Erasmus+ IGNITE: A Week That Changed My Perspective on Entrepreneurship 🌱

I was lucky enough to take part in the Erasmus+ IGNITE programme, which took place on the Croatian island of Iž. We stayed in a hotel with a beautiful view of the sea.

For an entire week, we explored how entrepreneurship can help bring environmental ideas to life. The whole learning process was interactive: instead of traditional lectures, we had practical tasks, teamwork and lots of interesting activities.

On the first day, I got to know the other participants, and then a whole week of new connections, challenges and unforgettable experiences began.

The activity that I remember the most was a mock trial, where we had to analyse a problem involving a business. I was given the role of a business consultant who had given the accused company bad advice.

It was quite stressful because I had to read a long text in English in a short amount of time, understand the situation and convincingly play my role. But that is exactly what makes these projects so special: they allow you to experience different situations, look at problems from different perspectives and learn how to find solutions. I was also happy that I could bring a little creativity into such a serious topic as environmental entrepreneurship.
