Our principal activities in 2016/2017 so far were spread across 3 main themes: social entrepreneurship, leadership and peer exchange and social innovation.

The principal activity of the company continued to be developing, connecting and supporting third sector leaders, including social entrepreneurs in Europe so that: their organisations pursue a defined mission; are professional and passionate; are well-led; are well-governed and accountable; and are innovative. The company is a non-profit-making organisation limited by guarantee without share capital.


SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
EN and its partners organized 63 exchanges for entrepreneurs in 2016-17 (25 for social entrepreneurs) under the SEED7 project, which concluded with the Gathering to Grow I in Lisbon in January 2017 – an alumni event for SEED7 participants. Gathering to Grow II was then held at the European Parliament in concert with French Member MOUVES and Guillaume Balas MEP – with this, EN and its Members joined the call for an EU Action Plan on Social Economy Enterprises. In a parallel initiative, EN and partners brought the SEED Euro-Med parallel initiative to a successful conclusion with 29 exchanges being concluded between social entrepreneurs in the EU and the Southern Neighbourhood (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia). Under a project on women’s economic empowerment (“WeGO”), in which it is a partner, EN designed and delivered a mutual learning event for women’s rights NGOs (September 2016) and contributed its social enterprise knowledge to a draft toolkit for economic empowerment of women victims of intimate partner violence.

LEADERSHIP and PEER EXCHANGES
EN recruited nine civil society and social enterprise leaders from Hungary for its PeerEX programme with American experts (through webinars) and British leaders (in a one-week study visit to Edinburgh and Glasgow). Funded by the British and American Embassies in Budapest, this project offered practical support to the sector in Hungary which has come under significant political pressure. The company launched a new research and development project on third sector leadership in December 2016 in partnership with academic and practice partners from five countries. EU3LEADER will scope the implications for entrepreneurial and leadership competences of the changing operating environment for the third sector.

SOCIAL INNOVATION
Working closely with the INNOSI project coordinator, EN guided the impact partners on their strategies and actions for ‘knowledge mobilization’, i.e. making research results relevant to policy-makers and stakeholders. The INNOSI research concerns the transition of classical European welfare states from social protection to social investment and examines how this is happening in 20 in-depth case studies. MYWAY

OPERATIONAL MATTERS
EN launched a new website and logo in December 2016 accompanied by a new contact and member management system.
