John Dobson, noted Canadian philanthropist and supporter of entrepreneurship education,

will give the keynote address Friday evening and will participate in the colloquium
   
Entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming an interdisciplinary and inter sectoral topic of teaching and learning. Universities and colleges are beginning to use terms such as “strategies for entrepreneurial integration” and “embedding an interdisciplinary entrepreneurial culture” and “Any Student, Any Discipline, Any time”. Schools strive for “entrepreneurial graduates from all disciplines” and to generate an “entrepreneurial spirit” among the student body in the same context as engaged and service learning.

These recent initiatives have expanded the notion of an entrepreneurial education beyond the business creation context and into the broader context of interdisciplinary learning.

In recognition of this emerging trend The Acadia Centre for Social and Business Entrepreneurship (ACSBE) at Acadia University in conjunction with the Northern Ireland Centre for Entrepreneurship (NICENT), a partnership of the University of Ulster and Queens University, invite you to attend a 2 day colloquium entitled “A Holist Model of Entrepreneurial Education” at K.C. Irving

 


Environmental Science Centre, Acadia University, in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada on June 20 and 21, 2008. This is being organized as a pre-conference event of the ICSB 2008 World Conference (www.icsb2008.org)

The focus of the colloquium will be presentations, analysis, discussions, and conclusions relative to integrated strategies designed to embed entrepreneurship in the totality of post secondary educational institutions.

Education institutions (universities, colleges, and centres of entrepreneurial education) who have attempted, or who are interested in attempting, such integration are invited to attend and participate. Those wishing to present integrative and strategic models are asked to submit a one page abstract outlining the nature of their model highlighting lessons learned.

It is expected that the colloquium will result in an exceptional peer learning opportunity for educators and institutions.
