WE GENERATE SPACES FOR THE EMERGING SOCIETY

WE CREATE SPACES FOR THE EMERGING SOCIETY

Social innovation, living labs and communication for change are our tools for building a more collaborative, fair and sustainable world

SOCIAL INNOVATION

Social innovation, both human and digital, is currently our main field of action. Our projects seek to make spaces that allow us to experience the new emerging society.

We focus on living labs to achieve this goal. Spaces where disruption, experimentation, personal and collective growth and cooperation, both between people and between organizations, create today what will be the norm tomorrow: a more collaborative, fair and sustainable society.

From our point of view, social innovation, and proposals such as living labs, are the best answer to the greatest challenge facing the social sector today: how to generate new responses to social problems in these moments of withdrawal from the public sector and growth of inequality.

Social innovation, as we understand it:

  • adds value to people and organizations, since it places social causes at the centre of the design of solutions
  • has a disruptive character and represents a leap in the answers given so far

  • involves models that incorporate sustainability: in multiple dimensions, including the economic aspect.

WE ARE BUILDING THE EUROPE WE DREAM OF FROM SOUTHERN SPAIN

FROM LOCAL TO EUROPE: EUROPEAN PROJECTS AND MORE

XUL foundation has wide experience in the building and dynamization of networks and collaborative work in projects at a local (Córdoba Social Lab), regional (Intercultural Networks, Anti-Rumours Network), national (Social Innovation for Communities, SIC) and European level, in transnational projects that we undertake in order to contribute to building, from Southern Spain, the Europe that we dream of: greener, more collaborative and more inclusive.

We do this through European projects that seek innovation in any field of social interest such as youth volunteering, social inclusion, citizen participation, employability, or sustainability in the current context of ecological transition.
