This open access book illustrates a new type of formative intervention for in-service teacher
training in entrepreneurship education. The book describes a Change Laboratory and shows how
teachers and workshop assistants develop the idea of a multidisciplinary project entailing the
design of a self-service and parking lot in a dismissed area close to the city centre. The
multidisciplinary project is taken as example of how an idea is debated and turned into
collective action and change the very essence of initiative and entrepreneurship. The Change
Laboratory thus increases the participation of students teachers and stakeholders in the
school towards a new curriculum through the implementation of a multidisciplinary project
connecting school with the world outside and working life. The book features a foreword by Luke
Pittaway USASBE Entrepreneurship Educator of 2018. The manuscript discusses key concepts of
Cultural Historical Activity Theory's Change Laboratory as a formative intervention in a
coherent and accessible manner. Beyond that it carefully illustrates how the Change Laboratory
and its principles of double stimulation and ascending from the abstract to the concrete can be
used as a theory of change to address one of the difficult and new demands of the European
Union's New Skills Agenda.The author takes the reader through the expansive learning journey
and uses strong evidence to show how a new object can be developed and how associated tensions
and contradictions can be surfaced and tackled by actors with a partially shared object and
how a new concept can be formed and enriched through implementation and reflection in a manner
that generates collective transformative agency. (Reviewer) This project has received funding
