Since September 2015, the 1st Lyceum of Papagou invited me for a talk on entrepreneurship, towards 2nd and 3rd grade students (that is 17 and 18 years of age). It was only on November 2015 that I managed to spend some time with them.
Grouped in two teams, with more than 100 persons in each, it was an audience rather difficult to motivate. We needed more than 20 minutes of ice-braking dicsussion and teasing to get in shape for the main menu: an one-hour talk on the "Facts and Myths of Entrepreneurship", my newest composition of knowledge, experience and issues for discussion.
What I learned or remembered in these 2 X 2 = 4 hours ?
- High school students are always ready to give credit or interest to non-standard presenters
- How anxious last-graders are with their university exams.
- How enjoyable it is to be next to young(er than university) students. At least, for four hours every now ant then ..
I would gladly come back !
