About us
The Social Innovation Ecosystem Strengthening project (CRAFT) is designed to promote social entrepreneurship and amplify the impact of social and impact-driven initiatives throughout Europe. Our approach involves organizing events, summits, and creating a digital ecosystem to foster stronger connections and collaboration among social innovation actors. By establishing a European peer-to-peer academy and collecting best practices and tools, we aim to empower social entrepreneurs and support organizations, ultimately leading to sustainable change within the European social innovation ecosystem. The significance of strengthening the social innovation ecosystem cannot be overstated. A robust ecosystem is essential for addressing societal challenges, promoting inclusive economic growth, and driving positive social change. By forging connections between social entrepreneurs, SMEs, accelerators, investors, industry, philanthropy societies, universities, and public entities, we can unlock the full potential of social innovation. Our project recognizes the need to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to resources in order to create a thriving ecosystem that nurtures innovative solutions to complex problems. Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or EISMEA.

💡 We love tools for Social and Impact-Driven Entrepreneurs! Co-creation is all around us whether we like it or not at times. And having a great team or stakeholders to create alongside is an ongoing plant to water and nourish. 🌱 To support social innovators in the Latvian, Romanian, and Croatian ecosystems, we've drafted an enhanced version of the ‘Team Member User Manual’ canvas for honing a successful team. Here’s what we’ve improved on the canvas: 👉Getting started: Added guidance instructions on how to use the tool, what to look out for, and best practices. 👉Expanding beyond work: Added new sections and prompts to the manual itself including personal preferences, values and impact positions, accessibility considerations, optimal wellbeing conditions and leveraging interests or hobbies. 👉Practical Implementation: Added an extra part with a suggestion on how to run a Team User Manual workshop. 👀Curious to see the first improved versions of the tools? Then join us for a CRAFT toolkit showcase & testing session! 📍Date: October 24th ⏰Time: 15.00 - 15.45 CET ✍How: It is online.
