Join the Entrepreneurship Summer School in Brussels
ThinkYoung, the first think tank focusing on young people is organising an Entrepreneurship Summer School in Brussels on July 13-17.
Started in 2011 the Entrepreneurship School began with one idea: that university professors aren't teaching students how to become successful entrepreneurs. There is not enough entrepreneurship education in Europe. University education is too theory based, with participants learning from professors who don’t engage with the real life situations needed for success. We believe that the most effective teachers and inspirer's of entrepreneurship, are actual entrepreneurs.
Apply for the Brussels edition until June 20! More info here.
