“Entrepreneurship in Education is about inspiring entrepreneurial potential. People need the mindset, skills, and knowledge to generate creative ideas, and the entrepreneurial initiative to turn those ideas into action“.
This is the definition of the European Commission given to explain the theoretical framework and the necessary link between the school systems and the European labor market. (Source: http://ec.europa.eu/education/policy/strategicframework/entrepreneurship_it).
Other sources are also important points of reference, such as
“Entrepreneurship Education: Enabling Teachers as a Critical Success Factor”.
“Teaching Toolkit for Entrepreneurship Education”.
Besides this, we are also always doing research and developing our materials.
JUMP in 2016 started an international cooperation partnership for a KA2 Erasmus Plus project titled “SO-VET. Social entrepreneurship as an alternative for young unemployed” which gave as result a long term training course for potential social entrepreneurs on social business. The course is still online for free and it can be attended in several languages.
After this important experience, JUMP developed an Erasmus project titled “Cultural Studies in Business” in the field of university exploring how cultural studies can cross and improve the actual business studies. The project results are very actual and useful, especially the proposed innovative Master Degree curriculum titled “Cultural Studies in Business”.
Furthermore, JUMP is the leader of another Erasmus project to create a business culture among youths and is about to start a new project on Circular Economy.
The team of trainers and project developers gained experience in the field of “Entrepreneurship education” also called “financial education” researching the very actual trends of studies but also being concrete involved in the business, administration, and project management. The team is expert in entrepreneurship and is continuously developing methods and making practical activities for different beneficiaries to help and support the existence of a “culture of entrepreneurship”.
Teachers starting from middle school can develop a progressive program of business education teaching with students at secondary grade a level of understanding and practice which can be the key for the future professional development of the new generation of workers in general and in specific of the new workforce of the business sectors. Developing a business is not something far from what can be done at school, starting from children and going on until the end of secondary school. Teachers, parents, and students have to develop entrepreneurial skills and work together in synergy acting as “potential entrepreneurs”: networking, creating a long-term vision, innovating, and training minds to use “divergent thinking’ .
This training is pure innovation and is challenging because it can be for different kinds of learners: teachers, “company staff members”, coaches and educators in general. Why is this training also for schools? According to our point of view, company staff members can also be teachers, school directors but also students and university students but we don’t believe that schools are like private companies. This doesn’t mean that schools can empower the skills and competencies of the team members like in the private sector.
As a small company in a local context, schools are at the center of a potential “business development plan” and this training will foster the growth of those competencies useful to improve a situation of poverty and lower development to a better one, also based on links with the labor market and with a local business. Potentially, schools can become cooperatives, social companies, and small and medium businesses at the local level thanks to a component which makes schools more powerful than what we imagine. What’s that? Creativity! JUMP training is conducted by experts in the different fields and can be also tailored according to partners’ needs and specific KA1 project’s aims.
LEARNING GOALS
Participants can be any kind of teacher working in a public or private school or educational institutions
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
A brand new local partner, an innovative company offering touristic services with another vision and perspective. Discover Calabria and enjoy the local culture making experiential learning and practical labs with local people, but also simply a more sustainable tourism at local level.
