SOCIAL INNOVATORS WEEK @ Hotel KAROLINENHOF Wien

22. - 26. Mai 2013

Purpose

• Two representatives of the CCO Moravia will made a one week study visit in Vienna to learn about social innovations - to visit and document "case studies", to apply inspiring an d maningful "lessons" and maybe to also keep in touch and network in the future, when these results will shape the original design of 2 Centers for Social Innovation in the Olomuec Region.
• GIVE and friends were asked prepare a collection of 8 - 10 interesting projects to visit, but we had even more to choose from and we dynamically selected on the fly the most interesting of these projects. And we also improved for ourselves our overview of the scope of social innovation in the Vienna Region. We tried to show that despite the heavy tendencies towards urbanisation, great answers for the future of small towns and rural areas can be found right next here.

Participants

• Facilitators: FranzNahrada, Markus Schattauer
• Researchers: Eva Johnova, Jan Balek
• Guests: Jo Ofenbeck, Uta Stromberger, Joachim Kurz (respekt.at)

Results

We produced interviews and videos which will result in short case studies.

There are many fields of thought that opened and mamy more good practises that were mentioned - some VisitExtendingLinks support that these might be put into consideration.
