Presentation
During the Enterprise project we hope to achieve a high level of teamwork as all our members have a different role to play within the company.
We hope to establish cultural relations with a partner school in Spain to achieve our goal. By establishing these cultural relations we will be able to learn more about our own culture and the culture of another European country.
During the project we will improve our knowledge of business and finance, through the import and export of goods, advertising and marketing of products.With the money from the sales of our products we intend to run a community project for the area surrounding our school.
