Social Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation and Community Development (EN)
This session is to report the current situation and results of the project, "community, social entrepreneurship and local economy activation," funded by Foundation Research Project of the National Research Foundation of Korea. Three paper will be presented. The first presentation is about social capital and social innovation in South Korea. The primary goal of the research is to test the relationship between social capital and social innovation in local communities. Based on three dimensions of social capital including trust, norms, and networks, the study explores how each dimension of social capital affects social innovation. The second presentation is about the effect of volunteer work on participation in social economy organizations. They used a survey data of 1,900 community residents in areas where the social economy organizations are considered to be active. The interview results on community activists were also used for discussion and policy implications. The last presentation will be also empirical analysis on social entrepreneurship in Korea. By analyzing the antecedents of social entrepreneurship in South Korea, the importance of learning and education for community development has been emphasized.
RIPESS accelerates global advocacy work for the promotion of SSE as a key strategy for sustainable development in a post Covid-19 context (EN)
Aligned with the GSEF tenet of advancing systematic changes at the local level, the ASEC workshop aims to:
Highlight the products and services of SSE enterprises in Asia which contribute to social inclusion, sustainability, and resilience of local communities amidst the Covid-19 pandemic; and Foster dialogue and cooperation among social enterprises, cooperatives, foundations, mutuals, and aid groups to build and strengthen links among SSE enterprises across territories and national boundaries.
Learning for social innovation and transformation (EN)
The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) seeks a change of paradigms, where people and the
environment are placed at the center, above the exacerbated accumulation of capital, in that sense,
education as a liberating and transforming tool transfers those values and principles based on human
rights to its practice in daily life. Therefore, it is possible that, by introducing the vision of SSE in all areas
of knowledge, it is possible to bring the concept closer to everyone, simplifying it, making it more
tangible and understandable. The idea is to motivate people to become agents of social and economic
change through generation of a critical and participatory awareness for a transforming economy, which
is, from its conception, more supportive and fairer, in the service of the collective welfare of people in
the communities.
Education is one of the most influential factors in the advancement and progress of people and,
therefore, of societies. In addition to providing knowledge, it enriches the culture, values and principles
that characterize human beings, therefore, it is essential to promote strategies in the field of education
and research on Social and Solidarity Economy aimed at achieving the acquisition of tools to sensitize
people about the universal principles that the Social and Solidarity Economy incorporates in society and
relations between all citizens: equity, justice, economic fraternity, social solidarity and democracy.
On the other hand, in terms of learning, it is important to consider the need to implement innovations
in educational practice from the paradigm of popular education and the learning community. Since
education is present throughout the life of human beings, this means that education can adopt an
inclusive and rights-expanding stance.
The SSE represents a possibility that contributes practices, experience, and knowledge in the
construction of alternatives to current development models, these are proposed by its own
protagonists from their individual and collective action, so the challenge is methodological: to make
theory in practice. The social and solidarity economy is studied, in addition to conventional initiatives,
through practical epistemic analysis due to the need to build and implement alternative strategies to
the current system. From this perspective, experimental strategies that are accompanied by the design
of methodologies for field practice acquire relevance, to relate thought and action from economic
science.
