At CHAPTER#2 we believe that innovation can be used as a tool for social and labour inclusion.
Meaningful occupation is the occupation that has meaning for the individual and forms a part of his personal and social identity.
Entrepreneurship can be approached as a way to reach meaningful occupation and the Social Economy is the framework.
But business lean methodologies are the tools for structuring and testing projects.
Our three proposals:
1) Meaningful occupation through entrepreneurship programs, either for structuring an idea or for further developing it, our incubation program is now open source!
