Social Innovation Brokers

The Social Innovation Brokers (BIS) project aims to develop a pilot version of vocational training for Social Innovation Brokers. Such training will be the first in Poland and in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in general training preparing people to work in this new and unique profession.

The benefit of the project is the creation of a support, development and dissemination mechanism for social innovations and social dialogue at the local and regional level.

In the first edition of the project, we trained group of 50 brokers.

Objectives:

• Organizations participating in the BIS project developed practical, proven (piloted), innovative digital and analog vocational teaching tools.

• They disseminated both as part of the project and the mission of the Polish project leader. This increased the reach and impact of the project.

• The achieved results helped trainers of social and digital competences to improve the quality, accessibility and attractiveness of the provided content in vocational training.

• They used it during the project duration and after its completion. (e.g. as a complement to pedagogical innovation in social and digital competences).

• They gained a broader view of European educational trends and their translation into pedagogical practice. A positive impact on the quality of teaching social and digital competences was carried out instationary, remote or hybrid form.
