This is why we start with education and schools, a term that is also in our name, School of Entrepreneurship. This might seem a contradiction, since, in the past, school and entrepreneurial initiative have often seemed like unrelated terms, if not opposites. But we look at education and entrepreneurship in a broader meaning. Not a school disconnected from all other educational programmes, but "a school for schools"; not only entrepreneurship as business creation, but as entrepreneurial competence to be applied in virtually every field and walk of life. Education should lead us to a knowledge society, and the knowledge society to an entrepreneurial society animated by many new businesses based on knowledge and new technologies. A society capable of encouraging creativity and valuing new ideas and innovative projects.
We are also convinced that such an approach makes it possible to develop education programs for a very broad section of the population, since they are tailored to the specificities of people throughout their lives.

At the methodological level, we want to recognise and strengthen the identity of individuals, in terms of skills, values, aspirations, roots, in order to develop it and not to flatten it out under a single educational logic. In particular, our idea of a school should not lack the key component of civic education and the conscious and responsible belonging to a community. For this reason, entrepreneurship education must take into account the social role of business and its ethical values. Therefore, an enterprise is not only the product of an individual initiative, but is embedded in a social context and values. A business that respects people, the community and the environment, seen as a positive reality that brings development and greater wellbeing, both now and in the future.

In addition to all this, there is a specific element that characterises our approach: the desire to act concretely, not just discuss or theorise, with a bottom-up approach and networking initiatives Imprendi Foundation pursues real projects designed to add to personal and social change. We also want to measure the results of these projects and make them public.

Finally, we feel that we are not alone in this adventure; instead we are together with many other people and organisations who sincerely care about creating new and real opportunities for development, starting with the investment in education and young people.
