Students will discuss in which areas it is possible to start a business and what qualities a businessman should possess: honesty, planning skills, creative thinking.

At the end of the lesson, the younger students will reinforce the idea that entrepreneurship is primarily a responsibility and an opportunity to make life better around them.

Students in grades 5-7 will deepen their understanding of the social role of business.
