higher vocational education

There is increasing attention in economics courses at colleges of higher education to enriching the curriculum with new economic thinking. Sometimes in separate courses focused on circular economy, sustainable entrepreneurship or the meaning economy, sometimes integrated into existing courses. And there are more and more professorships focused on circular economy or multiple value creation.

Teachers and educational institutions working in this field take the stage to share their experience during the Week of Economics Education. On this page you can see what activities take place during the Week of Economics Education, and find inspiration for future-oriented economics education in your education.
