Related to the project in wintersemester 2023/2024 two courses are offered:
Model seminar ,Social Entrepeneurship and Intrapreneurship: innovative action in social services| 2EP119002V | Lecture / Prof. Dr. Johannes Schädler & social entrepreneur research team
The model seminar is based on the results of the project “Social Entrepreneurship and Social Intrapreneurship” at the Centre for Planning and Development of Social Services (ZPE). The project deals with the implementation of innovations in the social sector. It deals with topics of founding new social enterprises of various kinds (social entrepreneurship) as well as topics of entrepreneurial design of innovation projects in existing social enterprises (social intrapreneurship). The project results were transferred into a seminar programme, which we want to work through with students
and interested external participants. Innovative teaching forms and time formats are to be developed and tested, which are otherwise more familiar from the field of adult education (https://zpe.uni-siegen.de/social-entrepreneurship/). Accordingly, the course is divided into three sections, each of which takes place on Fr and Sat. In the first part of the course, we will work on basic terms and concepts related to social entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, as well as approaches to entrepreneurial action in the social economy. We will talk about social start-ups, innovations and hybrid forms of organisation in the social sector. In the second part of the course, start-up and innovation skills are developed using concrete practical examples. In the third part of the course, the planning and implementation of different start-up and innovation concepts will be tested in a ‘business game’. In addition, examples of successful concepts and business plans are presented.
From the disability institution to social enterprises – Impact of conzeptional innovations on local support systems| 2EP119001V | Lecture / / Prof. Dr. Johannes Schädler & social entrepreneur research team
Using the example of the support system for people with disabilities, the course deals with how the support concepts, legal ,organisational and financing forms as well as the provider structures of social services have changed over time. In doing so, we mainly ask about the mechanisms and effects of economisation on the support practice in this field. At the same time, we try to understand how conceptual innovation affects local support systems. Specifically, the seminar paper refers to current research results on the structure of social services in the district of Siegen-Wittgeenstein. This includes the results of a survey of managers. The district of Siegen-Wittgenstein can be considered a typical NRW district in socio-economic, socio-geographical and demographic terms, so the findings are also of supra-regional relevance.
