Community of Sustainable innovation (CoSI)
(Europe for Citizens programme)
ENSIS is partnering in a European project “Community of Sustainable Innovation” (CoSI)”, funded by the European Commission. Lead by a Danish NGO, Global Citizen, the project aims to address sustainability issues through citizen to citizen cooperation. In doing so, the project aims to bring together over 500 participants from all over Europe through online collaboration and face-to-face meetings. During these interactions, individuals will share their expertise in interdisciplinary discussions and work together towards a socially cohesive approach. The CoSI project thus aims at international dialogue and knowledge sharing on the issue of sustainability through encourages civic participation.
In the course of the project, EU citizens will be one hand informed on the EU’s sustainability agenda while working towards new and innovative solutions. To ensure continued action, the project will preserve all the actions in the online platform which will continue to serve as a tool for future cooperation.

Nestor – EU funded Project:
01.01.2012 → 30.11.2012
Employment, Equal Opportunities, Social Security (Nestor)
Overcoming the Economic Crisis with Strong Social Dialogue
The main objective of the “nestor” project is to strengthen and promote social dialogue, in particular in Central and Eastern European countries, and to assist stakeholders from these countries in establishing and expanding their multiplier and expert networks. Based on previous projects (“Auster” VS 102/038 /“ZAUBER” VS/2007/0578 and “INSITO” VS/2009/0470), the focus is on the social dimension of European integration, since these projects clearly demonstrated how important employment and social security are to social cohesion.

The Network will bring together organisations from the social and educational sector, the training practices of which are aiming at leading their volunteers and staff to get skills to better listen and mentor people with less opportunities, for them to become more pro-active to find a solution to their problems. The project can well be symbolised by the fist, linked to the open book: knowledge is power. And it is the aim of the project to look for ways to empower people – to give them the opportunity to learn what they need for daily practice – to find their own place in society and to find ways and means both to change their own place in society and to change society to better answer their needs. The Network will be a facilitator for comparative studies, exchange of experiences and their valorisation and will promote such practices. A real interaction between volunteers, staff, and technicians, target public of the educational or social sector and lecturers and teachers will be created. It will contribute to the improvement of the quality of the intervention by fostering methodologies which aim at a real change by taking the points of view, the needs and proposals of the most fragile people into account when training schemes are elaborated, by identifying these training or learning schemes which promote mutual trust and co-operative relationship as an added value, a real listening, support to the people in need, mentoring schemes leading to empowerment, whatever the need could be. Knowledge coming from these different practical experiences will be organised, structured so that it can be easily transferable. The Network will be a resource centre promoting dissemination of these knowledge and know-how.
