“DOIT – Entrepreneurial skills for young social innovators in an open digital world“ is a H2020 funded project that aims to deliver and spread a new approach for early entrepreneurship education within Europe. The project empowers primary and secondary school pupils (6-16 years) alongside educators to apply open innovation methods, digital maker tools and collaboration skills to tackle societal problems. DOIT has had the support of experts from various fields since the start of the project. Together with interested children, they form the Intergenerational Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB is a panel of selected experts that advises on open questions and also supports the review of DOIT's development and progress. Through them and the establishment of a DOIT network, the partners can successfully work on the dissemination, deployment and implementation of DOIT in education strategies and policies
