The document discusses a project-based educational method for developing entrepreneurial skills in schools. It provides guidance for teachers and students on planning a project, including determining who will lead it, when and where meetings will be held, what activities will take place, creating a schedule and documenting progress. Teachers are encouraged to evaluate students' activities by assessing what supports their entrepreneurial development and analyzing how the education system cultivates skills like creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.

From a concept to the practice, or step by step in a project-based method
The educational project is governed by its own rights. It is part of the core curriculum, has a diverse methodology, yet can also be implemented in schools in an autonomous way.
It will be helpful to answer these questions during the project work:
1/ WHO is going to be the author and implementer of the project (how many people, what kind of group, class, division)?
2/ WHO is going to supervise the project?
3/ WHEN and WHERE will meetings be held? (at school, cultural centre, during general educational classes, extra-curricular activities, other subject-related lessons)
4/ WHAT KIND OF ACTION will be chosen? (e.g. organisation of a school band concert, exhibition of school works/ works by local artists/ photographers/ painters, shooting lip-dub, shooting school commercial, publishing students’ poems, organic fashion show, etc.)
5/ HOW IS THE SCHEDULE GOING TO LOOK LIKE (deadlines, work plan)?
6/ WHEN and WHERE will the project be presented?
7/ WHO is going to be invited to the project’s presentation (parents, local community)?
8/ IF/ HOW will the project partners/ sponsors be found?
The project participants (students/ pupils) document their work on the project the way they choose to (e.g. taking pictures, shooting videos, creating a presentation) in order to create a project diary.
The project’s tutors should fill in the project chart.
If a teacher wants to evaluate students’ activities, he/ she should ask himself/ herself and the students/ pupils the following questions:
- What factors support the students in undertaking social/ entrepreneurial activities?
- How does the Polish system of education develop skills and competencies such as: creativity, ability to generate and analyse problems, project-based activities and/ or teamwork, which prove to be helpful in the process of developing innovation?
Results can be presented at school so that they become a subject for discussion: how to support creative teaching and development of entrepreneurial attitudes so that it works for young people.
