From Ideas to Action was a Partnership Building Activity (PBA) focused on Social Innovation, designed to bring together experienced professionals and organisations committed to developing innovative responses to social challenges at local, national and European levels. The project took place in Luso, Portugal, from 9 to 13 March, and provided collaborative space for participants working in social innovation across different sectors, including education, non-formal learning, youth-related work, community development, social entrepreneurship and related social fields. The core purpose of this PBA was to move beyond inspiration and exchange, and actively support participants in transforming ideas into concrete, structured and fundable project concepts. Through facilitated processes, peer learning and hands-on working sessions, participants explored how social innovation can be designed, strengthened and scaled through European cooperation.
