Impressions from the Entrepreneurship

Festival at “Kaplan” Elementary School

in Israel

April 2016

“Kaplan”, led by Tali Toledano, is an entrepreneurial school.

The school believes that choice and relevance promote the will to learn, and

help develop students into proactive and involved entrepreneurs,

which are important skills in the 21st century.

The school developed a multi-year program for entrepreneurial learning that

develops entrepreneurial skills.

The entrepreneurship festival is a day where personal and class-wide

ventures were presented, as was what is done and learned in different

subjects at the school.

This slideshow shows some of the many activities the school offers involving

entrepreneurship.

The entrepreneur students identified needs, came up with ideas for ventures,

learned the subject, defined benefits and target audiences, created action

plans and executed their ventures and/or developed models.
