Conference: Proceedings of the International Conference on Lifelong Education and Leadership for All (ICLEL 2023)
Date: 6-8 July 2023
Location: Coimbra, Portugal (Hybrid)
Website: www.iclel.com International Conference on Lifelong Education and Leadership (ICLEL 23) was organized as a dissemination event of the EU Beyond the Limits Project. This project aimed to develop learners’ skills in creativity and entrepreneurship at upper school and university levels. The project brought together a partnership of eight universities and institutes from seven countries across Europe, led by Sakarya University in Türkiye. The project approved by the European Union to commence in 2020. The leaders of the national partners brought together highly eminent and experienced researchers, innovators and educators from their countries. During the project, we assessed the entrepreneurship and creativity levels of students and aimed to develop university students’ and teachers’ creativity and entrepreneurial competences via education programs. The project aimed to encourage schools to place greater importance on entrepreneurship education and on organizing entrepreneurship activities to motivate young people to develop their potential, with competence development planned according to the specific needs of the age groups of students. It aimed to develop understanding and connectivity of the relationships between creativity and entrepreneurship, in education and in practice. International Conference on Lifelong Education and Leadership is a recognized international congress in the field of education. Due to the topic of the EU project, the main theme of this year’s congress was “enhancing creativity and entrepreneurship skills in education.” The main aim of this e-book as an intellectual output is to create a resource of comprehensive, high-quality academic material which can be used by institutions and educators to develop creativity and entrepreneurship skills. The audience for this book is university students, researchers, teacher trainers and academicians. Educators are encouraged to benefit from the e-book in their teaching, scholarship and their research activities. ICLEL 23 in 2023, as a dissemination event of the EU Beyond the Limits: Developing Entrepreneurship through Creativity in Schools (Erasmus+ Strategic partnership Ka 203) project was held on July 6–8, 2023, at the University of Coimbra-Portugal with the hybrid method. Within the scope of the congress, invited speeches, workshops, round table activities, oral paper presentations, online paper presentations and poster presentations were organized. In addition, an intense cultural interaction was also realized with the Cultural Night, where Portuguese food and FADO music were presented. At the end of the congress, the historical parts of the University of Coimbra were visited with a guide, and important information about the history of Portugal was obtained. Within the scope of ICLEL 23, more than 240 academicians and researchers from 27 different countries made 146 presentations. With this book, researchers, academicians, students and those interested in entrepreneurship have the opportunity to access important academic knowledge and knowledge-based practices and perspectives across all the countries of Europe, and ultimately worldwide.
