General description

This seminar/study visit will enable and inspire professionals and active volunteers to discover how to manage the sustainable side of social entrepreneurship, organisational management and social innovation, with a particular focus on the environmental aspect of sustainability. Through the study visits in organisations, youth movement structures, social enterprises as well as social and environmental support structures in Tel Aviv and nearby, it will create space for inspiration, exchange of best practice and development of new competences.

Recently, environmental sustainability has undergone a renewal driven by grassroots forces of activism and social change, and often needs to find a new deal with the business sector.

“Environmental challenges are interconnected and interlinked to economic activities and societal lifestyles. The operation of our economy, contained within our society…depends on our planet which has limited resources and boundaries.” (Bianchi et al, 2022)

In this intersectional perspective, we believe that social innovation and entrepreneurship of young people is all about creating something meaningful for the environment and society - starting from the local impact up to the systemic change. Thus, this activity will explore how different organisations can become established as promoters of climate innovation, social justice and growth for society.  This seminar will also encourage cross-sectoral collaboration and partnership building between various fields (non-formal and formal education, private and public sectors), facilitating networking of several stakeholders to share practices and realities among them, particularly taking into account European and Israeli contexts.

The activity will explore how different organisations can become established as promoters of innovation, social justice and growth for society.
