Leveraging partnerships between SEs and LPAs (municipalities) for community grow

This unit addresses effective partnerships between social enterprises and LPAs by using available resources, knowledge, and expertise to address local challenges and create solutions tailored to the needs of local communities. The participating stakeholders aim to improve service accessibility, promote sustainable development and strengthen community engagement through collaboration. To address this area, we will present the importance of partnerships between social enterprises and LPAs (municipalities), the positive outcomes of their cooperation and the possible approaches for improving such alliances.

Participants will learn about the importance of collaboration between social enterprises and LPAs in achieving sustainable community development goals. They will be informed how social enterprises and LPAs can work together to address various local issues, such as poverty or unemployment, while increasing community well-being. The possible approaches to building trust and cooperation between social enterprises and LPAs through an active approach, such as transparent communication is also in the core of the unit, same as the importance of joint planning for increasing overall community resilience and identity.
