About entrepreneurship-education.org

We are pragmatic visionaries. We have spent over 10 years working in South African education - most of it in teacher development and strategic innovation work. Across high school learners, pre-university students, university students and early-career professionals, one thread keeps showing up: people need to believe that they can and have access to the tools to do so. Entrepreneurship education is one of the clearest frameworks we have found for building that belief.

What we believe

  • Entrepreneurship education is not the same as education plus entrepreneurship.
  • It is not only about starting a business.
  • It is about building a community of entrepreneurial thinkers - people who are confident and willing enough to take ownership and drive.

 

An exploratory organisation, and we are honest about that

We are in an exploratory phase, and this site is deliberately upfront about it. Rather than arriving with a fixed model, we are opening the dialogue - testing, listening and learning in public, in the classroom and beyond it.

Our vision is a South Africa where entrepreneurial thinking is not a career path but a birthright for every young person, from Johannesburg's classrooms outward. We know where we are headed. We are still defining, in the open, how we get there.

In this exploratory phase, we want to get in touch.

Where this comes from

We launched a podcast with 8 guests from different parts of the entrepreneurship education industry, plus one global view from Turkey, to understand where entrepreneurship education is located in South Africa today. 

Get involved

If you work in education, youth development or entrepreneurship - or you are interested in helping shape where this goes, including at board level - we would like to hear from you. Get in touch.
