This summer has seen a final flurry of activity for the EntreComp Certificate project at LRGS. The three year project, establishing the EntreComp Certificate, comes to an end in September 2022, but the future of the award is only just beginning!
The EntreComp Certificate Project has been funded by Erasmus+, in conjunction with Lancaster company MI-Gen, Romania’s Euro Ed, Cypriot partner Emphasys, Enrico Fermi school from Sicily and Corbon school from Paris.
LRGS students have participated in an array of activities over the three years to help develop and pilot the award: fundraising with the Prince’s Trust, creating marketing videos, establishing start-ups, winning Young Enterprise competitions, collaborating with students from other partner schools in Cyprus, and reflecting on all their co-curricular experiences to show that they have proved competency in up to 15 entrepreneurial competencies of the EntreComp Framework.
LRGS have worked closely with Lancaster University throughout the project, and we are delighted that LU awards the Certificates and digital badges to our students at Foundation, Intermediate or Advanced Level.
June, July and August have seen the culmination of our project, with three dissemination events and the first set of certificates awarded.
LRGS Open Morning
Firstly, at LRGS Open Morning, we chatted to 60 prospective new entrants to the school, alongside their parents, explaining the award and the way that it promotes active citizenship by encouraging young people to show commitment, get involved and make society a better place.
