A journalism, capable of changing data as it emits from collectively shaped teams, that have an equivalent way of decision making, that focuses on society and its problems, offers step and voice to movements and initiatives that give their own response to the crisis and the model that generates it, and that highlights the transformative dynamics of the social and solidarity economy.

The tools comprise of a portfolio of competences relevant for SSE groups, a serious online game and a manual of group activities based on the principles of non-formal learning (participatory, experiential, interactive methodology). The workshop will also present an opportunity for all participants to share information about existing educational tools for promoting SSE and its values, and for supporting the internal functioning of SSE groups.

Β) Competence Framework forthe Management of Social Cooperative Enterprises (13.15 – 14.15 )

Presentation: Anna Koniotaki, Social Scientist MA

The Competence Framework for the Management of Social Enterprises was developed on the basis of an innovative methodology that involved at all its stages the active contribution of social entrepreneurs.  A core finding is that the effective management of a social enterprise requires a demanding combination of knowledge and skills. That finding challenges the design of policies implemented so far in Greece, as regards the promotion of social entrepreneurship  and provides an explanation why those policies have produced poor results. In the context of the workshop, the Competence Framework for the Management of Social Enterprises will be presented and will serve as the basis for a discussion on how to design policies and tools to contribute to the sustainability of social enterprises in Greece.

The Framework was developed the context of the co-funded project titled ‘Communicating Professional Competence’ (ERASMUS+ programme,coordinator: ΕΕΤΑΑ)

6. Creation of participatory small groups

What we will do: We will discuss, through a series of participative and non-violent communication methods, the difficulties we have encountered in our teams, as well as in starting new groups.
