PODUZMI

Together we will work to strengthen sustainable development, reduce poverty and migration from the small districts, encourage creativity and illuminate opportunities and knowledge about entrepreneurship.

PODUZMI

Effectively Active teaching and learning on Entrepreneurship in economically underdeveloped and rural areas

Context

Local communities in rural areas in Croatia, such as the municipality of Gracac, have greater challenges than urban places in several areas. The area around Lika has had major and devastating consequences as a result of war. In addition to the lack of development of educational programs, there are scarce resources and climate change.

Vinco Innovation has been honored to take part in the PODUZMI project together with project partners Nikola Tesla Elementary School, Gračac, University of Zadar and the project promotor Institution for the development of competencies, innovation and specialization of Zadar County, INOVACIJA.

Goal of PODUZMI

The general goal of the project is to contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas, reduce poverty and the displacement of young people, and encourage social inclusion and innovation in deprived municipalities and towns of Zadar County. The implementation of the project will contribute to the development of the competences of teachers and other educational workers and will develop a new teaching model in entrepreneurship with the aim of developing the knowledge, skills and competences of students in rural and deprived areas. Together we will work to strengthen sustainable development, reduce poverty and migration from the small districts, encourage creativity and illuminate opportunities and knowledge about entrepreneurship.
