Entrepreneurship in Basic Education as a motivating force

in the development of protagonism and other technical and behavioral skills

Abstract

This article will present an explanation of entrepreneurship in school, taking into account the young people who will be trained in a process that seeks to generate in them a certain transformation, so that, by playing a leading role in society, they can also transform it. In other words, the proposal is that through the study of entrepreneurship at school, young people emerge as agents of transformation and protagonists of their own work journeys, taking the first steps towards building their careers. First, the nature of entrepreneurship itself, its importance in society, in the country as a whole, will be discussed. The role that entrepreneurship has in Brazil will be highlighted, where youth is seen as a social element not only for building a future, but in the just establishment of a present that contains its due challenges. Along with the attempt to define what an entrepreneur is, the qualities and competencies that a good entrepreneur possesses will be discussed. Therefore, the school will be able to develop in its pedagogy the means to make these characteristics emerge in young people, using entrepreneurship as a motivating source. We will discuss the transformation factor that entrepreneurial education generates in the student and, consequently, in the society in which he will act with critical sense and creativity, virtues that will be developed already as a teenager. Finally, we will mention the work that has been developed in the Teia Multicultural School, which will help us understand what is this protagonism that is so necessary for young people to be successful in their lives, in its various aspects.
