The authors proposed two key activities – project work and embracing an active citizenship – to nurture the full participation of students in a community of practice. Through project work – developing ideas and prototypes for sustainable ventures, lean mentoring, and participation in a sustainability festival – students were provided with a learning context for changing their perceptions on sustainable entrepreneurship. By embracing an active citizenship, students coined potential solutions to societal problems. Individual and collective reflections on class activities were important for them in becoming aware of their roles and capacity to act as change agents. (Less)
