BuCoSoMa Pilot Trainings …

…. have been carried out by all partners

Dear visitors and friends of our website,

All project partners have been very busy in the last months because pilot trainings were held in all partner countries. Each of the different lessons gave an overview about a certain isolated question or problem which employees of social enterprises have to face every day.

We have had an intensive discussion about the results on our meeting in Granada (19^th /20^th February 2014).

We are satisfied that that the lessons have been successful and we can soon give our new BuCoSoMa certificates to our first students.

The participants evaluated the curricula and the lessons from their own point of view and we also discussed the matter with many managers of social enterprises.

We are proud that we got a lot of positive feedback and good suggestions for our future work. We will present soon on this website the detailed results and the modifications we made in the curriculum following the wishes of our students.

One of the modifications that have been necessary was to formulate guidelines how to use our curriculum because there was some misunderstanding:

- We did not intend to develop a complete introduction into economic sciences.

Just opposite, we want to offer small modules to learn certain lessons – learning modules that can stand alone and persons can pick themup because they are interested in a certain subject: Knowledge they can use immediately in their daily work.- And last but not least: we think that learning should be comfortable and students must be able to enjoy it.

If you, dear reader of this blog, have suggestions for us as well, please do not hesitate to send us an email.

You can download the final curriculum from this website.

All project partners are now planning local dissemination events.

Our intention is to prepare an educational offer for employees of Social Enterprises that will last when the project has ended - lessons that will follow our trans-national standard.

(19th/ 20th February 2014) .

The final project meeting will take place 11^th to 12^th June 2014 in Germany (Hannover).

We will keep you informed.

February 2014,

Latest Version of our Curriculum can be downloaded here.

As part of the economic, social and demographic developments in Europe, the so-called „social economies“ – i.e. public, semi-public or private businesses, enterprises and organisations that are entrusted with social responsibilities – have grown in importance.

The rising importance of social economies entails the increase of economic thinking within such businesses and organisations. Increasingly, managers in the social arena need to handle their business like a „normal“ one, according to general economic principles.

The project aims to develop a training concept for conveying necessary economic competence in businesses and organisations.

Focus is put on

- e-learning (for higher spatial and temporal flexibility),
- the consideration of the specificities of the social economies
and finally,
- the applicability of these concepts in all of Europe.

The specific project goal is to develop a training concept for teaching basic economic know-how that is necessary for the successful economic management of socially oriented organisations. The project partners are chosen so that both educational experts and representatives of social organisations are working together on this educational concept. This takes into account the special challenges of social enterprises and puts into focus the immediate benefits for executives and managers of social enterprises.
