SOCIALE INNOVATIE: MEERWAARDE IN KRACHTIG SAMENSPEL

De aandacht voor sociale innovatie is in het afgelopen decennium fors toegenomen. Wereldwijd is het besef gegroeid dat sociaal innoveren sterk verweven is met de fase van transitie waarin we verkeren. Nu de economie weer aantrekt, lijkt de urgentie om te transformeren minder groot. Bovendien is er een eenzijdig accent komen te liggen op maatschappelijke vraagstukken en blijven technologische innovaties kleinschalig. De auteurs pleiten voor een sterkere samenhang tussen diverse domeinen van innovatie, meer aandacht voor creativiteit en eigenaarschap, en een hernieuwde kijk op leiderschap.

ARTICLE YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT: A LOST GENERATION?

 A LOST GENERATION?

Should we be looking for new approaches, methods and solutions the old way or do we have to redefine the realm of labour? New questions and challenges arise. At a Friends of Europe-debate on Europe’s ‘lost generation’, Minister Ruairí Quinn (Minister for Education and Skills) gave an interview to ScienceGuide. “It is realistic to point out to youngsters that the fat years are definitively over, and they are not coming back either. Within seven years China will deliver more qualified young people now than Europe and the U.S. together.” Article by Tony van Acquoy (TSIF) for the EurObserver AEGEE-Groningen, July 2013

ARTICLE SOCIAL INCLUSION IN PERSPECTIVE

SOCIAL INCLUSION 

Large sections of the European population are excluded from the benefits of economic and social progress. The different forms of disadvantages related to educational attainment, gender, age, physical status or ethnic background have been exacerbated by the crisis. For many years this problem was referred to as 'exclusion' but is now re-framed and rephrased into 'inclusion' to offer direction and to encourage new thinking. In the challenges ahead we are looking for the benefits for all by offering these minorities different ways to empower themselves, the capacity to act, and the chance to show the revenues for society. Article by Tony van Acquoy (TSIF) for the EurObserver AEGEE-Groningen, June 2013.
