Impresa sociale ed empowerment territoriale per la formazione ed il lavoro

Abstract

The tumultuous processes of cultural and social changes that are transforming our country and society have led us to reflect on how we could understand and alleviate the problems these changes cause. The focus will be on how globalisation, in its expansion phase before and in its persistent crisis after, has changed everyone’s life. These changes have involved not only life styles and organisational models, but even the hopes and expectations of individuals and businesses accross the world. This is leading to substantial differences between the emerging countries and developed world, who have experienced an exponential increase of their GDP without considering the necessity of redistributing opportunity systematically. In addition, the mediterranean European countries have had great difficulties finding their new place in the world and in the international division of labour. These pages will particularly focus on how schools in general and in particular continuing education can facilitate the inclusion processes and social cooperation, even at a social enterprise level.
