Description

Social Economy (SE) 4Ces builds on 4 for Ces: Connected societies, knowledge Co-creation, Community development, Collaborative educational practices and aims to mobilise those under the Social Economy (SE) framework. Our project introduces the SE Living-Labs as spaces for interaction, collaboration and knowledge co-creation between all stakeholders (Higher Education Institutions, Social Economy organisations, students, teachers, community members) involved in the 4 pilot countries (Spain, Italy, Greece and UK).

Objectives

The aims of the SE 4Ces are:
– to learn new ways of effective collaboration among HEIs and SE organisations through co-creation of knowledge and experiences and build sustainable partnerships to address a community development approach with the active contribution of students and community actors,
– to implement new educational approaches by: promoting the principles of SE itself (public engagement, connectivity, inclusiveness, participatory governance) starting from the design of the post-graduate programme itself; designing a multi-disciplinary, challenge/goal-driven programme based on co-creation of knowledge and collective intelligence, getting away from fragmented modular approaches; adopting interactive and collaborative teaching and learning supported by multiple audio-visual practices and service learning
– to improve the practical and transversal skills of current and future SE organisation members and employees as well as the teaching and interacting skills of SE academics and researchers in a collaborative environment considering the specific local context but also experiences from other places, socio-economic and cultural contexts
– to contribute to community development by enhancing skills, opening mindsets and building a long-standing partnership between the academy, social economy and the community.
