Summary:

"This insightful Handbook provides expert guidance on fostering social innovation through education, including perspectives from teaching, learning, training, and policy. It examines both how to teach social innovation and the innovations being implemented in education to drive social transformation. The Handbook explores how educational institutions, communities, and governments partner with problem-based, place-based, and project-based learning. A diverse array of authors analyse methods to promote social change and tackle social challenges in education. They explore pedagogical innovations and transformative teaching strategies aimed at making a difference. In addition, the Handbook offers cases that demonstrate social innovation across various levels of education with techniques such as experiential learning, community-based learning, action research, and case method learning, which enable students to tackle global challenges. Ultimately, the Handbook highlights the successful efforts and persisting complexities faced by social innovation in the field of education and looks to the broader implications for achieving long-term societal benefits. The Handbook of Teaching and Learning in Social Innovation is a vital resource for lecturers and teachers, scholars of social sciences, social entrepreneurs, university managers, entrepreneurship centers, and students. Its practical insights also make this prime reading for policymakers and leaders across education, entrepreneurship, and management teams in companies and social innovation centres"-- Provided by publisher.
