This guide is documenting activities for foundation of cross-border SE’s by a peer-to-peer social learning approach from the point of view of the students involved in PACE project. It is oriented to:
Thanks to this Guide, it can be demonstrated that Student’s enterprises are one of the main school activities through which students can acquire entrepreneurial skills. The students created and offered new products and services through the management of a real company. They have conceived and developed their own SE’s. The international dimension of the network promoted by the partnership allowed students experiment their own SE in real practices during the exchanges with the other students, as well as share their “Best Practices” and learn cross-border from each other.
A common methodology has been used by participating students to collect information, experiences and suggestions. First, they used a common questionnaire about the phases developed in the SE following the PACE method, in order to prepare by groups a draft of the contents in each country. Using this basis, they worked together during a student exchange preparing the definitive contents and recording the videos included in this Peer-to –peer Guide.
PACE project intends to implement cross-national acting student enterprises (SE) in a network of vocational schools in the field of tourism and leisure time. The project’s activities tend to encourage the employability of students by marketable entrepreneurial actions. PACE intends to foster entrepreneurial thinking and acting by developing and distributing real products as well as encouraging the acquisition of ICT and linguistic competencies through network-based working in a cross-national business and working process. Students have the possibility to show their competencies to potential employers by obtaining the “Entrepreneurial Project Management” certificate.
