Novel Educational Model Enabling Social Innovation Skills (NEMESIS)
NEMESIS was an Horizon 2020 project that aimed to create and test an educational model to bring social innovation philosophy to primary and secondary students.
For three years, thirteen members from seven EU countries worked together to develop a model that embeded the competences and philosophy of social innovation into schools.
​
We created materials, resources and networks to help educators add social innovation principles to their teaching practice. Our approach was fundamentally practical: the project includes education and social innovation experts but also social entrepreneurs and schools who carried out the first pilot.

Project duration: December 2019 - July 2021
