  1. Do the places where we live and work have enough infrastructure for sustainable entrepreneurship — not just funding and desks, but trust, mentorship, belonging, and room to prototype?

    Casa do Impacto made that question feel urgent.

    Democracy needs places where better futures can be rehearsed.

  6. They are five young women who refused to accept that safety is a privilege.

    CindyUp began as a school project about drink spiking.

    But the deeper story is about young people turning fear into design, silence into public language, and “be careful” into “why is this still acceptable?”

  7. You start noticing it once you see it.

    Not just in kitchens, but everywhere: the gap between contribution and recognition. Between what sustains a system, and what gets named as valuable.

    And once you see it, it becomes harder to ignore how much of the world still runs on invisible hands.

  8. Some places make belonging feel effortless.

    Everything is structured in a way that leaves no friction: paths are clear, rhythms are shared, nothing pushes you to the edges.

    It looks natural from the outside.

    But it’s not accidental.

    It’s the result of systems designed well enough that people don’t have to fight to be part of them.

  10. Under certain conditions, communities don’t just participate in change — they generate it.

    But that raises a harder question:

    What are those conditions?

    Because “co-owning solutions” sounds simple.
    In reality, it depends on trust, time, and resources many places don’t have.

    Maybe the real divide isn’t people.
    It’s systems that make collective action possible…or quietly block it.

  14. There’s a lot being said right now about inclusion.

    But inclusion is often understood as access, not recognition.

    And those are not the same thing.

    For many women, especially those moving across borders, this line is lived every day.

    Not as absence of ability, but as absence of recognition.

    This piece is about what happens when that line is redrawn.

  16. Democracy isn’t sustained only in parliaments or constitutions. It lives in the spaces where people meet, build ideas, test solutions, and learn to collaborate.

    Civic life needs more than principles. It needs rooms, networks, mentors, and ecosystems where those principles can be practiced.

    Sometimes the future of democracy looks less like a debate chamber… and more like a courtyard full of prototypes.

  24. (2/2) Am 8.11.2023 fand übrigens der erste Global Social Innovation Day statt! Ein Tag, der darauf aufmerksam machen sollte, wie wichtig #Sozialunternehmen und soziale Innovationen im Lösen gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen sind. Seitdem gibt es immer mehr Events, die sich mit neuen Formen des Wirtschaftens und mit der Wirkung von Organisationen auseinandersetzen. Wenn dich das Thema also interessiert, schau doch mal nach Tagungen und Konferenzen rund um das Schlagwort #SocialInnovation.

  25. For reference, related to Rosalyn Metz's keynote at #ipres2025 :

    "Resilience shows up when relationships do." - Wheatley & Frieze

    USING EMERGENCE TO TAKE SOCIAL INNOVATIONS TO SCALE

    * Stage One: Networks - discovering shared meaning and purpose
    * Stage Two: Communities of Practice - developing new practices together
    * Stage Three: Systems of Influence - new practices become the norm

  26. At the Youth4Peace conference in Lisbon, inclusion began in the kitchen.

    🍲 We Cheffes — fifteen women from across continents — turned catering into a living manifesto of care, courage, and design.
    Their story isn’t about food alone. It’s about rebuilding dignity, community, and belonging — one meal at a time.

  27. Five teenage girls in Lisbon refused to accept fear as normal.
    Their school project — a biodegradable strip that glows when a drink’s been spiked — became one of Europe’s most inspiring youth innovations.

    CindyUp is what happens when courage meets design, and safety becomes a civic invention.

  28. Some classrooms teach facts. Others teach citizenship.

    In Portugal, Ginásio do Empreendedor is reimagining education as civic rehearsal — where failure is data, teamwork is progress, and creativity is a democratic act.
