Social(i)Makers project
Social innovation initiatives can create products, services and models that answer to structural transformations of civic communities. The Social(i)Makers project aimed to improve social innovation capacities by working with financiers, entrepreneurs, policy makers and citizens on how to generate new lively ecosystems as a bottom-up result of their interactions. The project established the transnational educational programme to train and connect Social(i)makers through a central Europe-wide learning and innovation community. The project trained various actors to design and launch effective and sustainable social innovation initiatives. Individual social innovation skills could be trained through a transnational educational programme provided for aspiring or already established innovators, a programme with two distinct, consecutive phases, collectively called the Social(i)Makers Launchpad:
the Social Innovatoin Academy and Social Innovatoin Skyrocket Lab (both available via Skyrocket Platform linked below).
In addition, our contribution to the project activities contributed to the development of an Transnatiolan Strategy and Transnational Action Plan for Advancing Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship in Central Europe, published under Documents section lower on this site. Eight is the number of Local Pilot Actions implemented to improve the skills and competences of workers and entrepreneurs, all are detailed below in the Pilot section.
The Skyrocket Platform was created as a part of S(i)M project as a new digital environment for Social Innovators.
A very special space where Social Problems and Challenges meet Social Solutions.
