• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the concept and practice of social innovation, emphasizing systemic change and social justice. It details the development of the Élisabeth Bruyère School of Social Innovation, the first of its kind in Canada, which focuses on addressing injustices, reducing poverty, and fostering equity through innovative solutions. Written collaboratively by a team of experts, the book examines strategic challenges, methodologies, and tools for promoting grassroots initiatives, cooperatives, and social enterprises. Targeting activists, community leaders, and scholars, it serves as both a reflective narrative and a practical guide for driving transformative change in the face of global crises, including social inequality and environmental challenges.
