Summary
The Entrepreneurship Market activity is transdisciplinary practice that promotes positive reinforcement through a school currency system, the "Torga", a name inspired by the Portuguese poet, Miguel Torga, who gives his name to the institution. Students earn Torgas for good deeds, associated with positive behaviors (help, sharing, collaboration, social and environmental concerns...), accumulating coins throughout the year. The accumulated amounts are then used by students to invest in a business that they themselves create (goods or services) or to make investments and purchases in their colleagues' businesses. They promote marketing actions, fix prices, sell and manage change. At the end of the school year, the amounts accumulated individually are deposited on a credit card and delivered to the school for use in the following year.
The activity combines financial literacy, mathematics, citizenship, creativity and STEAM skills.
