Services - Julen Etxebeste

If you are part of an organization that promotes the inclusion and well-being of people in vulnerable situations, I can help you create a socio-labor inclusion project, a new business that generates inclusive employment, or an innovative solution that improves people’s autonomy and quality of life. I can add value through project design, fundraising, and implementation using advanced social innovation methodologies.

If you work in a public-sector organization, I can contribute to your mission by working with you to design programs that promote social innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship, developing project calls and grant schemes to encourage them, creating activities that stimulate and strengthen the ecosystem, evaluating innovative projects, and setting up living labs and social innovation and entrepreneurship centers.

METHODOLOGY

Tools to systematize and facilitate the social innovation process

I start from a conception of SI as a complex process oriented to systemic change, which in practice I try to land in a functional and realistic way. I work at the service of people with practical methodologies that make it easier to navigate the complex and reach the port.

I have designed various methodologies, tools, guides, and teaching materials for entrepreneurship and social innovation. In this section, I highlight four, but I have other developments. If you want to access them, just write me an email and I will share them with you at no cost, due to the philosophy of open source and collective intelligence.
