Final Event of the STRET TT2 Project

On February 19, 2025, the final event of the STRET TT2 project, “The Future of Teaching: Entrepreneurship, Philanthropy, and Digital Tools,” was held at the InnoX Innovation Center in Skopje. Organized by АРНО, the event brought together more than 60 teachers from across Macedonia. The event’s main focus was the promotion of a set of teaching guides 📚 developed within the project. In addition to sharing these guides, the event also emphasized discussions and experiences through a panel discussion titled “How Can We Change Entrepreneurial Education?”. For the opportunities to implement changes in entrepreneurial education, the following speakers shared their insights:  Ljupka Panchevska, Junior Achievement Macedonia, Marina Peshovska, Professor at SUGS „Rade Jovchevski – Korchagin“ (RJK), and Irina Janevska, President of ARNO.

Following the discussion, an interactive workshop on “AI Tools in Teaching” was held, organized by the Teachers’ Club from the Association Leaders for Education, Activism, and Development (LEAD).

📚 The Set of Teaching Guides Includes:

📌 Curriculum for Integrating Social Entrepreneurship and Philanthropy in Teaching – An upgraded version of the STRET Toolkit, offering new approaches to engaging students as active, contributing citizens. This curriculum helps teachers deliver knowledge about social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and philanthropy in a more engaging and accessible way.

The program is divided into two parts:
1️⃣ The first part covers Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), including developing small business ideas, running student enterprises, and creating a positive social impact.
2️⃣ The second part is dedicated to Philanthropy, where students learn about solidarity and the role of the community.

📌 Competency Guide for Entrepreneurial Teachers – A handbook designed for teachers who want to expand their knowledge and help students develop an entrepreneurial and philanthropic mindset.

📌 Digital Tools Guide for Teachers – A collection of modern methods and tools that enhance interactive learning. This guide provides clear instructions on using digital tools for teaching, assessment, and self-evaluation, with a focus on the SELFIE and Digi.Comp.Edu platforms for improving digital competencies. It also offers easy-to-follow guidelines for using tools such as ChatGPT, Slack, Google Drive, Padlet, Canva, Mentimeter, and more.
