Is It Possible To Create An Enterprising And Innovative Educational Ecocommunity?

Abstract

The shifting landscape of entrepreneurship education and research indicate that it is important to create a transition and adapt in order to continue offering impactful enterprising education for the next generation of entrepreneurs. Most current classroom practices, models, suppositions about learning and ways to deal with learning and educating by and large uncover that they can't prepare people for these new and sudden difficulties since they are solely founded on a universe of yesterday. The globe needs more imaginative and inventive people who can find answers for both present and future worries in each area of the community they live in. How might this vision be cultivated? Who can carry this vision to materialize? This paper features the significance of executing an enterprising education implemented by those who are enterprising themselves in order to cultivate the desired mindset to establish an an enterprising and imaginative educational ecocommunity for a just, better and harmonious world.
