10.30 – 11.00 Project-startup education in high schools and universities – a debate on a recommendation prepared based on lessons learned from best domestic and foreign practices.

Did you know that 53% of Polish teenagers dream of starting their own business, but don’t know where to start? According to Econverse, project-startup education is the key to future growth. The panel discusses a recommendation prepared based on the most successful practices from Poland and abroad. What are the benefits of startup education? What are the skills of the future, integrated learning, and what changes in the education system will artificial intelligence require? We also consider the benefits of project-based learning, including developing problem-based thinking, collaboration and communication, and the Design Thinking approach. Taking into account generational differences in the perception of the role of education, we consider which foreign practices would work in Poland, and how the integration of different curricula, social projects, as well as training and vocational education, can contribute to creating the education of the future.
