BLUES (the Blended-Learning International Entrepreneurship Skills Programme) is an initiative born within the ERASMUS + programme. A team of 10 European institutions (five of them being universities) have worked in partnership to develop a new teaching methodology that promotes management and entrepreneurial skills amongst university students. Based in a blended-learning approach that combines online with face-to-face sessions (classroom activities, visits to business incubators, project work and mentorship), the methodology has been tested in pilot courses -and subsequently reviewed-, and it is now made available to download for any institution to benefit from its results.
