Learning for Change: BEGIN
Attendees of a fully booked workshop at the TRANSIT "Learning for Change" conference were presented with the BEGIN project. Social innovation experts from the Erasmus University Rotterdam facilitated the BEGIN workshop and representatives from Dordrecht presented their pilot to demonstrate some of the real-world impacts of social innovation on infrastructure and urban planning.
The BEGIN project has implemented social innovation theory as a way to present climate adaptation efforts to the public, and involve them in the planning and maintenance of blue green infrastructure, such as parks, canals and green spaces. The BEGIN case was unique in that it was the only one presented, at the conference, on Urban Planning.
