Proje Özeti

In a continually changing world, gaining entrepreneurial skills is a vital part of being able to meet the challenges of business and daily life. The dramatic changes in global economies over the last decades are mostly the result of the rapid developments in technology. Our young people can see the impacts on education, the business world, and their social life. Young people need specific entrepreneurial skills such as flexibility, taking initiative, assertiveness, self-awareness, and many more to cope with the increasing pace and change of modern life. Many countries are trying to raise their entrepreneurship levels by producing innovative activities, competition, economic growth, and job creation through policies and legal regulations. However, governments can also increase the level of entrepreneurship by affecting the type and quality of education.

Recently, many national strategies have been developed in many European countries, such as specific strategies that improve entrepreneurship education, education reforms, and

lifelong learning, so that entrepreneurship education becomes a progressive structure. In this context, looking at entrepreneurship and it indexed entrepreneurial spirit and culture of France understood and local/national governments, politicians, seems to be a paradigm, even more, they stand on every day. When we look at entrepreneurship education in some European countries included in the application, as well as in France, it is seen that such training existed for many years.
