– For the third year in a row, The German Cultural Institute (Goethe) continues its activities within the framework of its project “Entrepreneurship in School Practices in Jordan” funded by the German Foreign Ministry where members of the project team in the Institute arranged visits to the schools partnering in the project along with a member from the supervision team coming from Cairo. The members visited the following schools (Al-Asriya School, Islamic Educational College, Jubilee School, Al Mutran and Ahliyyah Schools, Al-Saada School) and reviewed the process of work on the schools’ projects that were funded by the project during its three years.
The students in the schools from both genders started working on developing ideas for innovative projects after the teachers in charge attended the training courses on entrepreneurship and started applying the knowledge they got on the students in their schools and developing special projects in each of the partnering schools mentioned above.
“The goal behind teaching the students entrepreneurship is not just for them to be aware of it and establish profitable projects, but rather to acquire entrepreneurial skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, team work, analyzing and developing ideas, thinking. outside the box and building a generation that faces the society’s challenges as an active member and contributes to overcoming and solving them in a sustainable way.” said Laura Hartz, the Director of the Goethe-Institute Jordan.
The students in the partnering schools implemented various projects including those that focused on preserving the environment, such as the water saving project implemented by Al-Asriya School’s students, the organic garden project implemented by the students of Al Mutran and Ahliyyah Schools, and the greenhouse project for agriculture implemented by the students of the Jubilee School, as well as the students of Al-Saada School implemented the soap and gifts project and the students of Islamic Educational College implemented many other projects including the healthy food project, the waste recycling project to use them for décor and accessory creations, in addition to other ideas for projects that were developed during the entrepreneurship classes.
It is worth mentioning that the schools’ students from both genders presented many of their innovative and entrepreneurial ideas and expressed their desire to continue developing them to become effective projects in the community. The principles of the partnering schools considered these projects really important and are excited to continue presenting and integrating entrepreneurship within the schools’ subjects and to continue working on the innovative ideas that were developed by the students in the schools, in addition to having them participate in national and international competitions
