people that are searched for and selected by the students themselves, based on their conversations. The role models are then asked to play a further role in the project activities (IO4 Future Days and IO5 Inspiration platform).
