Policy  into  Prac,ce      

Elin McCallum

Sense  of  ini.a.ve  and  entrepreneurship  refers  to  an  individual’s  ability   to   turn   ideas   into   ac.on.   It   includes   crea.vity,  innova.on   and   risk-­‐taking,   as   well   as   the   ability   to  plan   and  manage   projects   in   order   to   achieve   objec;ves.   This   supports  individuals,  not  only  in  their  everyday  lives  at  home  and  in  society,  but  also  in  the  workplace  in  being  aware  of  the  context  of  their  work  and  

being   able   to   seize   opportuni.es,   and   is   a   founda;on   for   more  specific   skills   and   knowledge   needed   by   those   establishing   or  contribu;ng  to  social  or  commercial  ac.vity.  This  should  Include  awareness  of  ethical  values  and  promote  good  governance.
