Tools
This toolkit was created in the SEEDS – Social Economy Entrepreneurship Development Skills project, which aims to create a methodology to teach Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) a social economy mindset and develop entrepreneurial skills for sup- porting sustainable activity.
The methods were created in Genoa, Italy in September 2015, developed in Mexico in November 2015 and tested in local workshops in Finland, Sweden, Italy, Romania, Greece, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Mexico during the first half of 2016. The methods and workshops were then evaluated in two evaluation meetings in Romania and Argentina. From this process this collection of 10 methods were born. The methods develop the topics of Ideology and Ethic, Business Plan, Marketing and Communication and Project Cycle Management. These topics were deemed crucial development points for NGOs, as well as interesting convergence points between the work within NGOs and a business mindset.
Each topic has between one and four different methods attached to it. We hope that these methods can serve as inspiration to your work in introducing Social Economy to your NGO. All methods have been created by the SEEDS team and you are welcome to develop and adapt them to your needs, or even just copy them to your use directly.
We hope that these methods will help your NGO develop your own sustainable activity model, and maybe introduce some new ways of thinking.
