Public Entrepreneurship as a Response to Complex Challenges

New challenges need to be managed

"More and more major social challenges are emerging that municipalities are facing, such as reducing nitrogen, the shortage of housing and labor in many sectors, migration, costs of energy and healthcare, and next to this as important the quality of democratic Processes with Inhabitants and Companies. 

​

The existing official organization of many municipalities is not set up for this. New challenges force municipalities into new roles and innovative organizational forms in order to cope with such social challenges. Public Start is a perfect instrument for Municipalities to get help on this proces of change."

The programme will enable public sector actors to tackle complex, multi-dimensional challenges (OECD) by fostering entrepreneurship skills (EntreComp).

The programme will be designed around the concept of ‘Micro-learning’, short and concise "learning nuggets", delivered in multi-media formats to promote blended learning approaches.
