Abstract

Youth participation in development through local cultural values is an alternative manifestation of nationalism. Entrepreneurship education is one of the youth's efforts to be able to develop themselves according to their interests, talents and potential to become economically independent youth. The growth of the character of the younger generation who has commitment, consistency, and discipline will form a character with behavior that is aware of how to love their country. This nationalist character can be built through the development of entrepreneurship programs that combine the mission of strengthening nationalist character and entrepreneurial competence by prioritizing local cultural values. Entrepreneurship programs that have been taking place, especially in universities, have focused more on developing entrepreneurial competencies from an economic perspective. It is necessary to develop entrepreneurship programs that are able to internalize nationalism for students as an integrative part of strengthening the character of nationalist entrepreneurs.
