Abstract
In these days when we are facing both financial and social crisis, the concept ‘entrepreneurship’ rises up as an expectation that will improve the current situation. But what is behind this notion? And more importantly, how is entrepreneurship encouraged in our educational systems? This paper presents the approach followed for an Open Educational Resource to promote entrepreneurship in youth. This paper presents an extensive literature review in three main directions: 1) it presents the main conceptual frameworks for entrepreneurship; 2) it performs a comparative analysis of entrepreneurial educational programs worldwide and 3) draws conclusions and recommendations for the educational methodology to be followed in the OER. The methodological approach is described in detail. Preliminary results from its pilot testing and directions for further improvements are also included.
