encourage them to think in an innovative and responsible way. European

1. Participation does lead to students acquiring relevant business-re-
lated knowledge, skills and competences for enterprise and entre-
preneurship;
2. Participants are more likely to change attitudes, such as those
concerning risk taking, and intentions, such as attitudes con-
cerning self-employed or being entrepreneurial, than non-partic-
ipants;
