IMPACT ORIENTED
The goal
The Social Innovation Warehouse has been created with the purpose to bridge the gap between youth innovative solutions and other stakeholders that can replicate them in other parts of the world,and also providing resources for young social innovators to increase their capacity and impact.
5 WEEKS OF ONLINE LEARN BY DOING TRAINING
The program
The Capacity Building Program is a 5 week online learn-by-doing training for the young innovators to explore the multiple dimensions to be considered when delivering social innovation projects with a strong focus on impact. The premise behind the program is that the young innovators already have knowledge and skills that can be shared and inspire peers. Rather that imposing content, the learning experience has been designed to stimulate participants to engage with the topics they consider relevant for their own context and encourage them to guide peers on topics they are already experienced. Depending on their Learning journey, Young innovators may go through all or just some of the topics.
