The document introduces the edupreneurial pedagogic method, which is an educational method focused on experiential learning of entrepreneurship. It discusses two authentic learning environments: (1) International Learning Companies (ILCs), where students work in project teams on real problems for client companies over 5 months; and (2) an LE Game, which simulates starting and running businesses over 2 hours to experience risks and creating value. The method is based on action learning and learning by doing, with the goal of developing an entrepreneurial mindset through experiences of success and learning from failures in a low-risk environment.

16. Edupreneurial Learning entrepreneurship Providing risk and added value Experience in a pull system The edupreneurial method is an educational method based on experiencing successes , and learning from failures in learning entrepreneurship. It is “action learning” , learning by doing, so the effectiveness of the learning process is better than other learning systems like lectures .The difference of such a learning environment with a professional environment is that it is allowed to make mistakes, sometimes even encouraged to make mistakes. Since making mistakes are regarded positive in the acquiring of entrepreneurial competencies. Such an edupreneurial learning environment should have the dynamics that make it possible to learn from making mistakes and from experiencing successes. An environment in which there is a “risk” aspect, with the opportunity of each participant to create value and learning by successes of doing it, or not.
