(09 November 2018) – This year’s winners of the European Social Innovation Competition were announced last night at an awards ceremony at the Albert Hall in Brussels.
Under the theme ‘RE:THINK LOCAL’, the 2018 edition of the European Social Innovation Competition recognises projects that turn local challenges emerging from the changing economy into opportunities for younger generations.
The winning projects are a digital travel platform for deaf people (Ulisse), an incubation programme for young people who want to set up a business (HeritageLab) and a career orientation venture for young people from small towns and rural areas (Career Bus).
Each winner receives a €50,000 prize to further develop and implement their ideas and a trophy, designed and produced by Paris-based artist William Amor with recycled materials.
