Social innovation addresses societal challenges through new solutions, relationships, and ways of thinking. It occurs at micro, meso, and macro levels to meet social needs in a more effective, efficient, and fair way than existing solutions. Social innovation is driven by new actors like social entrepreneurs and requires its own support systems given market failures around public goods. Companies can benefit from social innovation by learning, boosting reputation, and connecting to future markets while also achieving social impacts beyond what governments and non-profits can.

Factors Influencing the Development of Social Entrepreneurship in BangladeshDr. Nazrul Islam
Social entrepreneurship (SE) is a contemporary phenomenon of the socioeconomic development of a country. It refers to the creation of solutions of social problems through creating innovative ideas, increasing social value, and consistently pursuing new opportunities for the benefits of the society rather than private wealth creation. The main motives of social entrepreneurship are social welfare and value creation through the display of innovativeness, leadership, and risk management of the business. The aim of this study is to identify the factors affecting the development of social entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. It illustrates the context-specific nature of the phenomenon and derives implications for fostering the social entrepreneurship as a positive force for social and economic development. Several important factors, which contribute to the success of the social entrepreneurship, are social welfare and value, non-profit motives, knowledge, skills & experiences, innovative ideas, ethics, social network, leadership, local and governmental policies, institutional support, etc.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Final ppt report in social innovation
1. TOPIC:
SOCIAL INNOVATION: ADDRESSING
SOCIETAL NEEDS AND
CHALLENGES
By: JEAN G. JAVIER
Discussant
Professor: DR. ROSANNA D. GONZALES
PhDDS 317: Development and Management of Innovative Programs
2. Introduction
Social innovation is becoming a
buzzword which is discussed
around the world. There’s a
surge in attention and
government support for social
development and social
innovation, because it’s seen to
be providing effective ways for
addressing societal challenges
and possible pathways towards
more sustainable, inclusive and
resilient societies.
3. Today’s global challenges in line
with the Sustainable Development
Goals - from climate change to
unemployment and poverty - are
both economic and social. The
current economic crisis reminds us
of the importance of mobilising all
possible resources - not solely for
generating economic benefits, but
also for anticipating and responding
to social problems.
4. TRENDS DRIVING SOCIAL INNOVATION
First, the traditional concepts and systems are
not adequate to properly understand these
activities. Addressing social challenges by means of
social innovation requires setting clear and agreed
definitions, and creating a new framework to better
understand the changing nature of innovation and
the multiplicity of economic, social and technical
drivers.
5. Social innovations are by nature multidimensional
insofar as a variety of issues are addressed as social
challenges. This entails a significant degree of diversity in
terms of knowledge basis in science and technology.
Social challenges are also addressed by
multi stakeholders (e.g. universities,
research institutes, private companies,
government, civil society, citizens). This
calls for more research activities on
multidisciplinary, and promoting
stakeholders’ involvement—particularly by
favouring the implementation process of
research priorities (while avoiding
lobbyism).
6. Social Entrepreneurs
Moreover, new actors have emerged that challenge the
current established innovation support institutions and
instruments. These actors range from social
entrepreneurs and enterprises to scientists,
International Organisations, NGOs and private
foundations.
Social challenges have a public-good nature. Market
processes are inefficient to coordinate these activities
that directly address social challenges. Prospects of
large profits in the social area are limited, which
hinders incentives to invest and commit resources to
social innovation activities. Consequently, specific
processes and mechanisms should be specifically
established to support social innovation activities that
aim to address social challenges.
7. WHAT IS SOCIAL INNOVATION?
Social Innovation refers to traditional innovation in terms
of ‘value creation’. Its ultimate goal is not only to create
economic value, but to also enhance social institutions.
Social innovation is the
creation of new social
relations and [1]
new ways of doing and
thinking. [2]
Some organisations see
social innovation as an
approach: [3]
8. A pragmatic approach: Social innovation as
‘innovative activities and services that are
motivated by the goal of meeting a social
need and that are predominantly developed
and diffused through organisations whose
primary purposes are social’. [Mulgan et al.
(2007) Social Innovation, What It Is, Why It
Matters, and How it Can Be Accelerated].
A systemic approach: Social innovation as a
‘complex process through which new
products, processes or programs are
introduced, leading to a deep change in daily
routines, resource streams, power relations,
or values within the system affected by the
innovation’. [Westley (2010) Making a Difference-
Strategies for Scaling Social Innovation for Greater
Impact].
9. A managerial stance: Social innovation
as a ‘new solution to a social problem
which is more effective, efficient,
sustainable or fairer compared to
existing solutions; and which generates
value primarily for society instead of single
individuals or organisations’. [Phills et al.
(2008) Rediscovering Social Innovation].
A critical approach: Social innovation is conceived as a process of
‘empowerment and political mobilisation’ targeting a bottom-up
transformation of the functioning of a social system, in terms of
stakeholders and in terms of distribution of material and
immaterial resources. [Moulaert et al. (2009) Social Innovation and
Territorial Development].
10. According to BEPA [4], there are three societal
levels at which social innovation may deliver such
outcomes:
The social demands level: tackling specific
problems faced by specific groups on the
ground that are traditionally not addressed
by the market or existing institutions and
often impact vulnerable people much more
than others. These are typically seen at the
micro level.
11. The societal challenges level: tackling
challenges that affect people at a
larger social scale or across whole
sectors often manifests through
complex mixes of social, economic,
environmental and cultural factors
that require new forms of relations
between social actors. These are
typically seen at the meso level.
12. The systemic change level: enquiring some
fundamental transformation of the way
society, its institutions and actors operate,
for example by changing governance structures,
and creating more participative arenas where
empowerment and learning are both the sources
and outcomes of well-being. This is typically seen
at the macro level. This hierarchical notion of
levels represents a useful taxonomy of the possible
results and aims of social innovation and provides
a simple model of the relationship between social
innovation and social change.
13. USING SOCIAL INNOVATION TO
CREATE SHARED VALUE
For social investors wanting to achieve a
good return the following ideas are
presented as an opportunity to create
shared value:
Preparing a strategy and action plan for
social innovation that is linked to the
organisation’s sustainability strategy.
14. Building capacity for social innovation by
supporting new organisations and adapting
existing organisations. This might involve
supporting independent third sector agencies for
social innovation as well as setting up units within
the public sector. There is also a role for training in
new methods of idea generation, problematizing and
in financial models.
Strengthening the market for social innovations and
encouraging cross sectoral collaborations by using
the power of public procurement to encourage
innovative and cross sectoral approaches.
15. Supporting the innovators to get started and
to grow through business support measures and
by encouraging workplace innovation.
Investing in new financing models for each stage
of the innovation process and specifically for
financing pilots, implementations and scaling up.
Exploring how new financial instruments might
support results-based approaches (e.g. along the
lines of social impact bonds or payment by results
models).
16. Setting up better structures for measuring
the results of social innovation, for impact
evaluation, benchmarking and comparison of
existing and proposed policies and projects.
Promoting exchange and learning on approaches to
social innovation.
17. CONCLUSION
Companies are using their existing business models to address societal
challenges, or even creating social businesses—special subsidiaries that
emphasize social impact over commercial success. These operations can
often achieve what non-profits and governments cannot. Over the long
run, social innovation benefit companies that aim to create shared value
by:
Providing arenas for learning and experimenting
Boosting the company’s reputation
Giving employees a greater sense of purpose
Connecting the company to potential future markets
Improving relationships with regulators and other
stakeholders
