Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Sustainable development has become a buzzword in all fields and domains. Since the Brundtland Report, several attempts to exactly define the meaning of it appeared, even if not always consensual, inclusive, or convergent. However, SD is a holistic notion, encompassing economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental dimensions. Inclusive development is one of the 17 central elements of the Sustainable Development Goals. It follows the United Nations Development Programme's human development approach and joins in the standards and values of human rights. The chapter aims to reflect on the gender inequality problematic and explore how higher education can have an important role on this ongoing process. After a literature review, a co-creation project in IPCA, Portugal is presented. Conclusion seems to point out that education for entrepreneurship, namely through active learning methodologies, can develop the needed 21st century skills, especially if learned in active entrepreneurial education systems and oriented to reach inclusive sustainable development.
