EcoEntrepreneurs: sustainability education through game-based learning

According to World Bank research, by 2040, one in four Armenians will be over 60, meaning that a shrinking workforce will have to support a growing number of older workers. A significant portion of the population is currently employed in low-wage, low-productivity informal jobs, which in turn affects innovation and economic growth. In addition, Armenia is already one of the most disaster-prone countries in the Western Europe and Central Asia region. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, the demand for entrepreneurship skills is expected to grow in many sectors, including agricultural resilience, natural resource management, disaster risk management, and “green economy” sectors such as sustainable infrastructure and low-carbon manufacturing. Therefore, strengthening the links between environmental and entrepreneurship education is necessary to develop Armenia’s green economy.
