Abstract
AbstractThis chapter reviews and refines the concept of Future Skills before introducing and discussing a radically innovative higher education model for Future Skills development called Team Academy. The chapter argues that Future Skills are acquired best not through teaching but learners’ self-directed action and reflection in authentic contexts. The Team Academy model of entrepreneurship education combines real-life action learning, team learning, and team coaching uniquely to create favorable conditions for, and actively foster, the acquisition of a range of Future Skills. Based on the example of Germany’s first Team Academy in Bremerhaven, the chapter addresses some challenges of implementing the model in a public higher education context and offers first-hand learnings.
