E-Commerce For Start-Ups

In ‘ E-commerce for Start-Ups’ we will create new teaching materials based on the creation of real products and real marketing channels. The students and teachers will be working on project tasks where the theory will be focused to give them support and finally, achieve the goals. Teachers will motivate the need to know new things and develop the project through an initial activity that awakens interest and gives rise to questions. Teachers will create a question, the answer to that question will focus the work. During the work, students have to be the protagonists: to think, to choose and to make decisions. During the project students will work in collaboration, communication, critical thinking and the use of new technologies. In the “e-commerce for start-ups” project our participants will roll up their sleeves and by using all the theoretical knowledge they will work on:

– Creation of a product (a real one)

 – Market study – Marketing study

– Product box design – Legal base for exportation

– Funding – Manufacturing process – E-commerce web page

 – Customer surveys

 The project is composed by six different schools located in Italy, UK, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece and Spain. All of them are teaching Business and Entrepreneurship subjects in their schools. In this project we will pay special attention to cooperative work and communicative skills. Working in groups in order to achieve a greater learning. Showing the goals via different presentations will reinforce the communicative area. Education will be carried out following the logical process of thinking. Researching projects are a way of learning to learn in cooperation where all the above circumstances will be met
