Enterprise without Borders is a secondary school and/or college programme that teaches the value and importance of international trade and the practical skills necessary to do business across borders. Each Enterprise without Borders site forms a business entity and negotiates a partnership agreement with one or more other sites in other countries.
A website is available to help the matching between student companies interested in a joint venture or an import-export business. Students from different countries will register and post their offer to participate in the programme and supply information for a marketplace where products are on display and research on trading can occur. The programme encourages twinning between schools and teachers.
