WORKSHOP: HOW CAN WE MAKE SOCIAL INNOVATION HAPPEN?
November 7, 11:30–12:15
In this workshop, we invite conference participants to discuss what it takes to transform innovative ideas to practical solutions when tackling societal challenges in mental and physical health. The discussions will be inspired by the experiences of realizing social innovations in health by researchers from the academic network of Forum for Social Innovation Sweden (Mötesplats Social Innovation). This will be based on the examples of Kraftens hus (House of Power) by and for cancer-affected, as well as Nature-based interventions to promote mental health.
