A Social Innovators Week

The second time a group Social Innovators mainly from the Přerov and Šumperk districts in Olomouc Region of Czech Republic will visit Austria. (See here for the first run). This time it will be 10 people who are active multipliers within their region and we will make a big effort to get them in touch with Austrian hotspots of Social Innovation. Since they will come by bus, we will travel together and this time cover not only the Vienna Region, but also Lower and Upper Austria.

We always think it is exciting to show to visitors what you always wanted to visit yourself, it helps a lot in Austrian networking, and we invite friends to follow up what we are doing, to visit us in the concluding days and use this event for networking.

Also, we see a lot of potential in supporting our Czech friends creating excellent Centers of Social Innovations in small towns, serving rural areas. The questions that peripheral regions face are maybe not so different in Austria and Csech Republic: an increasing process of migration to the large centers, loss of qualified young people, high unemployment and little support for creative entrepreneurship.

We will pool our best solutions and apply them locally.

We seek to arrive at 11h30 in Vorchdorf, home of OTELO (Open Technology Lab Austria) and also now the second village Campus in Austria. We will spend the rest of the day with them. (otelovorchdorf(AT)gmail.com)

On the basis of a feasibility study for creating regional development areas, local centres for community-based activities were established first in Gmunden and Vöcklabruck and then in Walding, Kirchdorf and Vorchdorf. The centres are supported by teams of Otelo volunteers as needed and depending on the stage of the activity (idea / game / project); otherwise, they are self-organizing. From workshops for transmitting knowledge through stimulating “idea bars” to jams in open format, there is room for everyone (and everything). The municipalities take care of basic infrastructure in municipal buildings and provide an orientation 'manual' for groups and new locations. Currently, a cooperative society is being formed as a place of alternative employment for entrepreneurs.
