On Saturday, November 2, Junior Achievement Cyprus organized the Entrepreneurial Teaching Day at the Unesco Amphitheatre of the University of Nicosia. The purpose of the seminar was to appreciate the contribution of teachers in the Company Programme, offered to high school students aged 15-19 since 2013, as well as to train the teachers in entrepreneurship and contribute to their development as professional teachers.<\/p>\n

Initially, the speakers at the seminar were Dr. Angeliki Kokkinaki and Dr. Despo Ktoridou, University of Nicosia Professors who spoke about the ‘Entrepreneurship and Innovation Promotion System based on IT tools’.

Last year’s Company Program winners, Ballywool, shared their experiences from their journey into the world of entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
