Learning to form clear and purposeful goals, work with others withdifferent perspectives, find untapped opportunities and identify multiple solutions tobig problems will be essential in the coming years. Education needs to aim to do morethan prepare young people for the world of work; it needs to equip students with theskills they need to become active, responsible and engaged citizens. In other words,education needs to become more entrepreneurial.The subject of this work is the “Educational Workshop” treated as a specific method ofwork with an emphasis on the process and manner of work. The paper is conceived asa review and the goal of this work is to, before all, theoretically elaborate what theeducational workshop is, as well as to respond to several more meaningful questionsregarding: for example, the role of the coordinator (facilitator) of the workshop, thestructure and the design of a educational workshop, as well as the entrepreneurialcharacteristics and skills that should be obtained. We deem that the treatment of theseissues will aid all those who, in one way or another, are involved in the educationalprocess, when organizing and implementing educational workshops.
