Social Playground is an initiative developed by Jump In! & Snatu, 2 entrepreneur cooperatives founded as a spin-off of the 2nd generation of the Entrepreneurial Leadership and Innovation degree of the Mondragon University.

We are part of the Mondragon Team Academy community, where team working is the base of the activity. This Entrepreneurship unit (Team Academy) was founded in the University of Applied Sciences of Jyväskylä (Finland) in 1993.

PARTNERS

Spain & Basque Country

Mondragon University

Mondragon Unibertsitatea is a young university, created in 1997 and officially recognised by Law 4/1997 of 30th May.

The University was created by the association of three educational cooperatives, with the guarantee of an extensive career and experience in the world of education.

Polytechnic School

Faculty of Bussiness Studies

Faculty of Humanities and Education

Culinary Science Faculty

At Mondragon Unibertsitatea they have a commitment towards social transformation, which is specified in our participatory model. They are a cooperative university, which belongs to the Mondragon Corporation, with a clear human vocation and a commitment to our environment, our society and our time.

Their teaching model involves a system of relationships which, with the educational system as the central theme, aims to involve the companies and institutions in the area, in order to guarantee social accessibility, the combination of work and study, the development of research and the provision of Continuing Education.

One of the main characteristics of Mondragon Unibertsitatea is their close and permanent relationship with the working world, enabling them to outline our educational offer by adapting it to the needs of companies and organisations.

Their relationship with Mondragon Corporation – which contains 230 companies and institutions and more than 70,000 workers – along with the agreements they have with numerous companies and organisations from various sectors, enables the students to come into direct contact with the working world right from the start of their studies.

Innobasque

Is the Basque Innovation Agency.

Their Vision: To turn Euskadi “THE” European innovation benchmark.

Their Mission: To drive the process of transforming Euskadi towards an innovating society

in all spheres, for which their are working to weave complicities, define priorities, forge a strong bond between public and private agents and to foster the demand and necessary stimulus in companies and society as a whole.

Because they believe that:

• Innovation is the driver of economic and social change which we have to address in a

global environment marked by swift change.

• Shared private-public leadership is required.

• It is essential to share actions, strategies and outlooks in all spheres.

The Hub

The HUB is about the power of innovation through collaboration.

They believe there is no shortage of good ideas to solve the issues of our time. But there is an acute lack of collaboration and support structures to help make them happen. The HUB was founded to address this need.

They set out to create spaces that combine the best of a trusted community, innovation lab, business incubator and the comforts of home.Spaces with all the tools and trimmings needed to grow and develop innovative ventures for the world. But above all, spaces for meaningful encounters, exchange and inspiration, full of diverse people doing amazing things.

The idea has been spreading like wildfire and resulted in the emergence of a global movement. To date, there are 30+ open HUBs and many more in the making, from London to San Francisco, Johannesburg, Melbourne and Sao Paulo.

Green Drinks

A green link is any type of connection that results in a step toward environmentally responsible development. Green links come in many forms. A green link can be as straightforward as someone making the mental connection that taking the metro instead of taking a taxi can contribute to improving air quality in their local area. Another simple example would be professionals who connected at a GDC networking event begin to collaborate on a new green initiative; which is exactly how e8 resources was founded (www.e8resources.com).

Through events, initiatives and educational programs, we encourage organizations, students and communities to collaborate and take action on environmental issues. We:

• Create and support projects and initiatives.

• Empower people to take action by linking them to causes.

• Design custom events, educational workshops and adventures.

Design Inspired by its Bauhaus heritage and converted for the purpose of office and commercial use, Anken Green is committed to the implementation and promotion of energy efficient practices and environmentally sensitive design. Anken Green is ideal for companies who share the same values; a love for restored warehouses and a sense of responsibility for our environment.

Net Impact inspires a new generation to use their careers to tackle the world’s toughest social and environmental problems. We empower student and professional leaders to act locally though our vibrant chapter network and connect globally online and through our flagship conference. By 2020, we will mobilize a million new leaders to drive positive change in the workplace and the world.

  2. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic
    but I had to tell someone!
