Online:Join us for SICoM's Final International Event – 19 November
How can we turn social innovation ideas into real solutions for the complex challenges communities across Europe face today?
In many towns and regions, the ingredients are already there: social entrepreneurs and innovators, community hubs and networks, and municipalities or regional authorities willing to experiment. What is often missing is someone who connects them. That person builds trust between the public sector and grassroots initiatives, turns shared ambitions into joint action and makes the impact visible to decision-makers.
The EU-funded Social Impact Community Manager (SICoM) project has explored exactly this question. It developed a programme to equip aspiring changemakers with the skills and knowledge to strengthen their local communities. By professionalising the role of the Social Impact Community Manager and embedding impact thinking at the local level, the project contributes to more inclusive, resilient and collaborative local development.
We're excited to share the results with you at SICoM's Final International Event!
