Summer School on Social Innovation

Registration is now closed! Please see below for waiting list details....

SIX partners TESE, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and The Young Foundation have come together to bring you the 2009 SIX summer school.

On these pages, you will find all you need to know about the summer school. Please register and pay by clicking on the appropriate tab on the right. Here, you will also find information about how to get to Lisbon, where to stay, the programme, speakers and lots of other useful information.

The second annual SIX Summer School will be held in the fantastic city of Lisbon from 15-17 July. This year, we are focusing on ‘Recovery through Social Innovation’ and aim to use the event to share ideas and experiences (on everything from job creation to urban agriculture, fast colleges to fiscal stimulus packages), while also taking stock of how the field of social innovation is developing in terms of methods, financing models, public policy and uses of technology.

The event will once again be relatively small and more intensive than other events in related fields to ensure it is a really great opportunity for learning and collaboration – with plenty of opportunities for focused open space working and small group discussion.

Leading practitioners of social innovation from all parts of the world, whether from business, government or the non-profit sector will come together this July in Lisbon to learn from and with each other. To join them, register and pay here.
