The EE-HUB round table organised by SEECEL aimed to present different perspectives on how to achieve an ‘ecosystem’ approach to entrepreneurship education, which involves looking not only at policy and the curriculum, but also at a range of other areas such as strategy definition, multi-stakeholder cooperation, the institutional culture of educational institutions, teacher/school management training, guidance for students as well as monitoring and evaluation. The event gathered Small Business Act coordinators and other representatives of ministries of education and/or economy from eight countries of South East Europe and Turkey, as well as representatives from local government (City of Šibenik), international organisations and other international experts.
