BUILDING RESILIENT COASTAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE (WP7)

FOCI’s Work Package on ‘Building Resilient Coastal Communities through Social and Community Enterprise’ examines challenges and opportunities of regenerating and enhancing the resilience of remote and rural coastal communities in the face of climate, ocean and social-ecological change through social enterprises. Social enterprises are organizational infrastructures that draw on commercial activities to address social and environmental goals. This Work Package draws on a new heuristic model, called PLACE, for designing organizational infrastructures of resilience and renewal through social enterprise. Building on a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant that examined the Shorefast Foundation, a charitable organization that operates and supports social businesses on Fogo Island, the PLACE Model emphasizes the power of place-based social enterprises for contributing to more inclusive, economically diverse and culturally resilient coastal communities and infrastructure.
