Sustaining the implementation of innovative practices in institutions also requires experienced and experienced teachers. In addition, entrepreneurship education is also important in terms of revealing students' creativity. This project aims to provide teachers and students with experience and knowledge on these subjects through activities related to entrepreneurship and STEM education. As a result of this project, teachers who wanted to learn various techniques, tips and methods that could increase their students' entrepreneurial skills had the opportunity to improve themselves. Additionally, teachers participating in this project gained experience on how to incorporate project-based learning into their classrooms to develop students' entrepreneurial skills.

Schools need to prepare students for the rapidly changing world, especially with the COVID-19 epidemic, for jobs that have not yet been created, technologies to be invented, and problems that have not yet been solved. Developing teachers' entrepreneurship and STEM skills will be effective in preparing students for the future by developing their creativity.Teachers will be able to prepare their students for the future by developing entrepreneurial skills in the classroom.They must have the necessary tools and knowledge to prepare their products. Thanks to this project, the skills of the teachers participating in the project increased in entrepreneurship and STEM subjects. Inexperienced partners participating in the project had the opportunity to benefit from the experiences of other experienced partners in entrepreneurship and STEM. Disadvantaged students in rural areas also benefited. Teachers who participated in this training shared their experiences with students and their families.<< Implementation >>The project first started with meetings hosted by Italy and the formation of commissions. In this meeting, acquaintance activities were held to enable the partners to communicate effectively with each other.Later, entrepreneurship (encouraging creativity and innovation) training was introduced in education in Greece.
