Local Industry and Enterprise

This project was designed to encourage the integration of technology with Business Studies curricula of upper secondary schools in Europe and Asia, and to encourage communication and research among pupils across many countries. The project was structured in three phases: Relating, Researching and Reflecting. The aims of the project were to: (a) raise awareness about the social and environmental impact of industry and enterprise locally and globally; (b) create an awareness among participants about the similarities and differences between industry and enterprise in the different regions of the world; (c) give students and teachers in participant countries a greater insight into their own local industry and enterprise; (d) develop students’ communication and research skills through a virtual learning environment; and (e) encourage the use of ICT in the curriculum and in extra and cross-curricular activities in schools and colleges.
