CSS-EU - ChangeShaping Schools
Scaling up an impactful Social Innovation Education model in schools around Europe is an Erasmus+ project that runs from January 2021 to January 2024.
The CSS – ChangeShaping Schools project, through the diffusion of “Social Innovation Education” model, aims to introduce a collective and collaborative learning process for the empowerment and socio-political activation of students to drive positive social change. Students develop a set of social and civic related competences that enable them to identify opportunities for social value creation, form collaborations, build social relationships, and take innovative action towards more democratic and sustainable societies.
