(2/2) Am 8.11.2023 fand übrigens der erste Global Social Innovation Day statt! Ein Tag, der darauf aufmerksam machen sollte, wie wichtig #Sozialunternehmen und soziale Innovationen im Lösen gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen sind. Seitdem gibt es immer mehr Events, die sich mit neuen Formen des Wirtschaftens und mit der Wirkung von Organisationen auseinandersetzen. Wenn dich das Thema also interessiert, schau doch mal nach Tagungen und Konferenzen rund um das Schlagwort #SocialInnovation.

For reference, related to Rosalyn Metz's keynote at #ipres2025 :

"Resilience shows up when relationships do." - Wheatley & Frieze

USING EMERGENCE TO TAKE SOCIAL INNOVATIONS TO SCALE

* Stage One: Networks - discovering shared meaning and purpose
* Stage Two: Communities of Practice - developing new practices together
* Stage Three: Systems of Influence - new practices become the norm

Your support isn't charity—it's an investment in a new model where those experiencing homelessness design the solutions.

At the Youth4Peace conference in Lisbon, inclusion began in the kitchen.

🍲 We Cheffes — fifteen women from across continents — turned catering into a living manifesto of care, courage, and design.
Their story isn’t about food alone. It’s about rebuilding dignity, community, and belonging — one meal at a time.

Five teenage girls in Lisbon refused to accept fear as normal.
Their school project — a biodegradable strip that glows when a drink’s been spiked — became one of Europe’s most inspiring youth innovations.

CindyUp is what happens when courage meets design, and safety becomes a civic invention.

A cinematic 16:9 image showing a glowing purple cocktail glass under ultraviolet light, with a single blue droplet suspended above it. On the left side, bold white text reads: “Designing Safety: How Five Students Turned a Crisis into a Civic Invention.” The design evokes innovation, women’s safety, and youth empowerment.

Some classrooms teach facts. Others teach citizenship.

In Portugal, Ginásio do Empreendedor is reimagining education as civic rehearsal — where failure is data, teamwork is progress, and creativity is a democratic act.

Text overlay reads: “The Gym for Future Citizens — How a Portuguese Classroom Is Training the Muscles Democracy Forgot.” Logos of REDedine, Youth4Peace, and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union appear in the corners.

Some buildings hold history.
Casa do Impacto, in Lisbon, holds possibility.

Inside this former convent, educators, entrepreneurs, and youth innovators are turning imagination into infrastructure.

A living example of how social enterprise can rehearse democracy.

Visible are the logos of Casa do Impacto, Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, REDedine, Youth4Peace, and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. Overlaid text reads: “Casa do Impacto – Where Change Has an Address. Inside Lisbon’s most innovative hub where democracy is being rehearsed through entrepreneurship.

Democracy isn’t inherited — it’s rehearsed.

At Casa do Impacto in Lisbon, Youth4Peace showed what civic imagination looks like in practice: education, innovation, and empathy in motion.
