INNICIA ENTREPRENEURIAL CULTURE

Innicia is a regional programme which promotes a permanent improvement of the Andalusian education system to create, innovate and undertake an inherent consequence of
educational processes at all levels, both in the student learning, as in the skill development.
Former regional programmes used to focus on “mini company” programmes, which was targeting the productive dimension only. "Innicia, Entrepreneurial Culture" has meant overcoming the productive dimension as the one that has traditionally defined entrepreneurship, necessarily incorporating its inherent personal and social dimensions. More than a summative / gradual perspective (personal dimension + social dimension + productive dimension), a concentric / integrative approach has been incorporated, in which each and every one of the activities must be linked by these three dimensions.

The programme works on a yearly basis, with a framework of an annual call.
To facilitate the work of teachers on entrepreneurial assets, teaching material, support actions and didactic itinerary are provided so that the educational projects of the centers foster entrepreneurship in all stages and teachings. The itinerary called “I Have a Challenge” is structured in 3 phases: Explore, Develop,Communicate. Each of the phases of "I have a Challenge" has been made to correspond with an emotional polarity, offering guidance and resources depending on the emotion.

The teaching staff participating in the program has the support and advice of facilitators, with a training plan, both face-to-face and distance learning allow adapting the proposed actions to the possibilities that the pre-high school has.
Regional coordination team supervises the programme.

The integration of the paradigm shifts regarding educational entrepreneurship. Innicia goes beyond productive dimension, incorporating the personal and social dimensions equally.
The understanding of the entrepreneurial project as an integrated educational experience.

The operationalization of entrepreneurial competences through entrepreneurial dimensions and assets, versus the former exclusivity of business and productive simulation.
The methodological approach of the program for the integration of the entrepreneurial experience: Experience-Practice-Theory

The priority of cascading processes and the importance of organisation and coordination of the programme (Motor Team - Pedagogical Coordination Team (PCT) - Coordinators in educational centers) and the design of supervisory actions accompanied at all organizational levels.

Group processes, relationships and accompanied supervision that favor cascade processes. Resources (actions in educational centers) to support educational centers in the development of their entrepreneurial project.
