UKids is the title of an Erasmus+ project and refers to the Youth Start Social Entrepreneurship Programme for Kids. In the project (09/2017-12/2020), higher education institutions and primary schools from six countries (Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Hungary) cooperate with each other. The responsible entity for managing the project is the University College of Teacher Education Vienna/Krems.

The project’s aim is to enshrine (Social) Entrepreneurship Education in a sustainable way in the teaching and learning programmes of the educational institutions of the six participating countries: as part of the education and training of primary school teachers at universities and in the partnering primary schools.

The project builds upon the results of the Erasmus+ Programme Policy Experimentation project “Youth Start Entrepreneurial Challenges”. In the context of UKids, parts of the existing Youth Start Entrepreneurial Challenges Programme are further developed and new forms of teaching and learning about Social Entrepreneurship are established. New materials (Social Entrepreneurship Access Points) for the use in teacher education are being developed, tried and tested, and finally implemented. An action research approach forms the scientific basis of the project.
