The Enterprise Education Unconference was organised by COPIE2 subgroup on enterprise
education. The host of the event was UAFSE (Spain). The host partners were supported by
some members of COPIE2 namely: Flanders, Galicia, Asturias and INCYDE.

The overall aims of the Unconference were to:
Create a community of people dealing with enterprise education at European level;
Explore the possibilities provided by the European Social Fund for enterprise education projects
Debate the role of enterprise education as a tool for social inclusion and its potential contribution to changing the production models in our economies
The Unconference was held at the LAB Centro de
Arte y Creación Industial, Gijón. The volcanic ash
did not deter people flying to Asturias. As a result 36
people from 4 different attended the Seminar. A
good mix of stakeholders comprising national and
regional government representatives, third sector,
intermediary organisations and practitioners
contributed to very lively debates during these 2
unconference days.

The event was designed following “unconference”
principles that encouraged each participant to have
a say in the ongoing discussions. Sessions were
run so that participants could suggest issues to be
discussed around a set of broadly predefined
themes: policy, research, and practice all the more
relevant to the enterprise education agenda so that
every participant contributed with their knowledge
by having enough time for the debate and exchange
of experiences.
