Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Our consortium will investigate innovative approaches in three fields of social services: health, education, and welfare. To do so, we will focus on two levels: (i) the status quo of research in these fields and (ii) the input from practitioners who have developed innovative social services. Special attention will be paid to the transferability of elements, the European value, effects on gender and migration issues as well as on promoting equality and building sustainability, future scenarios involving the quality of services in different perspectives (policy makers, service organizations, user groups etc.), and the accessibility and affordability of services. Thus, our proposal will combine the practical knowledge of praxis organizations with the input from research findings in order to unclose new perspectives and future trends. In a rather unique way using new media and innovative technologies, we will produce distributive material (videos, picture samples, case study brochures) to discuss innovative case studies from all over Europe with stakeholders and researchers. Our main communication tools are based on information technologies, completed by regional workshops. The involvement of many and various national and international stakeholders is the decisive feature of the proposal. We plan to use a peer recommendation approach as well as a snowball sampling method in order to collect and identify good practice examples of innovative services. The disseminating strategy will follow a twin-track approach so that all different kind of stakeholders can benefit from the process as well as from the final product of the project. The final product will be a report indicating the key trends and key elements of innovative services in the fields of health, education, and welfare. It can be used to identify further research agendas as well as to develop new models of social services or to implement existing innovative approaches.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A social platform has been created to assist stakeholders with good practice measures in forthcoming social services research.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Despite differences in local circumstances, the social services sector across Europe shares common features and challenges. Tackling these challenges requires innovation, and social service stakeholders can benefit from sharing knowledge, experience and solutions.
Towards that end, one of the features of the project 'Innovative social services platform' (http://www.inno-serv.eu/ (INNOSERV)) was the establishment of an online portal and forum to enable European social service professionals, academics, policymakers and other stakeholders to interact within and across borders. The project received financial support from the 'Socio-economic sciences and humanities' (SSH) theme of the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
Development of the INNOSERV platform focused on four aspects: innovative social service practices, theoretical discussions, linking empirical evidence to theoretical discourse, and proposing a research agenda. The website includes a news service, a blog, discussion forums, a members' area and information on related projects.
In addition to setting up the e-platform, the consortium carried out an extensive literature review to ascertain what innovation means in the European social services sector.
Drawing on contacts with 750 service providers, INNOSERV gathered 167 innovative practices in health, education and welfare from 20 European countries. Of these 167, 20 were selected for further exploration, including the production of video presentations.
From that point on, much was accomplished. The video material was discussed and international workshops were held. In addition to various dissemination activities over the course of the project, a web-based platform was developed and improved on regularly. A research agenda for stakeholders was drafted and assessed for validity and feasibility.
The examination of innovative approaches has assisted in pinpointing further research needed and also enabled the development of new models of social services.
