Social Enterprises (SEs) represent important initiators and creators of social value and responsible development of the local environment and society. Their activities are primarily focused on creating social value. At the same time, they need to ensure the economic viability of their operations for their survival and further development.
By providing goods and services, SEs satisfy the needs of local communities, support the empowerment of marginalised groups, advance the level of sustainability in the community, or boost local economic development. At the same time, their work significantly increases flexibility, resilience, and equal participation in the local communities, which operate under constantly changing conditions.
To understand the role and importance of SEs in modern society, we present their creation of social value, cooperation and connection with Local Public Administration, and inclusion in the procurement processes of Local Public Administration (LPA).
This integrated module equips participants with the knowledge and tools to increase community resilience, well-being and identity through strategic collaboration between social enterprises and LPAs.
