Social Innovation Competence Centre Development Project (SIKK 2.0)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Good Deed Foundation is participating in a pan-European project aimed at sharing best practices in supporting social innovation and creating a more enabling environment for social innovation across participating countries. In addition to Estonia, the project brings together partners from Germany, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all participating countries, support for social innovation is currently organised through competence centres or networks. The aim of the three-year project is to take these to the next level. During the project, new incubators will be piloted, impact measurement capabilities will be strengthened, best practices in financing will be shared, and new training programmes will be developed to better leverage private sector expertise in support of innovative social initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project runs from 2024 to 2027 and is funded by the European Union. It supports capacity-building in social innovation across Germany, Luxembourg, Estonia, and the Netherlands. The project provides innovative approaches for addressing social and economic challenges by engaging civil society and other organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project involves 25 partners from Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Estonia, who have formed the ESIA <\/a>\u2013 European Social Innovation Alliance network. The lead partner of the project is Social Impact from Germany. A total of 9 organisations from Estonia are participating in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project partners: National Foundation of Civil Society<\/strong> (Estonian coordinator), Estonian Social Enterprise Network<\/a> (KELL), V\u00f5rumaa Development Centre<\/a>, Good Deed Foundation<\/a>, Tallinn University<\/a>, University of Tartu<\/a>.
