Unlocking the transformative potential of culture and the arts through social enterprise.
Abstract
This Stakeholder Brief summarizes discussions that took place during the first activity of the fourth Research Workshop of Working Group 2 “Social enterprise in industries” of the COST Action “Empowering the next generation of social enterprise scholars” (Empower-SE) held at the University of Malta in November 2019. The main issues raised during the Stakeholder Forum revolved around the social rootedness of Maltese cultural organizations and initiatives. A particularly interesting outcome of the forum was the proposal to reframe such initiatives within the wider social enterprise debate and its challenges. The forum explored links between culture, the arts and citizenship to critically reframe them within a broader social and solidarity economy context.
