Study Visit on Social Innovation to Ida-Viru County: How Communities, Youth, and Courage Shape the Future

The image of Ida-Viru County in Estonia has for years been multifaceted – shaped by the shadows of its industrial past, language barriers, and the perception of a region in need of support. At the same time, in recent years, a number of targeted grants and investments have been directed to the region with the aim of revitalising local life, strengthening entrepreneurship, and creating an attractive living environment. However, the most important change does not come from funding alone – it is driven by people, ideas, and collaboration.

Invitation to Participate – a Two-Day Study Trip Exploring the Paths of Social Innovation

How do real changes in communities come about? What happens when people from different sectors – civil society organisations, businesses, and local governments – sit down at the same table and start thinking together, genuinely and purposefully? And what does social innovation look like when it is no longer just a concept on paper, but a living part of people’s everyday lives?

These questions will be explored for the second time during the Social Innovation Study Trip, which this year will take place on 24–25 March and lead us to Ida-Viru County. Over two days, we will meet people who have created solutions that inspire and reinforce belief in the power of collaboration.
