Social City Vienna is a platform for societal and social innovation. Projects and initiatives are launched and supported in five action areas: matching, community, education, sustainability and communication. The work of Social City Vienna is aimed at launching new projects, improving the networking of existing projects and initiatives and publicising Vienna’s social scene. One of its major objectives is to bring together the city’s stakeholders. In the very first advisory board meeting, the advisory board members addressed the issue of social inclusion, together with Social City Vienna. The focus is on transferring knowledge and experience between the advisory board members operating within Social City Vienna. Together, they should actively share ideas about relevant socio-political and social issues – because social innovation is not created for but primarily by a city’s stakeholders. Together, they should break down structures, facilitate innovation and develop specific solutions.
