Social Entrepreneurship Today: Grasping the Challenges and the Opportunities
Interactive session
The participants will be able to work in groups where they could discuss their concerns, experiences and suggestions regarding the possibilities and opportunities presented today through the “social entrepreneurship” to the establishment and development of a “social responsibility” and a “civil society”.
Friday 20/09/2013, 16:00 – 17:00
“Social Economy: being between the private and the public sector.
Presenting the compass to social enterprise”
SOCIAL ECONOMY is a concept with a wide range of interpretation. A section of economy that flirts with both private and the public sector. Pointing out and highlighting the main characteristics of this sector is important in order to make it recognizable and comprehensible and subsequently to explore and unfold the possibilities and opportunities that this sector could offer to society with the aim to implement and develop a social attitude of economy. The experience of those involved in the fields of Social Economy could be used as a guide to those to follow. What makes an enterprise a social enterprise, how society benefits, are there limits, are only some of the concerns that emerge and highlights the necessity of guidance, of a Social Enterprise Compass. This plenary session gives the opportunity to an open discussion, a share of “know how” and exchange of thoughts on the significance of Social Economy in present times.
Saturday 21/ 09 from 10:00 – 11:15
Entrepreneurial ideas from SETreality: in and out social economy
In the frames of the Conference program the Greek partner (KoiSPE Diadromes) of the European program “SETreality project” is organizing a plenary session under the title of: “Entrepreneurial ideas from SETreality: in and out social economy” where we wish to be presented the Italian and the Greek social cooperatives as a distinguished model of social and work integration of people with mental health problems and other types of disability and disadvantage as well. In addition there will be a second part where other models of cooperatives and local enterprises will be presented as an effort to the research, exchange of ideas and know how among different types of enterprises.
