Entrepreneurial attitude is needed everywhere in life; studies, hobbies and in working life - as well as an entrepreneur or an employee. School plays an important role in growing to entrepreneurship. This educational work is supported by meetings with entrepreneurs - visits to enterprises or lessons in entrepreneurship by entrepreneurs.
