Greater than the Sum of Its Parts: Combining Entrepreneurial and Sustainable Competencies in Entrepreneurship Education

Go back

Discussions about sustainability and entrepreneurship are often an “either/or” discourse. Many higher-education institutions offer sustainability educaange. Similarly, many offerings in entrepreneurship fail to address sustainability issues. SCE research just published an article in sustainability, that assumes a qualitative, constructivist, systems thinking approach to theorize and analyze the relationships between entrepreneurtion programs with the aim of enabling students to think and act sustainably without concrete tools for eship and sustainability competencies and makes three contributions to theory and practice.

  1. First, it provides a thematic analysis of two important European competence frameworks—for sustainability (GreenComp) and entrepreneurial competencies (EntreComp)—and delineates their relationships. 
  2. Second, through a case study of an experiential educational format, it offers three educational tools that integrate sustainability and entrepreneurial competencies. 
  3. Third, it contributes to the growing field of research that combines sustainability and entrepreneurship education. The results of this paper are relevant for policymakers who want to combine sustainability and entrepreneurship in education, as well as for educators looking for methods to combine both competence frameworks.

The article, that combines entrepreneurial and sustainable competences, was just published in sustainability and is written by Sebastian Planck1, Sonja Wilhelm2, Johanna Kobilke1 and Klaus Sailer1 . It belongs to the Collection Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education
