FUTURE

Let’s foster the learning of CSR+ in the secondary schools!

Why

Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainable Business and Social Innovation (CSR+) are becoming more and more important topics. For instance, to the COVID-19 economic crisis, there is a widespread expectation that businesses should be more accountable to the society. However, CSR is hardly present in the school learning system. Thus, it is important that young people entering the labor market have the skills to foster sustainable business and innovation to respond to the company’s needs. That is why it is relevant to introduce the topic to teachers and students and “build a bridge” between schools and companies.

Aim

Improve the development of secondary schools students’ skills and abilities, as well as the debate, regarding entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility, through innovative methods, procedures and tools.

Goal

We want to spread CSR knowledge in secondary schools. We aim at improving the development of students’ skills and abilities regarding Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility, through innovative methods and tools. Student, hence future workers and entrepreneurs, will gain a wide overview on the approach on CSR in Europe.
