Students

This project will help the US and Russian students develop and maintain digital and entrepreneurial competencies, as well as “global” skills, needed to create new networks in the digital society and match these skills with diverse occupations. By working with students from another country, it will help them develop the cultural sensitivity essential in the global business arena.   Students will benefit from interaction with industry experts, and get recognition for their achievements. 

Teachers

Teachers can learn from seeing how their professional counterparts work in different countries and incorporate international dimension into the teaching / learning process. 

Business

Business people will have an opportunity to communicate with an age group very different from their current and long-time employees.  Mentoring is an experience that instructs both the one being mentored and the one doing the mentoring. We also believe there will be an advantage for participating business people to understand how to work with this generation of students who will become customers, suppliers or employees in the future.

Project Info

The “Digital Entrepreneurship project is part of the US-Russia Peer-to-Peer Dialogue Program. Its aim is to stimulate communication and collaboration between US and Russian secondary school students. >>

Tatiana Shilova, the Russian teacher: "All the activities represented in this project were an example of “how it is better to do” in Entrepreneurship education. The students not only acquired knowledge of the subject, learnt how to work in teams to discuss and overcome the problems, but also got to know a lot about another culture and style of life. Thank you for the opportunity to take part in such useful project."
