Social innovation is a collaborative process of generating solutions to complex social problems, and one that is iterative and includes many groups of people – especially those that may be more vulnerable or excluded. Social innovation and participatory action are like making a meal for friends and family. With the right support, cooks can make use of seasonal, local ingredients to create sustainable, healthy, and novel dishes that everyone can enjoy.

 

The new Cookbook contains a curated collection of proven recipes that transform urban communities, for and with people. The Starters teach us to understand a place, its people, and policies. The Main Courses show us how to spark change. The Desserts inspire us to support structural change and collaboration. As they rejuvenate their neighbourhoods, the WeGenerate Demonstration and Fellow cities can pull this Cookbook off the shelf and be inspired by recipes (think: tools, methods, approaches) that have already been applied across Europe.
