Playground
For Entrepreneurship Educators
Embrace the future of entrepreneurship education with the Playground for Entrepreneurs.
Our unique, game-based approach not only educates, but it inspires, immerses, and fully engages students in the entrepreneurial journey.
Instead of theory-heavy lectures, imagine classrooms buzzing with creativity, collaborative problem-solving, and strategic thinking. We’ve replaced the traditional pedagogy with a hands-on, interactive experience. This way, students develop valuable entrepreneurial skills such as initiative, risk-taking and resilience.
If you aspire to foster a dynamic, student-focused learning environment that cultivates entrepreneurial mindsets and skills, the Playground for Entrepreneurs is your game-changer.
Playground
For Coaches, Incubators, and Supporters of Nascent Entrepreneurs

The Playground transcends conventional coaching methods, fostering a vibrant, collaborative environment where entrepreneurs learn to navigate challenges, make strategic decisions, and develop their ideas.
It offers entrepreneurs the chance to apply learning in a low-risk setting, fostering confidence and accelerating their progress. This results in a supportive community that naturally emerges through gameplay, where entrepreneurs exchange insights, contacts, and mutual support.
If you're looking for an innovative approach to nurture entrepreneurial potential and empower your community, the Playground for Entrepreneurs is your secret weapon.
We're a vibrant community of entrepreneurship educators and coaches dedicated to inspiring and supporting entrepreneurship educators and coaches. Our mission is to foster collaboration, innovation, and professional growth among our members, helping you to propel your startups and students to unparalleled success.

The Playground for Entrepreneurs is an excellent excuse to work on those dreams in an open and inspiring, yet critically constructive way. Let's build some dreams together!"
