SENSENET - Social Enterprises Sustainability Network is a project focused on creating a Learning Network Model to support Social Economy Enterprises managers and human resources, who face challenges in dealing with the recruitment, welcome and retention of vulnerable people.
SENSENET aims to raise awareness on social economy and its importance as an engine of social innovation and to foster mutual learning and exchange of good practices among different European countries on diversity management in social economy.

Short-term Joint Staff Training Event organized by DLF
|
The Joint Staff Training Event was hosted by SENSENET partner DLF in June 2020.
The SENSENET partners agreed on the goal of the Join Staff Training to test the viability of the Coaching Module and collect data on the possible use of SENSENET while enabling the participants to use and promote the usage of the SENSENET tools. Due to the ongoing pandemic in Europe a physical meeting in Denmark, as anticipated, was not possible and therefore the workshops were hosted online. The participation for the three workshop days (6 hours in total) was supported by a Learning Management System as well as a video conference tool. The facilitation was carried out by Kate Maria Vinther, Dr. Glenn Frommer, Jan W. Andreassen and Robert Vollstedt and supported by the SENSENET partner organizations. About 33 people participated during the workshop days (03/06, 09/06 & 12/06), averaging on about 25 people per day. Read the summary report here. |

Portugal - Pilot training on the topic "Performance and Inclusion of the Social Economy" under the SENSENET program
The mission of Aproximar (one of the Portuguese partners) is to value the social and human capital of organizations as a strategy to sustainably respond to challenges and opportunities raised by the environment. In this sense, Aproximar has worked in the past years to the growth of the social economy in Portugal, namely through the capacity-building of managers and social entrepreneurs. The main focus has been on strategic planning, creation of social business plans or organizational management, introducing interactive methodologies that encourage participants to self-reflect and go deeper into their work. Several sessions have already been held, the most recent one being a pilot training on the topic "Performance and Inclusion of the Social Economy" under the SENSENET program. This training took place between January and February 2020 and aimed to empower Social Economy organizations in terms of performance and diversity management. We counted with 11 participants from 8 organizations across the Lisbon area.
