Over 300 participants in Cyprus, Denmark, France and Spain responded positively to the initiative and reported a better understanding of entrepreneurship. Qualitative and quantitative results also showed that Design Thinking based strategies are effective to foster entrepreneurial skills such as creativity, problem solving and self-confidence. Interestingly however, experimentation results reported a negative impact on collaboration related skills. [-]
