Support for entrepreneurs-to-be in cross-generational teams at Comenius University in Bratislava

At Comenius University Bratislava (CU), the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship offers the course “Development of Entrepreneurial Skills in Cross Generation Teams”. It is a semester-long course where seniors and undergraduate students work together in teams on real-life businesses. The idea is not only to provide instructions but to transfer motivation and an enterprising mindset between the two generations. The seniors who participate in the course are from the University of the Third Age (UTA) which is part of the CU’s Centre for Continuing Education. Both generations regard their participation fruitful due to the personal and professional experiences gained. In order to evaluate the teams’ business ideas, mentors and peers provide feedback throughout the course.
