Escuela Creactiva: a space to promote social innovation in Valencian companies

In recent years, social innovation has been at the centre of European academic debates and public policies. The economic crisis of 2008 brought to the forefront social problems that required different responses to find a solution to them. We are talking about: high unemployment rates, the climate emergency, the increase in poverty, the social exclusion of certain groups… and for that year, Jovesólides also joined in creating creative solutions to social problems.

More than ten years later, social innovation is not only an area of work of the entity, it is also present in a transversal way in each of its actions. Now, Jovesólides launches a new project linked to the sector, Escuela de Innovación social Creactiva. The main objective of this: to promote social innovation among the agents of the Valencian system of innovation and to promote intersectoral collaborative work in the Valencian environment.

The project includes: a study that will address the presence of social innovation in the Valencian business ecosystem; structured dialogue actions for collaboration and cooperation between various agents; and a school of Social Innovation (face-to-face and virtual).

Other objectives of the project

With the Escuela Creactiva, Jovesólides seeks to strengthen the structures of support for innovation existing in the Valencian Community and facilitate the dissemination of R+D+i in companies. Likewise, it is also a project focused on promoting the internationalization in the field of R+D+i of the agents of the Valencian system of innovation.

La Escuela Creactiva is a project funded by the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI). If you want to follow all the news and activities of this program, follow the hashtag #EscuelaCreactiva on social media.
