This paper is based on the evaluation of the program Yo Aprendo y Emprendo [I learn and take action] conducted in Antofagasta, Chile. This program aims to contribute to the development of young students providing them with tools to embrace an entrepreneurial culture in their life and formation. An evaluation was conducted through Propensity Score Matching with a sample of 150 students from five secondary schools. In general, the evaluation suggests that the program has a positive effect on the scores obtained by the students in the creative imagination test and in the narrative creativity and graphical creativity subtests.References
