== What is this course about? ==
Our programme is addressed to anyone who wishes to work '''in and with local communities''' to initiate innovation for sustainabilty. This can include social entrepreneurship. A social entrepreneur applies business tools for solving social and/or environmental problems. Success in social entrepreneurship is primarily measured by degree of social impact, not only monetary profit.

The scope of community innovations is however much larger. It also includes organisational change or new cooperation models. In some cases it can mean initiating any type of business in order to sustain local economy, for example in rural contexts.

Social innovation is essential for solving Europe’s economic, social, and environmental challenges. We need growth that is fairer, greener and anchored in local communities. A model that values social cohesion as a genuine source of collective wealth. It is urgent that students and practitioners from different disciplines learn from each other to develop entrepreneurial skills and social awareness for a sustainable, local impact.

'''Community Learning for Local Change''' is a programme offered by a [[Project_Partners_'Community_Learning_for_Local_Change'|4-University Consortium in cooperation with relevant NGOs]]. The goal is to empower future changemakers through an interdisciplinary, problem-based learning environment that enhances the innovative competencies needed for addressing social, cultural and environmental challenges.

Our online course includes 12 live online lectures and various tutored session on the internet, as well as interdisciplinary and international group work with students from Romania, Estonia, the Netherlands, and other European countries. The online course is open to anybody interested in the subject.

== How the Nürtingen Community Innovation Lab Started ==
[[File:Ideenwerkstatt CIL NT.JPG|thumb|400px|right|First ideas workshop in October 2018]]
The CLLC activities in Nürtingen started with an ideas workshop on October 16, 2018. The meeting brought the project team together with citizens who are already involved in various local initiatives. The workshop resulted in the identification of five relevant development themes for the local community:
* Preservation of the rich orchard heritage
* Sustainable mobility
* Community and social cohesion
* Renewable energy
* An "alternative" start-up center

The workshop was very helpful for linking the CLLC group to the local community and for developing a better understanding of the actual needs and challenges.

== Linking Learning Activities and Community Topics ==
During the first pilot implementation of the CLLC course in spring 2019, teachers and students from Nürtingen-Geislingen University focused on the following four projects:

=== Reactivating the Inner City of Nürtingen ===
[[File:Community Round Table.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Workshop with students and local stakeholders about reactivating the inner city]]
This project addressed the challenge of decreasing retail diversity in the historical inner city of Nürtingen. This process results in shrinking attractiveness and visitor frequency, which again has negative impacts on the city’s overall image and the confidence of its citizens. We approached this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective by bringing staff and students from business administration and city planning together. The community interaction started with a briefing workshop prior to the start of the course on January 29 and was followed by an interactive workshop on April 4 that included students and local stakeholders. The city planning students further organized an event day on June 28, during which they tested various ideas for reviving the city center by means of temporary installations. The process concluded with a final presentation on July 2.

The social innovation ideas of the students evolved around the following topics and themes:
* Integration of student housing into the city center
* Activation of local entrepreneurs with a migration background
* Sustainable mobility
* Improving the usability and connectivity of the city and the river (Neckar)

The cooperation with the city of Nürtingen and various local stakeholders representing the interests of retail, city marketing or general public interests has been well received by everyone involved. Follow-up activities are currently under development.

=== Working Toward a Regional Garden Festival for Nürtingen ===
[[File:Towards a Regional Garden Festival Nürtingen 2019.JPG|thumb|400px|right|Students present their ideas for a regional garden festival in Nürtingen]]

In 2009, the city of Nürtingen applied to host a garden show, and the application was, unfortunately, rejected. In 2018, the city administration revitalized the idea by initiating another application process. Nürtingen plans to submit this application at the end of 2019 for a garden show to happen in 2031. For the citizens of Nürtingen, the process started on November 8, 2018 with an ideas workshop. A student group from the international landscape architecture programme worked over the summer term on a concept for the Nürtingen garden show, derived from the cities’ broader landscape potential and guided by responses to the grand sustainability challenges.

Multiple students also participated in the social entrepreneurship course and engaged with the local community of Klein-Tischardt. This neighbourhood is currently benefiting from an integrated development project (Quartiersentwicklung 2020), which aims to increase local community cohesion. Klein-Tischardt could greatly benefit from the garden show because of its proximity to both the city centre and the river (Neckar). It, however, lacks the effective community management necessary to join the various social groups living in this quarter. The CLLC group plans to continue working on these neighbourhood topics in the upcoming semesters.

=== Embrace a Friend – A tandem project ===
[[File:Tandem ideas cluster.JPG|thumb|400px|right|First brainstorming workshop of the tandem group in May 2019]]
[[File:Embrace a Friend Nürtingen 20190618.jpg|thumb|400px|right|First activity of the tandem group - soccer and barbecue on the river Neckar]]

Within the past several years, more and more international people have moved to Nürtingen. No matter if they are refugees, immigrants, exchange students or foreign degree-seeking students, everyone is interested in making friends. Connecting to local people, however, is not an easy task. Intercultural encounters are not what the residents of Nürtingen and Geislingen naturally seek out, even if they are open minded. Therefore, the vision of the tandem project is to develop a platform, where people from different origins and same interests can meet, get connected and start friendships.

The starting point of the project was a kick-off workshop in May 2019 during which individuals shared their needs and wishes for the tandem project. Representatives from two important NGOs in the field of integration (Bruderhausdiakonie und Integrationsbüro Nürtingen), young refugees, university staff and young immigrants came together.

The Mission of the tandem Project Embrace a Friend in Nürtingen/ Geißlingen is to:
* create a platform (online & offline) to promote a closer encounter between incoming foreign individuals and locals
* get a better understanding of other countries and their people
* discover the fascinating cultures of other countries
* foster the integration of immigrated inhabitants in Nürtingen and Geißlingen

The stakeholders' expectations about what joint tandem activities could potentially look like resulted in a long list of ideas, such as:
Excursions to castles around Nürtingen, going to the cinema, playing music, hiking tours, playing soccer, playing games, cooking intercultural dishes.....

For the first activity in June 2019, there was a soccer tournament and barbecue. About 50 attendees from more than 10 nations including Syria, Afghanistan, Germany, India and Kenya attended.

How did the community benefit from the tandem project?
* Development of a network for international and local people who are interested in getting to know the tandem project and integrating their personal ideas
* Implementation of an intercultural event with sport and barbecue in a festive atmosphere
* First social contacts were established to grow the tandem network

The next steps will include:
* Setting up an online platform to organize the Tandem activities-- This will be incredibly important in the future
* Planning further events in the upcoming semester to further grow the network

[[File:Summary Project CIL-NT STATTzeitung concepts SoSe2019.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Visualisation of a possible StattZeitung development pathway]]

Nürtingen’s alternative newspaper has run on an NGO-basis since 1980. It appeared with a printed edition until 1993 and reappeared digitally in 2004. StattZeitung is an important local voice with regard to sustainability ideas at municipality level. However, sustaining the activities on a non-profit basis is very challenging for the small team.

Prof. Dr. Friedemann Baisch from Nürtingen-Geislingen University got in touch with the StattZeitung team and involved them in the activities of the Community Innovation Lab. The ultimate goal was to explore opportunities of how students could become more engaged in the newspaper. Critical reflection and writing for a general audience are very important competences of which students could benefit a lot, and the newspaper itself could also benefit from this.

Various student groups explored the organization of the magazine over the 2019 summer term, focusing on relevant issues such as marketing, financing, cooperation and new technical opportunities for the newspaper website. The work on these ideas will continue with the next winter term.

Are you interested in journalistic work? The StattZeitung team is always open for new people. The editorial team meets weekly on Mondays starting at 20:00. Location: Alte Seegrasspinnerei, Plochinger Straße 14, Nürtingen, Contakt: info@nuertinger-stattzeitung.de

Prof. Dr. Friedemann Baisch from Nürtingen-Geislingen University got in touch with the StattZeitung team and involved them in the activities of the Community Innovation Lab. The ultimate goal was to explore opportunities of how students could become more engaged in the newspaper. Critical reflection and writing for a general audience are very important competences of which students could benefit a lot, and the newspaper itself could also benefit from this.

Various student groups explored the organization of the magazine over the 2019 summer term, focusing on relevant issues such as marketing, financing, cooperation and new technical opportunities for the newspaper website. The work on these ideas will continue with the next winter term.

== About the Arnhem Community Innovation Lab ==
[[File:CIL VHL Award.jpg|280px|right]]
In Arnhem, students participated in three community projects, each with its own objectives and outcomes. On July 14, 2019 the students presented their ideas from the projects at the business fair at VHL together with students from other studies such as Food Technology, International Development Management and Agribusiness. All the students worked on business plans Sustainable Entrepreneurship. The students' ideas were judged by a professional jury, who decided which students had the most sustainable business idea, and a group won the prize of €250 for the best market opportunities (powered by the Rabobank).

[[File:Students_Spijkerkwartier_(1).jpg|280px|right]]

[https://mijnspijkerkwartier.nl/groep/deblauwewijkeconomie BlueNeighbourhoodEconomy (DeBlauweWijkEconomie)]

'''Objective''': To establish a cost-efficient Green Landscaping Workforce in the Spijkerkwartier neighbourhood in Arnhem based on the local community

'''Partners''': BlueNeighbourhoodEconomy organisation, Patrick Hoogenbosch, Municipality of Arnhem, [http://groenarnhem.nl/groene-netwerk/e GreenArnhem Network], neighbourhood members, entrepreneurs, 2nd year students in the Management of the Environment program

'''Activities''': Entrepreneurship analysis for the NeighborhoodGreenCompany (BuurtGroenBedrijf) run by community members, WormHotel development (including realisation)

'''Chances and challenges of the university-community collaboration''': Well-established group, there is a collaboration agreement

'''Potentials of the university-community collaboration''': Seems feasible, economic perspective, provides social learning
=== More about Community 2 ===
* DeBlauweWijkEconomie is an initiative for and by residents in the Spijkerkwartier area in Arnhem. From our passion for sustainable and living through sustainability, we created an environment with a greater sense of well-being, solidarity and an eye for nature. DeBlauweWijkEconomie achieves this by training and coaching residents to discover and follow their dreams using social entrepreneurship. In the Spijkerkwartier, you live your passion.
* DeBlauweWijkEconomie aims to develop collaborative ideas in our neighbourhood, turning these ideas into opportunities for our community by using existing resources, government entities, institutions of learning and companies. Together we can work towards our goal of establishing social entrepreneurships. Small is the new big. It is surprising how much already exists in the neighbourhood which can be used towards creating new opportunities. Forming connections, creating added value and getting action-oriented – together!
* Perhaps you have an idea for a project in our neighbourhood, your own company or a dream to make the world a bit more beautiful. How do you start? Imagine working out these ideas with other individuals. This is an opportunity to get inspired by the passion of others, use everyone's talents and learn from one another. Companies in and around Arnhem, educational institutions and the municipality of Arnhem would like to be a part of making these ideas a success. Synergy optima forma! Dream jobs are created more often than found.
* NeighbourhoodGreenCompany For four years, the green maintenance company, Spijkergroen, has been operating in the Spijkerkwartier from the DeBlauweWijkEconomie project. A number of previously unemployed local residents with a passion for green and community well-being started this company in 2015. Since the BuurtGroenBedrijf has been managing the green areas and keeping the district clean, the district has undergone an incredible change in appearance. In addition to cleaner streets, better maintained trees, and shrubs and grass in the public areas, new green areas have also been planted in several places. For example, vertical gardens, fruit trees and smaller city gardens where herbs and vegetables are grown are now placed in several places through working with members of the neighbourhood. This was all part of the dream that a man named Marco wrote about in 2015. Wouldn’t it be great if this were to happen? A greener and cleaner neighbourhood, maintained by the local residents themselves is a great example of the possibilities that can grow out of the DeBlauweWijkEconomie. The plan is to set up the BuurtGroenBedrijf as a social enterprise where ecological and social values are the highest priorities.

=== Outcomes of Community 2 ===
* Worm-bins promotion in the neighbourhoud was researched and initiated: production of worm-tea for use in private and community gardens
* A social enterprise as part of the existing Buurtgroenbedrijf was not succesfully established
* This fall a new group is studying the Energy Transition in Spijkerbuurt by means of a narrative analysis method. They will do research on the willingness to change energy sources like solar power instead of gas. The VHL UAS group will cooperate with HAN UAS Social Work students. They are working in a living lab DAZO in the neighbourhood.

In 2019 we will go further with students in their third year in Spijkerkwartier. We will assist the community with the energy transition working with students and teachers from the [https://www.han.nl/international/english University of Applied Sciences Arnhem en Nijmegen] and the [https://www.artez.nl/en/home University of Arts Artez] in a learning community together with the Gemeente Arnhem (municipality).

== Community 3: Sonsbeek-Park Community Project ==
[[File:Students_Sonsbeek_(1).jpg|280px|right]]
[[File:CIL VHL C3.jpg|280px|right]]

'''Objective''': to enhance entrepreneurial thinking within the Friends of Sonsbeek-park community with regard to event organisation and environmental issues

'''Partners''': [https://sonsbeek.nl/ Friends of Sonsbeek-park organisation] , Municipality of Arnhem, [http://groenarnhem.nl/groene-netwerk/ GreenArnhem Network] , neighbourhood members, entrepreneurs, 2nd year students in the Management of the Environment program

'''Activities''': Entrepreneurship analysis for the event portfolio in the park, advice on what should and should not be done concerning events in the park and environmental projects on water retention and climate change

'''Chances and challenges of the university-community collaboration''': Well-established group, needs some empowerment from the municipality

'''Potentials of the university-community collaboration''': Seems feasible, economic perspective, social learning

=== Outcomes of Community 3 ===
* A social enterprise for maintenance, surveillance and work-placement for jobless people was described, but not established.
* The proposed ideas were welcomed in the Friends of SonsbeekPark Community, but they need further elaboration next year.
* The social enterprise was located in and around Molenplaats visitor centre, but the economic basis was not sound enough to sustain the proposed activities.

[[File:StattZeitung Workshop2019.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

== How the Nürtingen Community Innovation Lab Started ==
[[File:Community Round Table.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]
The CLLC activities in Nürtingen started with an ideas workshop on October 16, 2018. The meeting brought the project team together with citizens who are already involved in various local initiatives. The workshop resulted in the identification of five relevant development themes for the local community:
* Preservation of the rich orchard heritage
* Sustainable mobility
* Community and social cohesion
* Renewable energy
* An "alternative" start-up center

The workshop was very helpful for linking the CLLC group to the local community and for developing a better understanding of the actual needs and challenges.

>>> Read the [https://ilias.hfwu.de/goto.php?target=file_24807_download&client_id=hfwu full protocol] (in German)

== Linking Learning Activities and Community Topics ==
During the first pilot implementation of the CLLC course in spring 2019, teachers and students from Nürtingen-Geislingen University focused on the following four projects:

=== Reactivating the Inner City of Nürtingen ===
[[File:Ideenwerkstatt CIL NT.JPG|thumb|400px|right]]
This project addressed the challenge of decreasing retail diversity in the historical inner city of Nürtingen. This process results in shrinking attractiveness and visitor frequency, which again has negative impacts on the city’s overall image and the confidence of its citizens. We approached this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective by bringing staff and students from business administration and city planning together. The community interaction started with a briefing workshop prior to the start of the course on January 29 and was followed by an interactive workshop on April 4 that included students and local stakeholders. The city planning students further organized an event day on June 28, during which they tested various ideas for reviving the city center by means of temporary installations. The process concluded with a final presentation on July 2.

The social innovation ideas of the students evolved around the following topics and themes:
* Integration of student housing into the city center
* Activation of local entrepreneurs with a migration background
* Sustainable mobility
* Improving the usability and connectivity of the city and the river (Neckar)

The cooperation with the city of Nürtingen and various local stakeholders representing the interests of retail, city marketing or general public interests has been well received by everyone involved. Follow-up activities are currently under development.

=== Working Toward a Regional Garden Festival for Nürtingen ===
[[File:Towards a Regional Garden Festival Nürtingen 2019.JPG|thumb|400px|right]]

In 2009, the city of Nürtingen applied to host a garden show, and the application was, unfortunately, rejected. In 2018, the city administration revitalized the idea by initiating another application process. Nürtingen plans to submit this application at the end of 2019 for a garden show to happen in 2031. For the citizens of Nürtingen, the process started on November 8, 2018 with an ideas workshop. A student group from the international landscape architecture programme worked over the summer term on a concept for the Nürtingen garden show, derived from the cities’ broader landscape potential and guided by responses to the grand sustainability challenges.

Multiple students also participated in the social entrepreneurship course and engaged with the local community of Klein-Tischardt. This neighbourhood is currently benefiting from an integrated development project (Quartiersentwicklung 2020), which aims to increase local community cohesion. Klein-Tischardt could greatly benefit from the garden show because of its proximity to both the city centre and the river (Neckar). It, however, lacks the effective community management necessary to join the various social groups living in this quarter. The CLLC group plans to continue working on these neighbourhood topics in the upcoming semesters.

=== Embrace a Friend – A tandem project ===
[[File:Embrace a Friend Nürtingen 20190618.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]
[[File:Concert at the Hub (3)-1.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Within the past several years, more and more international people have moved to Nürtingen. No matter if they are refugees, immigrants, exchange students or foreign degree-seeking students, everyone is interested in making friends. Connecting to local people, however, is not an easy task. Intercultural encounters are not what the residents of Nürtingen and Geislingen naturally seek out, even if they are open minded. Therefore, the vision of the tandem project is to develop a platform, where people from different origins and same interests can meet, get connected and start friendships.

The starting point of the project was a kick-off workshop in May 2019 during which individuals shared their needs and wishes for the tandem project. Representatives from two important NGOs in the field of integration (Bruderhausdiakonie und Integrationsbüro Nürtingen), young refugees, university staff and young immigrants came together.

The Mission of the tandem Project Embrace a Friend in Nürtingen/ Geißlingen is to:
* create a platform (online & offline) to promote a closer encounter between incoming foreign individuals and locals
* get a better understanding of other countries and their people
* discover the fascinating cultures of other countries
* foster the integration of immigrated inhabitants in Nürtingen and Geißlingen

The stakeholders' expectations about what joint tandem activities could potentially look like resulted in a long list of ideas, such as:
Excursions to castles around Nürtingen, going to the cinema, playing music, hiking tours, playing soccer, playing games, cooking intercultural dishes.....

For the first activity in June 2019, there was a soccer tournament and barbecue. About 50 attendees from more than 10 nations including Syria, Afghanistan, Germany, India and Kenya attended.

How did the community benefit from the tandem project?
* Development of a network for international and local people who are interested in getting to know the tandem project and integrating their personal ideas
* Implementation of an intercultural event with sport and barbecue in a festive atmosphere
* First social contacts were established to grow the tandem network

The next steps will include:
* Setting up an online platform to organize the Tandem activities-- This will be incredibly important in the future
* Planning further events in the upcoming semester to further grow the network

[[File:Summary Project CIL-NT STATTzeitung concepts SoSe2019.jpg|thumb|400px|right]]

Nürtingen’s alternative newspaper has run on an NGO-basis since 1980. It appeared with a printed edition until 1993 and reappeared digitally in 2004. StattZeitung is an important local voice with regard to sustainability ideas at municipality level. However, sustaining the activities on a non-profit basis is very challenging for the small team.

Prof. Dr. Friedemann Baisch from Nürtingen-Geislingen University got in touch with the StattZeitung team and involved them in the activities of the Community Innovation Lab. The ultimate goal was to explore opportunities of how students could become more engaged in the newspaper. Critical reflection and writing for a general audience are very important competences of which students could benefit a lot, and the newspaper itself could also benefit from this.

Various student groups explored the organization of the magazine over the 2019 summer term, focusing on relevant issues such as marketing, financing, cooperation and new technical opportunities for the newspaper website. The work on these ideas will continue with the next winter term.

== How the Nürtingen Community Innovation Lab Started ==
The CLLC activities in Nürtingen started with an ideas workshop on October 16, 2018. The meeting brought the project team together with citizens who are already involved in various local initiatives. The workshop resulted in the identification of five relevant development themes for the local community:
* Preservation of the rich orchard heritage
* Sustainable mobility
* Community and social cohesion
* Renewable energy
* An "alternative" start-up center

The workshop was very helpful for linking the CLLC group to the local community and for developing a better understanding of the actual needs and challenges.

== Linking Learning Activities and Community Topics ==

During the first pilot implementation of the CLLC course in spring 2019, teachers and students from Nürtingen-Geislingen University focused on the following four projects:

=== Reactivating the inner city of Nürtingen ===
This project addressed the challenge of decreasing retail diversity in the historical inner city of Nürtingen. This process results in shrinking attractiveness and visitor frequency, which again has negative impacts on the town’s overall image and the confidence of its citizens. We approached this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective by bringing staff and students from business administration and city planning together. The community interaction started with a briefing workshop prior to the start of the course on January 29 and was followed by an interactive workshop on April 4 that included students and local stakeholders. The city planning students further organized an event day on June 28, during which they tested various ideas for reviving the town center by means of temporary installations. The process concluded with a final presentation on July 2.

The social innovation ideas of the students evolved around the following topics and themes:
* Integration of student housing into the town center
* Activation of local entrepreneurs with a migration background
* Sustainable mobility
* Improving the usability and connectivity of the town and the river

The cooperation with the city of Nürtingen and various local stakeholders representing the interests of retail, city marketing or general public interests has been well received by everyone involved. Follow-up activities are currently under development.

=== Working Toward a Regional Garden Festival for Nürtingen ===
In 2009, the city of Nürtingen applied to host a garden show, and the application was, unfortunately, rejected. In 2018, the city administration revitalized the idea by initiating another application process. Nürtingen plans to submit this application at the end of 2019 for a garden show to happen in 2031. For the citizens of Nürtingen, the process started on November 8, 2018 with an ideas workshop. A student group from the international landscape architecture programme worked over the summer term on a concept for the Nürtingen garden show, derived from the cities’ broader landscape potential and guided by responses to the grand sustainability challenges.

Multiple students also participated in the social entrepreneurship course and engaged with the local community of Klein-Tischardt. This neighbourhood is currently benefiting from an integrated development project (Quartiersentwicklung 2020), which aims to increase local community cohesion. Klein-Tischardt could greatly benefit from the garden show because of its proximity to both the city centre and the river (Neckar). It, however, lacks the effective community management necessary to join the various social groups living in this quarter. The CLLC group plans to continue working on these neighbourhood topics in the upcoming semesters.

=== Embrace a Friend – A tandem project ===
Within the past several years, more and more international people have moved to Nürtingen. No matter if they are refugees, immigrants, exchange students or foreign degree-seeking students, everyone is interested in making friends. Connecting to local people, however, is not an easy task. Intercultural encounters are not what the residents of Nürtingen and Geislingen naturally seek out, even if they are open minded. Therefore, the vision of the tandem project is to develop a platform, where people from different origins and same interests can meet, get connected and start friendships.

The starting point of the project was a kick-off workshop in May 2019 during which individuals shared their needs and wishes for the tandem project. Representatives from two important NGOs in the field of integration (Bruderhausdiakonie und Integrationsbüro Nürtingen), young refugees, university staff and young immigrants came together.

The Mission of the tandem Project Embrace a Friend in Nürtingen/ Geißlingen is to:
* create a platform (online & offline) to promote a closer encounter between incoming foreign individuals and locals
* get a better understanding of other countries and their people
* discover the fascinating cultures of other countries
* foster the integration of immigrated inhabitants in Nürtingen and Geißlingen

The stakeholders' expectations about what joint tandem activities could potentially look like resulted in a long list of ideas, such as:
Excursions to castles around Nürtingen, going to the cinema, playing music, hiking tours, playing soccer, playing games, cooking intercultural dishes.....

For the first activity in June 2019, there was a soccer tournament and barbecue. About 50 attendees from more than 10 nations including Syria, Afghanistan, Germany, India and Kenya attended.

How did the community benefit from the tandem project?
* Development of a network for international and local people who are interested in getting to know the tandem project and integrating their personal ideas
* Implementation of an intercultural event with sport and barbecue in a festive atmosphere
* First social contacts were established to grow the tandem network

The next steps will include:
* Setting up an online platform to organize the Tandem activities-- This will be incredibly important in the future
* Planning further events in the upcoming semester to further grow the network

[http://www.wwf.ro WWF Romania] and [https://rewildingeurope.com Rewilding Europe] together with local, national and international partners are working to create a sustainable development model in the Southern Carpathians by valuing the '''largest wilderness stronghold in Europe'''.

We believe that the local communities’ wellbeing can be sustained through nature-friendly enterprises connected to the largest national bison reintroduction plan in Eruope. WWF is leading a bison reintroduction program in the Tarcu Mountains, an environment where the European bison disappeared over 200 years ago.

The bison is an umbrella species that has great significance for maintaining ecological processes specific to wilderness areas. A national bison reintroduction programme creates a unique opportunity for wildlife revitalization, local community development, eco-tourism, research and education. (Source: WWF Romania)

Our intensive study programmes connect international students, WWF experts and local villagers to envision innovative eco-tourism and rural business opportunities in this unique environment.

== Topics of the Bison Hillock Intensive Programme 2019 ==

The first CLLC intensive programme on the Bison Hillock in May 2019 evolved around the following ideas:

*'''The Herd: A Branding and Resource Sharing Community of Entrepreneurs of Common Heritage ''' – This idea is to create a network that will link locals with customers. This network will be a place that joins all the local people who have products or services to offer but are not in a place to start a business themselves. This should give the locals an entry point to the tourism market and at the same time will provide tourists for local products and experiences they actively seek. Through this network, the locals will be visible and much easier to find because we will create visuals that will be put on the doors of people who have something to offer, as well as create maps around the city.

*'''Woolies''' – This team brainstormed the idea of revalidating sheep wool as a local resource. Currently, the local community cannot make use of this material although there is an abundance of it. Therefore, unfortunately, despite its value as a raw product, sheep wool often gets burned. The project intends to promote inter generational learning in the field of wool processing and to reestablish and re-brand local wool products.

*'''Bibi Bison: Videos for Social Impact''' – This idea involves publishing videos with stories from the local hunter community, of which Bibi is a well-known individual. The activity has two main goals: First, to involve the hunters’ community in the change process of the landscape of Armenis, in which hunting will hopefully have a different role in the future, and second, to promote the community by sharing local stories, customs and atmospheres. With this, the hunter community can become an important player in the transformation of Armenis for sustainable tourism.

*'''Bison Hillock Digital''' – The challenge the local community in Armenis is facing is the lack of access for tourists to get to know about Armenis. Bison Hillock Digital came up with the idea of having an integrated application for mobile devices. The creators would like to redesign the [http://www.bisonhillock.ro existing website] in order to reduce the expense of developing a completely new mobile phone application. The new app will offer services where tourists can book their accommodations and other activities. The application will link the locals, who offer services, to the tourists. This way, we will create new job opportunities for the local community.

=== StattZeitung – Nürtingens alternative newspaper ===
Nürtingen’s alternative newspaper runs on NGO-basis since 1980. It appeared with a printed edition until 1993 and reappeared digitally in 2004. StattZeitung is an important local voice with regard to sustainability ideas at municipality level. However, sustaining the activities on a non-profit basis is very challenging for the small team.
Prof. Dr. Friedemann Baisch from our university got in touch with the StattZeitung team and involved them in the activities of the Community Innovation Lab. The goal was to explore opportunities of how students could become more engaged in the newspaper. Critical reflection and writing for a general audience are very important competences of which students could benefit a lot, and likewise the newspaper itself.

Various student groups explored the organization of the magazine over the summer term 2019 focussing on relevant issues such as marketing, financing, cooperation and new technical opportunities for the newspaper website. The work on these ideas will continue with the next winter term.
Are you interested in journalistic work? The StattZeitung team is always open for new people. The editorial team meets weekly on Tuesdays starting at 20 pm. Location: Alte Seegrasspinnerei, Plochinger Straße 14, Nürtingen, Contakt: info@nuertinger-stattzeitung.de

== How the Nürtingen Community Innovation Lab Started ==
The CLLC activities in Nürtingen started with an ideas workshop on October 16, 2018. The meeting brought the project team together with citizens who are already involved in various local initiatives. The workshop resulted in the identification of five relevant development themes for the local community:
* Preservation of the rich orchard heritage
* Sustainable mobility
* Community and social cohesion
* Renewable energy
* An "alternative" start-up center

The workshop was very helpful for linking the CLLC group to the local community and for developing a better understanding of the actual needs and challenges.

== Linking Learning Activities and Community Topics ==

During the first pilot implementation of the CLLC course in spring 2019, teachers and students from Nürtingen-Geislingen University focused on the following four projects:

=== Reactivating the inner city of Nürtingen ===
This project addressed the challenge of decreasing retail diversity in the historical inner city of Nürtingen. This process results in shrinking attractiveness and visitor frequency, which again has negative impacts on the town’s overall image and the confidence of its citizens. We approached this topic from an interdisciplinary perspective by bringing staff and students from business administration and city planning together. The community interaction started with a briefing workshop prior to the start of the course on January 29 and was followed by an interactive workshop on April 4 that included students and local stakeholders. The city planning students further organized an event day on June 28, during which they tested various ideas for reviving the town center by means of temporary installations. The process concluded with a final presentation on July 2.

The social innovation ideas of the students evolved around the following topics and themes:
* Integration of student housing into the town center
* Activation of local entrepreneurs with a migration background
* Sustainable mobility
* Improving the usability and connectivity of the town and the river

The cooperation with the city of Nürtingen and various local stakeholders representing the interests of retail, city marketing or general public interests has been well received by everyone involved. Follow-up activities are currently under development.

=== Towards a regional garden festival for Nürtingen ===
In 2009, the city of Nürtingen has already made an attempt to apply for hosting a garden show, which has unfortunately failed. In 2018, the city administration has revitalized the idea by initiating another application process. Nürtingen plans to submit this application at the end of 2019 for a garden show to happen in 2031. For the citizens of Nürtingen the process has started on November 8, 2018, with an ideas workshop. A student group from the international landscape architecture programme worked over the summer term on a concept for the Nürtingen garden show, derived from the cities’ broader landscape potential and guided by responses to the grand sustainability challenges.
Some students also participated in the social entrepreneurship course and engaged with the local community of Klein-Tischardt. This neighbourhood is currently benefitting from an integrated development project (Quartiersentwicklung 2020) aiming at increasing local community cohesion. Klein-Tischardt has a lot of potential for benefitting from the garden show because of its proximity to both the town centre and the river Neckar. It however lacks an effective community management able to bridge the various social groups living in this quarter. The CLLC group plans to continue working on these neighbourhood topics in the upcoming semesters.

=== Embrace a Friend – A tandem project ===
Within the past several years, more and more international people have moved to Nürtingen. No matter if they are refugees, immigrants, exchange students or foreign degree-seeking students, everyone is interested in making friends. Connecting to local people, however, is not an easy task. Intercultural encounters are not what the residents of Nürtingen and Geislingen naturally seek out, even if they are open minded. Therefore, the vision of the tandem project is to develop a platform, where people from different origins and same interests can meet, get connected and start friendships.

The starting point of the project was a kick-off workshop in May 2019 during which individuals shared their needs and wishes for the tandem project. Representatives from two important NGOs in the field of integration (Bruderhausdiakonie und Integrationsbüro Nürtingen), young refugees, university staff and young immigrants came together.

The Mission of the tandem Project Embrace a Friend in Nürtingen/ Geißlingen is to:
* create a platform (online & offline) to promote a closer encounter between incoming foreign individuals and locals
* get a better understanding of other countries and their people
* discover the fascinating cultures of other countries
* foster the integration of immigrated inhabitants in Nürtingen and Geißlingen

The stakeholders' expectations about what joint tandem activities could potentially look like resulted in a long list of ideas, such as:
Excursions to castles around Nürtingen, going to the cinema, playing music, hiking tours, playing soccer, playing games, cooking intercultural dishes.....

For the first activity in June 2019, there was a soccer tournament and barbecue. About 50 attendees from more than 10 nations including Syria, Afghanistan, Germany, India and Kenya attended.

How did the community benefit from the tandem project?
* Development of a network for international and local people who are interested in getting to know the tandem project and integrating their personal ideas
* Implementation of an intercultural event with sport and barbecue in a festive atmosphere
* First social contacts were established to grow the tandem network

The next steps will include:
* Setting up an online platform to organize the Tandem activities-- This will be incredibly important in the future
* Planning further events in the upcoming semester to further grow the network

=== StattZeitung – Nürtingens alternative newspaper ===
Nürtingen’s alternative newspaper runs on NGO-basis since 1980. It appeared with a printed edition until 1993 and reappeared digitally in 2004. StattZeitung is an important local voice with regard to sustainability ideas at municipality level. However, sustaining the activities on a non-profit basis is very challenging for the small team.
Prof. Dr. Friedemann Baisch from our university got in touch with the StattZeitung team and involved them in the activities of the Community Innovation Lab. The goal was to explore opportunities of how students could become more engaged in the newspaper. Critical reflection and writing for a general audience are very important competences of which students could benefit a lot, and likewise the newspaper itself.

Various student groups explored the organization of the magazine over the summer term 2019 focussing on relevant issues such as marketing, financing, cooperation and new technical opportunities for the newspaper website. The work on these ideas will continue with the next winter term.
Are you interested in journalistic work? The StattZeitung team is always open for new people. The editorial team meets weekly on Tuesdays starting at 20 pm. Location: Alte Seegrasspinnerei, Plochinger Straße 14, Nürtingen, Contakt: info@nuertinger-stattzeitung.de

Chapin: /* EMÜ Student Summer Placements */

[[File:EMU Workshop 3.jpg|350px|right]]
== About the Lahemaa Community Innovation Lab ==
We (Roger Evans and Tarmo Pilving from EMÜ and Kaisa Linno from NGO Ökokuller) started with the community workshops in January 2019. During the winter and spring (2019) five community workshops (January-May, one workshop in each month) were conducted.

=== Areas of Focus ===
[[File:EMU Local Challenges.jpg|thumb|400px|Word map of identified challenges]]

A number of challenges had previously been identified, and the decision was to develop the Lahemaa CIL to address the following challenges:
* Lack of occupational opportunities
* High seasonality
* Competition from companies that are based in Tallinn
* Restrictions on land use
* Lack of collaboration, cooperation and partnerships between state, locals and municipalities
* Lack of rural and recreational tourism coordination between different stakeholders
* High dependency on EU projects
* Local entrepreneurs lack a number of skills: online marketing, social media content creation, guiding, law, making their services suitable for different target groups etc.

==Workshops==
[[File:EMU Workshop 2.jpg|300px|right]]
The community workshops were aimed at:
* Identifying the challenges in Lahemaa National Park
* Identifying the challenges facing local stakeholders
* Facilitating the learning process (for both community members and students of EMÜ)
* Encouraging the generation of business ideas
* Encouraging social interaction between local stakeholders and EMÜ students
* Familiarising EMÜ students with Lahemaa and the local community with the university
* Finding summer placement hosts for the students

===Lahemaa Community Workshop in Kolgaküla Community House===
[[File:EMU Workshop.jpg|300px|right]]
Almost 50 local stakeholders attended the first workshop and the group consisted of mostly local micro-entrepreneurs, officials of the Environmental Board and State Forest Management Centre, a representative of the local newspaper and the head of the local government; 10 EMÜ nature tourism students were also present.

During the first workshops, local challenges were identified and grouped them into four categories:
# Marketing and local image
# Collaboration
# Workforce
# Seasonality

=== Workshops on Idea Implementation ===
During the later workshops, we took a more personalised approach and set our focus on the needs of each entrepreneur who wanted to develop an idea through the innovation lab. This then progressed on to working with entrepreneurs who wanted student help during the summer.

These enterprises are:
# Tammistu Sheep Farm: a small family farm maintaining semi-natural coastal meadows and wants to develop small-scale family tourism
# Muuksi Stable: a horse farm also focusing on family tourism
# Kärka Accommodation: home accommodation
# Viinistu Hotel: one of the largest hotels in the area that also focuses on nature tours and harbour services
# Kolga Manor: an art gallery

==Lahemaa Mobile Tourism Info Cafe (LMIC)==
[[File:EMU Cafe.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Opening of the LMIC in August 2019 with EMÜ staff and local stakeholders]]
During the 2018/2019 period, the first Estonian mobile tourism info cafe was built. The LMIC was co-created by EMÜ and NGO Ökokuller. The mobile info cafe is a place for EMÜ students in their summer placements and local youth for learning entrepreneurship. It will offer local services and products and information to Lahemaa National Park visitors. The LMIC will be fully operational in the summer of 2020.

[[File:EMU Workshop 3.jpg|350px|right]]
== About the Lahemaa Community Innovation Lab ==
We (Roger Evans and Tarmo Pilving from EMÜ and Kaisa Linno from NGO Ökokuller) started with the community workshops in January 2019. During the winter and spring (2019) five community workshops (January-May, one workshop in each month) were conducted.

=== Areas of Focus ===
[[File:EMU Local Challenges.jpg|thumb|400px|Word map of identified challenges]]

A number of challenges had previously been identified, and the decision was to develop the Lahemaa CIL to address the following challenges:
* Lack of occupational opportunities
* High seasonality
* Competition from companies that are based in Tallinn
* Restrictions on land use
* Lack of collaboration, cooperation and partnerships between state, locals and municipalities
* Lack of rural and recreational tourism coordination between different stakeholders
* High dependency on EU projects

Five EMÜ students helped local entrepreneurs during the summer of 2019. They were involved in a range of tourism and business development activities including:
* Marketing
* Social media content creation
* Guiding
* Sales
* Making photos and videos
* Building
* Repairs
* Mowing

During the summer the students learned many new things including:
# In small enterprises you must do everything with your own hands
# Previous experience is extremely important
# How people behave when they are taking a tour
# People from different nationalities behave differently in nature
# Previous knowledge helps to implement ideas more quickly

== About the Lahemaa Community Innovation Lab ==
We (Roger Evans and Tarmo Pilving from EMÜ and Kaisa Linno from NGO Ökokuller) started with the community workshops in January 2019. During the winter and spring (2019) five community workshops (January-May, one workshop in each month) were conducted.

=== Areas of Focus ===
[[File:EMU Local Challenges.jpg|thumb|400px|Word map of identified challenges]]

A number of challenges had previously been identified, and the decision was to develop the Lahemaa CIL to address the following challenges:
* Lack of occupational opportunities
* High seasonality
* Competition from companies that are based in Tallinn
* Restrictions on land use
* Lack of collaboration, cooperation and partnerships between state, locals and municipalities
* Lack of rural and recreational tourism coordination between different stakeholders
* High dependency on EU projects
* Local entrepreneurs lack a number of skills: online marketing, social media content creation, guiding, law, making their services suitable for different target groups etc.

===Workshops===
[[File:EMU Workshop 2.jpg|300px|right]]
The community workshops were aimed at:
* Identifying the challenges in Lahemaa National Park
* Identifying the challenges facing local stakeholders
* Facilitating the learning process (for both community members and students of EMÜ)
* Encouraging the generation of business ideas
* Encouraging social interaction between local stakeholders and EMÜ students
* Familiarising EMÜ students with Lahemaa and the local community with the university
* Finding summer placement hosts for the students

====Lahemaa Community Workshop in Kolgaküla Community House====
[[File:EMU Workshop.jpg|300px|right]]
Almost 50 local stakeholders attended the first workshop and the group consisted of mostly local micro-entrepreneurs, officials of the Environmental Board and State Forest Management Centre, a representative of the local newspaper and the head of the local government; 10 EMÜ nature tourism students were also present.

During the first workshops, local challenges were identified and grouped them into four categories:
# Marketing and local image
# Collaboration
# Workforce
# Seasonality

==== Workshop on How to Implement the Ideas ====
During the later workshops, we took a more personalised approach and set our focus on the needs of each entrepreneur who wanted to develop an idea through the innovation lab. This then progressed on to working with entrepreneurs who wanted student help during the summer.

These enterprises are:
# Tammistu Sheep Farm: a small family farm maintaining semi-natural coastal meadows and wants to develop small-scale family tourism
# Muuksi Stable: a horse farm also focusing on family tourism
# Kärka Accommodation: home accommodation
# Viinistu Hotel: one of the largest hotels in the area that also focuses on nature tours and harbour services
# Kolga Manor: an art gallery

===Lahemaa Mobile Tourism Info Cafe (LMIC)===
[[File:EMU Cafe.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Opening of the LMIC in August 2019 with EMÜ staff and local stakeholders]]
During the 2018/2019 period, the first Estonian mobile tourism info cafe was built. The LMIC was co-created by EMÜ and NGO Ökokuller. The mobile info cafe is a place for EMÜ students in their summer placements and local youth for learning entrepreneurship. It will offer local services and products and information to Lahemaa National Park visitors. The LMIC will be fully operational in the summer of 2020.
