Playing to start: EGIDEV and the power of simulation in entrepreneurial education
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article autoethnographically explores the development and implementation of EGIDEV- the Educational Game in Digital Entrepreneurship for VET Students - through the eyes of one of its partners. EGIDEV is not merely a game; it is a journey that empowers learners to test ideas, confront real-life business dilemmas, and build a foundation for entrepreneurial action. Grounded in experiential learning, the project encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to validate and verify their ideas before entering the marketplace. This reflection situates EGIDEV within the wider European context of the entrepreneurial intention-action gap and argues for a more immersive, skill-based approach to entrepreneurship education.
