KEN Academy launches free entrepreneurial education courses for children "Do It Yourself Education"

KEN Academy welcomes parents and children with the free Do It Yourself Education program, which offers the whole family (child and adult) a useful activity for the future and, at the same time, fun. DIY Education is a learning tool for children and parents that can be used as a starting point in exploring entrepreneurship education.

This free course supports parents who want to do fun and educational activities with their little ones, but who don't have the time because their professional activities take up a lot of their time and they are unable to search for suitable support resources in the sea of information.

During this time when #StamAcasa, KEN Academy offers the complete resources for the learning process.

"The long-term benefits of such a course are great: the child discovers himself, gains confidence in his abilities, is proud of what he has achieved.

He learns that inside him there are a multitude of possibilities that deserve to be discovered and developed. And such experiences, at this age category, become fixed in the foundation of his being and will guide him in life. 

The main mission of entrepreneurial education courses is for every child to understand that he can do what he likes, that he can give life to an idea, a dream, that he knows how to act to achieve this and that he is capable of being financially independent. ", says Carmen Iorgulescu, KEN Academy Coordinator.

A child's learning process is not just about reading or watching an educational film.

It's much more complex and it's the experience that makes the difference!

Here is a diagram that better captures the main stations a child must go through in order for learning to take place.

The information that KEN Academy offers is organized into two categories:

ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS – It is about a set of key entrepreneurial skills that will help the child in life, in personal / school relationships.

BUSINESS – If the child has entrepreneurial inclinations and dreams of starting a business or at least a small lemonade stand, here he will find the main steps to follow.

program DIY Education includes:

• a series of resources (films / infographics) carefully selected, suitable and useful for children;
• a set of questions designed by KEN trainers for the reflection stage, which will help deepen a conversation with the child on the topic presented in the film / infographic;
• An exercise / an activity for the child to do, so that it also has the practice part;

WHEN ARE THE EPISODES COMING OUT?

Each week, a new episode from each category appears on the site, so the education can continue without a time limit. One week is enough to tell about the chosen topic and do the challenge of the week. So:

• The day of Tuesday is dedicated Entrepreneurial Skills.
• The day of Friday is assigned to the category Business.
