The Social Economy Canvas is a visual sense making framework inspired by design and by complex-adaptive systems theory developed by the European Commission. It intends to provide policymakers with an ongoing, bottom-up, macro-assessment of social economy in Europe while supporting practitioners’ development of new ideas for a regenerative economy at micro-level.

We tested the prototype of the Canvas for the European Commission with over 70 organizations from all over Germany and Austria. To do so, we conducted a series of interactive hybrid workshops to guide participants through the tool. We collected their feedback in pre- and post-surveys and through qualitative feedback. Our final report and recommendations helped the European Commission to optimize this Canvas for practical use.
