Purpose

This is the sixth out of the cohort’s seven roundtables. In this course, you will meet one simple question: what is the purpose of an entrepreneurship course? You will discuss and problematise this highly nuanced issue and touch upon the fundamental ethics, philosophies, and ideologies behind teaching entrepreneurship.

Intended learning outcomes

At the end of the course, you will have expanded your teaching knowledge by having discussed the following:

  • The pitfalls and merits of entrepreneurship education in a context of change in the employment landscape and sustainability challenges
  • The purpose of entrepreneurship outside its neoliberal origins and ethical limitations
  • The purpose of entrepreneurship education compared with the purpose of other disciplines within the aim to support individuals in building a character that accepts responsibility

Structure

Each independent roundtable is composed of two moderated sessions, 90 minutes each, during which we discuss practices and delve deep into the subject of interest. The two sessions take place one week apart.

Between the two sessions, you as participants are expected to reflect and work individually on material provided by the curator during the course. This material is primarily made up of relevant and contemporary research articles that have been condensed and summarised into an easily digested format. 

This content is presented in the form of both text and video, in the interest of accessibility and allowing you to customise the learning experience to your individual needs. In addition to the condensed content, you will have access to the original articles and a recommended reading list, further giving you the option to dive as deep as you wish into the topic.
