La Salle Campus Barcelona-URL forms social entrepreneurship for more than 1200 students of La Salle Catalunya in the 2nd edition of Eduemprén

Last Tuesday La Salle-URL hosted the start of the EduEmprén social entrepreneurship project, in which more than 1,200 children from the Salle Catalunya participated.

Students came from 15 different schools of La Salle: La Salle Bonanova, La Salle Cassà De la Selva, La Salle Figueres, La Salle Girona, La Salle Horta, La Salle Manlleu, La Salle Manresa, La Salle Mollerussa, La Salle Montcada, La Salle Premià, La Salle Santa Coloma de Farners, La Salle Sant Celoni, La Salle Seu d'Urgell, La Salle Tarragona, La Salle Torreforta, La Salle Vidal Barraquer.

The day marked the beginning of the FAIG project, in which the students will have to develop a business plan throughout the academic year and at the end of the course they will have  to present it at the closing of Eduemprèn in the month of June again in the Campus. The event began with a welcome from the director of La Salle Catalonia, Jordi Jover, who encouraged young people to be entrepreneurs and recalled the good results that La Salle Technova Barcelona is obtaining as an incubator for projects, being one of the most important in Europe.  Then, the director of the Technological Park, Javier de la Ossa presented the requirements and the prizes to which the students with the Eduemprén project can choose.

 The students participated in a creative dynamic in which groups had to think about an entrepreneurial idea, for a problem posed by them previously, on a subject related to health, nutrition, education, labor inclusion, recycling, among others; and then present it publicly to the entire audience. "If in an hour you have been able to think of an idea, imagine what you can do during the whole course", motivated them by Josep M. Piqué, executive president of La Salle Technova Barcelona and conductor of the event. The event ended with an inspiring talk by Albert Riera, responsible for communication at the La Fageda cooperative.
