Latest NewsEBC to develop Polish teachers entrepreneurial skills EBC's Chief Executive Barbara McClennan will travel to Poland in 2009 to help Polish teachers develop their skills in developing entrepreneurship skills in young people. Barbara will spend a week training 10 Polish teachers on how to deliver a range of enterprise activities to their pupils as well as explaining how to get businesses involved in developing entrepreneurial skills in the classroom. The training, planned for early 2009 will be followed up with a study visit to the North East by the teachers in March or April when they will see EBC and its business partners 'in action' delivering the innovative and creative enterprise and work related learning activities for which EBC is renowned to young people in Sunderland. By May the Polish teachers hope to be able to deliver EBC's enterprise activities in their own schools in Gdansk. Poland. In June Barbara will travel to Poland again to carry out an evaluation of the project with the Polish teachers and the organisers of the pilot project - funded by the European Union. If successful the project could be rolled out across the Pomorski region. The project has been organised by the Gdansk-based RC Foundation - the Regionalne Centrum Informacji i Wspomagania Organizacji Pozarzadowych. The Foundation is a Regional Information and Support Centre for non-governmental organisations serving the Pomorski region of Poland. EBC's partnership support shines through Two schools in Sunderland are Celebrating Their Specialness thanks to support from EBC. The schools - Portland and Barbara Priestman - now have specially etched windows to acknowledge their involvement in a bespoke programme designed by EBC to bring together businesses and young people. Businesses recruited by EBC developed and delivered a range of hands on learning for pupils from the two schools - all designed to give them an insight into the world of work. EBC secured funding from a range of sources including sponsorship from Grundfos Engineering of Ferryboat Lane, Sunderland, to develop and deliver its Celebrating Our Specialness programme. EBC then worked with both the schools and a specialist glass engraver to commission the windows which are now installed in the schools. Click here to see a photograph of one of the windows.
