Being Entrepreneurial 2024 (English version)

Arantza Arruti Leave a comment

Last 28th of November, I took part, articipé, for the third year in a row, at the conference Being Entrepreneurial 2024, held by Bantani Education.

Being part of EntreComp Community is one of the steps I am most proud of, both professionally and personally.

For those of you who were not able to attend the event, here is the link where you will find speakers’ presentations.

More than having access to “the presentations” is to become a member of Entrecomp Community. I promise you that the opportunities that this learning community offers us are many. This is not the first time I tell you this, and I am sure it will not be the last. I will keep insisting on it, because I think it is worth it. The people who make it up, the diverse and multiple resources it offers, the synergies that arise in virtual and face-to-face meetings (fewer than I would like, I assure you), are just some of the windows it opens for us. Go ahead, you can:

I put the question to you and I hope we meet in the next Being Entrepreneurial 2025.

Thank you, Bantani Education!!!!!!!

OMG, 10 years!

Who was to say to me that I would reach 10 years with this blog. It’s not that I don’t believe it, I have worked hard for it, but it seems like yesterday when one day in November 2014 I introduced myself and this blog.

Today I want to say THANK YOU to the more than 2,000 active subscribers, who week after week are there. THANK YOU for giving me part of your time, either to read the post at full speed, to read it calmly, to read it at the same moment you receive it, to read it “when the time comes”, to read it with “all the ones I’m accumulating”, or to postpone it “because life and its main path, does not let us deviate for a while” (although I think it’s worth it). THANK YOU to all the people behind each post, because without you, this blog would be nothing, but even less would the entrepreneurial world and the world “just like that”. THANK YOU Juan, Tamara, Ainhoa, Ellin, Marianella, Álvaro, Anaska, Amaia, Toni, Anik, Camelia, Diego, Germán, Javier, Itziar, Gaptain, Marisa, Nagore, Muxote Potolo Bat, María, Mamen, Miren, Iratxe, Go Basquing, Arancha, Emakumeekin, EntreComp y EntreCompEdu, DeustoStart, Garbiñe, Andoni, Patricia, Arruti Consulting, Kristian, Asier, La galga menta, Harri kontari, Alupé, Kietoparao, Nuria, Ro, Mikel, Perico, kekelis, WOP… Hey, but I thank you as representatives of the many women entrepreneurs and men entrepreneurs, in short, P.E. that have passed through these pages, and as representatives of the projects and ideas that I have been able to talk about and echo. You are so many people that, from the bottom of my heart, I would love to have you all together and thank you with a huge hug (even more than the one you see in the photo) and “something else” that you deserve, I have no doubt at all.

This week I also have the pleasure and honor of being able to celebrate these 10 years with the Bantani Foundation, in Brussels, working with them and, in addition, being able to participate in the event, for me, of the year: Being Entrepreneurial 2024: Innovate Learning. Because, as you know, for me, being an entrepreneur is one of my passions, and being a teacherpreneur and being able to “shout it to the four winds” so that the attitude, mentality and entrepreneurial spirit reaches more people, is even more so. At this point, I have to give a special THANK YOU to the University of Deusto for giving me the opportunity to develop this facet. ESKERRIK ASKO, BIHOTZEZ!

By the way, I attach the agenda of the event, in case anyone is a little late but would like to come to Brussels and share with many people passionate about entrepreneurship that day.

Shall we go for another 10 years? Come on, let’s go for the next 5.

Alupé, alupé (English version)

If I start the song that many of us have sung as children, I’m sure you will follow it. Come on, I begin: “Alupé, alupé”, come on, do not be shy, “sentadita me quedé”. That’s what the protagonists of today’s post, Ici and Bego, thought when 11 years ago, on November 13, they decided to launch their brand, because they wanted something “catchy”. Did they succeed? Read on to give your opinion. (more…)

Today I want to introduce you to Spacemaker, the first commercial platform that uses artificial intelligence to help architects to plan and develop faster and more effective decisions in our cities.

“In 2050 we will be 10 billion people on the whole planet”.

That’s the main reason for this European project, which focuses on sustainability and better quality of life for people.

I invite you to watch the following video, I’m sure it will not leave you indifferent.

 

EntreComp

Today I had several entrepreneurs and innovative projects to tell you about but, finally, I have decided to introduce you to the EntreComp European Entrepreneurship Framework. I am sure that many people know it, but what about those who do not know it or even have never seen it before?

“EntreComp is a comprehensive, flexible and multipurpose reference framework designed to help you understand what is meant by entrepreneurship as a key competence for lifelong learning and to be able to use this in your work. It is intended to support and inspire actions to improve the entrepreneurial capacity of European citizens and organisations and was launched  in 2016 as part of the New Skills Agenda for Europe”. See reference.

EntreComp is represented by a flower, with 15 petals or competences, divided in 3 areas (into action, ideas and opportunities, resources). Each competence is defined through learning outcomes which are mapped across 8 different levels of progression from beginner to expert.Watch the following video and have a clearer idea about the different possibilities that EntreComp offers you.

If you are working around the education sector, I invite you to be part of a wonderful community as https://entrecomp.thinqi.com/
