The day's programme
From a personal topic to an initial solution.
Seven teaching periods plus breaks. We adapt the schedule to your school; students alternate individual work with teams of up to five.
-
Find a topic and problem
Students identify their strengths and interests using Ikigai. They choose a problem to work on and form teams.
-
Test it with people
Teams prepare interviews to find out who experiences the problem and how they deal with it today. Based on the answers, they adjust their assumptions or change direction.
-
Design and present a solution
Through brainwriting, they develop ideas, choose a solution and record it in a Super Lean Canvas. They receive feedback and identify the next step in reflection.
What students take away
Their own proposal and experience of collaboration
During the day, we test the problem. Testing the solution itself is a next step you can take with your class.
A concrete output
An overview of the problem, customer and initial solution in a Super Lean Canvas, supported by interview findings.
Experience to build on in teaching
Students try contributing to a team's work and adjusting their ideas in response to what they find. In their next task, you can return to what helped them agree, make decisions and move their proposal forward.
Tools in practice
What students will reinforce
Students use the tools on their own topic. No prior knowledge is needed; this first encounter provides a basic experience you can build on in teaching.
Ikigai
They connect their interests and strengths with where they can be useful to others.
Validation interview
They prepare questions and compare their assumptions with what people actually experience.
Brainwriting
They involve everyone in generating ideas and build on their classmates' suggestions.
Super Lean Canvas
They capture the problem, customer and proposed solution in one overview.
Your role and preparation
We lead the day. We agree the facilities with you.
Your teacher does not lead the programme. They can observe when students work independently and when they need support. Students' proposals and final reflection provide concrete starting points for further work with the class.
What we provide
- An entrepreneur for consultation and feedback from practice.
- A secondary-school teacher to lead activities and reflection.
- Work materials for students and the accompanying teacher.
What the school needs to provide
- Agree the class, date and a room with a board or flipchart and space for teams.
- Ideally assign the “My Inner Resources” worksheet beforehand. Students without it can still participate.
- Provide teacher supervision and arrange interviews at school or in the field.

I am interested in the programmeQuestions before booking
Which classes is the programme suitable for?
The programme is for secondary-school students, not only second years. Tell us the year group, school focus and your expectations. We will discuss suitability for your class together.
What if students do not want to start a business or have no idea of their own?
They do not need their own idea or plans to start a business. They find a topic during the day based on their interests. Asking people questions, collaborating and explaining decisions are useful beyond business too.
Do students have to leave the school for interviews?
Not always. Depending on the topic, they can speak to people at school during a break or in the field. We agree arrangements and teacher supervision in advance; what matters is speaking to people affected by the chosen problem.
Do I need business knowledge and have to lead activities as a teacher?
Our entrepreneur and secondary-school teacher lead the activities; we do not expect business experience from you. We agree class preparation, facilities and supervision with you. During the day, you can observe students and gather teaching ideas.
Does the day commit us to another programme or competition?
No. You can book Entrepreneurship Day on its own. You can continue the proposals in your teaching; if you are interested in connecting it with MŮŽEŠ PODNIKAT and JA Pilot, we can discuss Path to Entrepreneurship.
