Graduate Program in Entrepreneurship and the Department of Economics of J.J. Strossmayer University in Osijek have for more than 15 years been actively contributing to shaping and disseminating entrepreneurship knowledge and culture. This year the Program has joined the Croatian initiative to celebrate entrepreneurial behavior through the Global Entrepreneurship Week. In the cooperation with the Movie theatres Osijek, Ltd. a movie retrospective was put together. The movies present entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs as a universal phenomenon as well as an interesting area of human behavior. The movie retrospective under the title “Entrepreneurship – through the camera lenses” will feature movies which talk about the initiative, struggle and success of the entrepreneurial persons. The aim of this retrospective is to sensitize and encourage young people to a better understanding of entrepreneurship as well as to inspire more interest for entrepreneurship initiative.
