Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a platform tailored to give teachers and trainers appropriate knowledge, skills, and innovative tools in the domain of the entrepreneurial education. To this end, a social network is created where teachers can formally or informally share experiences supporting their peers with technical training, along with theory and practical examples deriving from mutual and practical experiences in entrepreneurship. In this perspective, the platform through a systematic and intelligent use of metadata is able to offer an innovative social network specially tailored for teachers in order to valorize their competencies and to fit their expectations.
