This week, the organisations from the SEED2SCALE consortium met in Zagreb to align on how social innovation can be pushed better from theory to practice.
From Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Greece and Romania, the National Competence Centres came together to look at what’s working in social innovation today, and where things still need to move forward.
We talked openly about challenges (and there are plenty), but also about what it takes to build something that lasts: stronger ecosystems, better cooperation between sectors, and more practical ways to support initiatives on the ground.
What stood out most was the overall direction: social innovation is becoming part of how systems need to function, but this needs to be better reflected in policies, and we remain committed to moving forward on this, process by process.
Zagreb gave us the space to step back, compare realities, and move forward a bit more aligned than before.
