Who are we

Valnalón is a government-funded agency for the development of a more enterprising society located in Asturias (Spain) Schools, entrepreneurs, start-ups and consolidated companies are our main clients and collaborators.

Learning through entrepreneurship

Spirit of entrepreneurship is a multi-faceted and inclusive concept that is commonly defined as a state of mind, a collective endeavour, a way of doing things, a key competence. Opportunities to experience social, cultural and economic entrepreneurship should be provided at all levels of the education system and that is our main goal.

Valnalon designs enterprise education projects and supports students, teachers and schools in the implementation. Our Training Programme for Entrepreneurship enables primary and secondary school students to have a first-hand experience of entrepreneurship. http://www.valnaloneduca.com
