Abstract:

Entrepreneurship is considered a key competence in the European Union, and entrepreneurship education is a part of the curricula in various fields of study. Entrepreneurship education should aim to encourage young people to be socio-economically active and start their own business, but also to support the development of certain personality traits. The purpose of this paper is to identify the dangers of entrepreneurship education and the excessive pressure to succeed in the context of Christian ethics. The article is a theoretical discussion based on the literature. The problem discussed in the paper does not find its well-deserved place in the discussion on the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes. In this process, it is essential to form ethical attitudes by exemplifying theoretical content, activities and attitudes of prominent people who have proven with their lives the compatibility of innovative projects with the professed values. It is particularly valuable to present these figures as successful people in a much deeper dimension than commonly accepted so that they could become much needed contemporary role models for young people seeking their path in life.
