Description

Description (EN):

BEGIN will define models for creation and management of social start-ups finalized to the inclusion of disadvantaged people. Marginalized groups – e.g. unemployed, women, young people, immigrants, disabled, ex-convicts, former drug addicts - are counting significant percentage in every partner country. Innovative feature and main objective of Begin is the creation of tools to encourage the creation and development of social start-ups active in safeguarding of environmental protection for social work inclusion and employment of disadvantaged people, which then contribute to improvement of territories both for use citizens and tourists. BEGIN will transfer know-how from more innovative and experienced regions to those lagging behind creating an innovative model that can be transferred also to other regions not involved in the project. Main common challenge tackled regards environmental protection, also to promote tourism development. This challenge is faced through joint analyse of territorial frameworks to identify work activities at the base of social start-ups models and business models that are involving specifically marginalized groups. Non-profit and third sector organizations are an efficient tool for environmental protection, but are not very developed and structured in project countries, except for Italy. Hence, the project will capitalise results of research conducted in Italy by providing specific know-how. Direct project beneficiaries of milestones, outputs and deliverables will be the FACILITATORS OF SOCIAL START-UPS. Indirect beneficiaries will be potential social start-uppers, people with disadvantage employment, employees of social start-ups, research and innovation centres, training centres and employment agencies, as well as legal and relevant public authorities in every country. They also will lay the foundation for the creation of an INTERNATIONAL FACILITATORS NETWORK. This represent the main project output together with a TRANSNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SUPPORTING SOCIAL START-UPS which will be built on the 10 local-regional strategies which will be realised in project regions. Besides main outputs, BEGIN expects additional project milestones being the elaboration of BUSINESS MODELS for the Management and Creation of SOCIAL START-UPS as well as LEARNING PROCESSES for the dissemination of business models.

Achievements (EN):

The Begin project carried out between 2018 and 2020 has favored the creation and development of social enterprises for the work inclusion of disadvantaged people in 6 countries - Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Montenegro. The target social enterprises had a common characteristic, namely a positive environmental impact. The project led to the generation of 2 outputs: 1. An international network of social enterprises facilitators, for the use of Social Business Models as a tool to stimulate the development of the social economy in the territories 2. Local Action Plan and a General Action Plan, for use by social enterprises facilitators, to promote the creation and development of new social enterprises by startuppers and various stakeholders

Each partner will involve on average 30 third sector organizations in the different project activities, which will become so in touch with the other stakeholders: public administrations, research and innovation centers, training centers and employment agencies. 2. One NETWORK (cluster) for transnational exchange of good practice The project stakeholders will be invited to express interest in joining an international network of facilitators of social start ups; At the same time, stakeholders will be invited to identify resources (material, intangible and financial) for the definition of support strategies to start up social. 3. 8 intervention strategies (one for each country) The resources required by the stakeholders involved in the network will permit the definition of economic development strategies of the territories, along common lines. 4. 1 Protocol of Understanding between a public body and one non-profit organization. Within the intervention strategy for Italy, ASP will sign a protocol for supporting the creation of a social start-up, aiming to provide building maintenance services. This protocol will be used as a benchmark to follow up the other regional strategies. Starting from 8 territorial development strategies, an Action Plan will be made to be shared between all interested parties of the network. So, relatively to the Programme result indicator 1 ACTION PLAN will be developed by transnational innovation networks and clusters
