Qualitative case study of mini-company experiences in five European countries. ‘If everything is told to you, it is not learning. You have to figure out something on your own.’

This research report presents empirical findings from the qualitative study in the ICEE project. The study consists of a 15-day field study in five schools in five countries – Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Italy and Latvia. The field study was conducted during the period from March to June 2016. A total of 70 informants were interviewed face to face (students, teachers, head teachers, parents, mentors, and JA representatives). In addition, we have had e-mail questions sent to representatives from the five ministries. This report sums up all the informants’ experiences with the learning process and the outcomes of participating in mini-companies.
