In an effort to foster social innovation in Upper Austria, the Linz Institute for Transformative Change and Volkshilfe Upper Austria launched the UpdateSocial project in the Fall of 2022. As part of a 48-hour ideation workshop, participants from different social sectors - such as the wider community, academia, and the business community - came together to address the social issues and challenges we face today.

As part of a follow-up session, we would like to invite you to join us as we focus on scaling social innovation up by exploring how we can scale innovative approaches in the social sector, as well as anchor them in a more sustainable way.

You can expect:

• Opening remarks & a summary featuring inspirational insight
• A presentation of the UpdateSocial 22/23 Learning Report
• Opportunities to come together with others and share information and personal experiences
• Open space sessions

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect with experts and other like-minded individuals and engage in interactive formats, including our Open Space Sessions. The sessions provide opportunities to propose topics and work together with the community to come up with solutions.
