Brief description:  Social Innovation Academy 2.0 is based on the success of E+ SOCIA project that developed and tested a concept of the first European, a fully online programme focusing exclusively on social innovation. Social Innovation Academy 2.0 aims to take the developed concept to a wholly new level of content, delivery and reach, and make the Academy 2.0 the reference in social innovation training in Europe.

• Co-create compelling social innovation learning materials with onboard experts, engaging in a quality publication pipeline (IO2)
• Extend the training channels and accessibility by short inspiring teaser videos on social innovation, also adapted to hearing or visually impaired (IO3)
• Develop and test the methodology, tools and train-the-trainer package for a complementary, introductory offline training in social innovation, open to interested VET organisations, designed as an optional intro to more extensive online training (IO4)
