he BUFSIE project aims to scale up the novel educational pedagogy of Social Innovation Education (SIE) and transfer it to the higher education level. It aspires to assist educators to firmly embed SIE into their culture and teaching practices, as well as empower students with a mixture of social, entrepreneurial and active citizenship competences. The project’s challenge is to to incorporate Social Innovation Education (SIE) in Higher Education. Therefore, the educational sector must increasingly be approached with a view of embedding SIE into their curricula and thus enriching their existing programmes.
1. Develop a framework for transferring SIE to higher education combining what we identify as the two most important features of the changemaker of tomorrow, namely entrepreneurial spirit and socially proactive mindset.
2. Create a training programme for HEIs teachers so as to support their professional development towards innovative teaching practices like SIE.
3. Develop a replication toolbox with handy guidelines and activities, enabling HEI teachers to practically implement SIE in their settings.
4. Develop a serious game for assisting HEIs educators to easily introduce SIE to their students and engage them in co-creation and change-making skills development by using an alternative game-based tool.
