Second European Social Innovation Competition
Do
you have an idea to fight high unemployment? Do you think you could
improve the working conditions of people stuck in low-paid jobs –
whether because of their gender, age, social status or handicap? Do you
know how to enhance opportunities for the 27 million Europeans currently
out of work? Then the second European Social Innovation Competition is
for you!
The
Competition, launched in memory of Diogo Vasconcelos, invites Europeans
to come up with new solutions to reduce unemployment and minimize its
corrosive effects on the economy and our society both now and in the
future. Social innovation is not only desirable, it is necessary.
It
doesn’t matter if you haven’t found the right investor for your ideas
yet. We can help you bring your project to life as part of our Social
Innovation Academy. The three winning projects will be awarded financial support of EUR 30,000.
But
there's more. Winners of the first edition emphasize that the
Competition has given them the chance to develop a great idea, to bring
legitimacy to their work, and last but not least, to make their solution
accessible to more people.
Don’t keep your great ideas to yourself. As one of the winners says: "Should you have an idea, work on it and take your chance. The same could happen to you. You could end up winning."
