Name: E-COOL: Entrepreneurial and Intrapreneurial Mindset in Young People through the

Dynamisation of Competences, Teaching Methodologies and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Country: Spain

Starting Year: 2018

Ongoing: No (until May 2023)

Description of best practice

E-COOL is a project financed by European Union ERDF funds, within the framework of the INTERREG
EUROPE programme, its aim is to promote entrepreneurial education among young people through

the use of teaching techniques, skills development and a participating entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The meeting marks the end of five years of collaboration in the exchange of experiences and the

optimisation of plans and strategies between ten European regions.

E-COOL is leaded by the Chamber of Seville in Spain. The project believes that entrepreneurship “is

an important driver of smart, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and it has been a prime

objective of the EU regions since the EC included it into the 2020 Strategy”.

E-COOL identifies and exchanges – through a quadruple helix approach:

• Good practices for creating more fruitful entrepreneurial ecosystems.
• Actions to boost entrepreneurship in young people’s attitudes and mindset.

The good practices and lessons learnt will be transferred into Action Plans to be included in regional

policies.

Motivating factors

This project can be useful for young people in developing entrepreneurship and their skills because

it promotes many best practices in entrepreneurship, and we can also find action plans that they

have developed at the end of the project providing details on how the lessons learnt from the

cooperation will be implemented in order to improve the policy instrument tackled within a given
region.
