Recipes and dishes – Innovative solutions to social problems

Use a big dose of social problems, prepare them like never before, or serve them to people you’ve never served before, flavour them with a pinch of creativity and your social innovation is ready to consume.

If only it were so easy to achieve social impact with our initiatives. In a joint conference in the Autumn of 2017, the Central European University (CEU) and SozialMarie searched for the secret ingredients essential for social innovation. What kind of personality lies behind innovative solutions? What are the trends in social innovation in Hungary? The conference provided not only an opportunity to define social innovation, but also to learn about the most successful solutions in Hungary that became SozialMarie winning projects in 2017. The thought-provoking lecture was given by Attila Bujdosó, the creator of the Social Design Cookbook. This was followed by a panel discussion, moderated by László Ágoston, SozialMarie patron of 2018. More than 50 people took part in the event.
