Blue Social Growth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The objective of \u2018Blue Social Growth\u2019 is to develop, organize and evaluate an experimental pedagogical plan for the training of the populations living in small islands to address their pressing issues- like the recent immigration and refugees crisis- through developing blue growth economy social enterprises. It will predominantly target the most needed populations like migrants and refugees, by supporting them to establish collaborative social enterprises. Using action learning and e-learning methodologies on co-creation and entrepreneurship skills it aims to stimulate the needed 21st century skills for the development of socially innovative and impactful, collaborative social enterprise ventures that result from the interaction among the sea and the earth.<\/p>\n

In 2016 148,355 migrants and refugees entered Europe (9\/3\/16) the cumulative arrivals to Greece stands at 144,899. In 2015 1,046,599 migrants arrived to Europe; Greece received 858,608 of them (Mediterranean Update, IOM, 01\/16). These populations enter in Europe though the sea and their first point of contact are small islands and coastal regions that are often among the weakest regions in Europe facing already isolation and risk of being deserted. \u201cCoastal areas often face high unemployment… it is our responsibility to help this sector develop and prosper\u201d (EC Strategy Press release, Commissioner Damanaki, 20\/02\/10). \u201cIslands face considerable challenges\u2026They may lack human capital and possess limited public resources in health, education, research and innovation\u2026 EU’s southern islands have seen a large influx of migrants, whilst lacking the resources needed for their accommodation or integration\u2026various studies suggest that islands can become ‘lands of opportunities’ by investing in their relative strengths\u201d (European Parliament Think Tank, Jan 2016). Article174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union- TFEU recognises the special nature of island territories\u2026 Several insular regions and municipalities call for the development of an ‘insular dimension’ in EU policies. \u201cThe Union shall aim at reducing disparities between the levels of development of the various regions and the backwardness of the least favored regions. Among the regions concerned\u2026attention shall be paid to\u2026islands\u201d ( EUR LEx, 2016).
\n\u201cIt is the maritime contribution to achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.\u2026The ‘blue’ economy represents roughly 5.4 million jobs\u201d (EC, Maritime Affairs, Blue Growth, 2016). \u201cThere is a need of offshore activities supporting Blue Growth and employment\u2026 aim at boosting economic development, environmental services and entrepreneurial innovations \u2013 in particular in SMEs in rural and coastal areas.\u2026aquaculture development aims at supporting and facilitating a sustainable economy\u2026support aquaculture productions and communities with innovative solutions and technologies to ensure a sustainable offshore, coastal and inland development and growth\u201d(Horizon 2020 WP Marine & Maritime, 2016-2017. \u201cCoastal areas are important for growth and jobs, in particular for young people\u201d (EC COM 2014, 86 Final). \u201cEuropean Commission recognises the potentials for development of the Coastal areas through both the Strategy for Blue Growth and the initiative for Maritime tourism\u2026 A powerful and intelligent maritime tourism will act as a catalyst for the economic recovery in Greece and throughout the European continent.\u201d (EC Press Release, Damanaki Commissioner, 10\/03\/14).<\/p>\n

\u2018Blue SoG\u2019 focuses on two distinctive but interrelated issues:<\/p>\n

a) The co-sharing and co-creation engaging marginalized \u2013 bottom of the pyramid- populations as value creation for survival and growth;<\/p>\n

b) Learning; new approaches of action and e-learning should be developed, piloted and validated that will provide the skills needed for social innovation and social collaborative entrepreneurship in the Blue Growth Economy. Small islands due to geographic and transportation constraints need specific approaches to education and to establishing co-creation which has to be e-based.<\/p>\n

The above actions will be achieved through:<\/p>\n

1)A structured research identifying issues and needs of the target group as well as best cases examples of second generation migrants<\/p>\n

2)Self-instruction, illustrated handbooks and textbooks on how \u2018bottom of the pyramid\u2019 populations can acquire these skills<\/p>\n

3) An e-learning training platform with digital channels<\/p>\n

4) Action learning training approach with workshops, pitching events and pairing among second generation migrants and refugees, peer-to-peer e-based mentoring and per-venture community engagement coaching through web technologies<\/p>\n

5) A validation process of the consultation process and the end results.<\/p>\n
