About the International Classroom
Context
How do young people experience that they can make a positive impact on their environment through entrepreneurial actions? This question is central in the project Impact-driven Entrepreneurship Education for Children (IDEEC). The IDEEC project team is your host for this session.Developing competencies for impact-driven entrepreneurship requires agency and activity from your learners. We see this as an experiential, practical, local and active process. Therefore we have structured this process of learning by doing into a three-phase approach. In each of the phases, we have identified three main competencies that learners develop. We think they are most prominent in this particular phase, but of course, they are also relevant in other phases.
Phase 1: Challenge Framing – what is the problem you want to solve?
Phase 2: Solutions Experimenting – what possible solutions do you explore?
Phase 3: Impact Making – how can you make a real difference to the problem?Read more about the competencies in each phase and the didactic principles in IDEEC's Introduction to the Toolkit, here.
Overall aim of the international classroom event
The overall aim of the classroom is to give you and your students an experience of one of the activities and to explore how you and your students can make a difference in your local context. It is also an opportunity for you to explore the competency framework that underpins the project and to understand how you can support your students to develop competencies in each phase of the programme.You will connect online with other classrooms internationally, who are working on the same activity at the same time.

Classroom activity: 'Community Loves Balance'
Description:
This activity can be used to enable young people to start thinking about challenges in their local community, working from their own experience that it is not good to have too much or too little of something.Students experience that, in order to be healthy, their body needs balance. This leads to a brainstorm on what students think there is too much and/or too little of in their community and what is needed to find balance.
