Entrepreneurial Initiatives for Education Based on the Example of the Activities of the Educational Farm Network

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses upon the dilemmas of entrepreneurship development in the aspect of human activity supported by initiatives of local government units and the state. The aim of the article is to draw attention to entrepreneurial activity undertaken for education by entities not related to education. The first part of the text presents the activities of the Educational Farm Network (EFN). Based on the analysis of the content of the source materials, the stages of the emergence of the EFN initiative (brand registered in the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland in 2014) were presented. The second part of the text highlights the dilemmas of supporting initiatives in the field of educational services from the perspective of an educator-training expert cooperating with EFN. The content of the educational offer of 279 units of educational farm was analysed in the context of the MEN 2017 – the curriculum program base. The results of the analysis show the potential of rural areas as an alternative place of education in the “small homeland” environment and at the same time the readiness of rural inhabitants to undertake entrepreneurial innovations in the field of social services. In the summary of the article a reflection was made on the need for further research related to providing the substantive support to the owners of educational farms in the scope of improving the quality of educational services offered to children and the youth who are potential recipients of the offer.
