Becoming a changemaker: Introduction to Social Innovation
This course introduces participants to the challenges and possibilities of social innovation. It presents an overview of the field of social innovation and the various stages of research and development. An emphasis is placed on the role of new technologies in the context of integrated societies.
In the first stage, we describe the process of opening up networks and creating new opportunities for individuals, communities, and organizations to participate in the system of values and practices of a society. In the second stage, we focus on the process of transforming social organizations, processes, and systems to create more inclusive and harmonious societies.
