Alliance for Inclusive Investment

Welcome to the MOOC of the a4i project on Inclusive Investment in Social Care and Support. This course aims to achieve common knowledge and tools to understand each other, communicate and collaborate more easily among Social Services Providers and Private Investors.


Description

The aim of a4i is to develop a neutral platform to improve the relevance of teaching content in the professional development of decision makers. The project partners created a new cross-sectoral teaching concept, based on integrated academic and adult training learning methods together with models and case examples of good practices. Therefore, thanks to this project, Social Services Providers and Private Investors can use common knowledge and tools to understand each other, communicate and collaborate more easily. 

This MOOC has been built under the Alliance for Inclusive Investment in Social Care, a transnational partnership among four Higher Education Institutions and universities, three financial institutions and four service providers from Belgium, Czech Republic, England and Spain.
