Redefined relationship between public and privet sector; technical correction, renewal
of already existing policy instrument, legal framework (es. Marche region’s process of

Plan and the Strategy for Development of Social Services mentioned the strategic goal
of promoting and supporting the SE to promote a socio-economic development and
social inclusion of disadvantaged groups)
-
Defined model solutions, changed educational programmes targeted at SE(e.g. in
Poland changes were made to the syllabus of the postgraduate course in Social
Economics offered by the Malopolska shool of public administration from the
experience of the Andalusian School of social economy)

Improved and increased organizational commitment for the qualification of social
enterprises on local development policies;
-
Increased inter-institutional and cross-department dialogue (marche regione);
PASE RESULTS / 3
COLLECTIVE LEVEL POLICY LEARNING
The project started to generate a broader awareness among other
external actors:
-New trends and new agenda proposed by local politicians and public
authorities or other stakeholders organizations on SE concerning;
-cross-sectorial policy involvement, shared planning strategies;
- open public debate on social economy, engaging all the institutional
level;
-cooperation in the area of SE between regional and local authorities
The European added value
- Pase Project inclusion into the RegioStars Awards 2013 selection
(Inclusive Growth: social innovation, creative response to societal
challenges)
- Interreg IV Good Practice Fair (Krakow, Nov.2011) within the
workshop: “Boosting entrepreneurship to boost employment” aimed
at presenting good practices promoting entrepreneurship,
especially in disadvantaged areas.
- Forum on the Single Market Act (Brussels, Nov 2010). PASE
project contributed at the discussion on the Single Market Act,
(public procurement and delivery in public services)

The PASE project’s contribution to Interreg IVC
capitalization exercise
-The PASE project has positively and effectively contributed to develop a
new integrated approach and impact on entrepreneurship policy and
practice.
-The PASE findings were validated by:
The Social Europe Guide vol. 4 on Social economy and Social
entrepreneurship and they contributed to the Flagship initiatives
“Agenda for new skills and jobs”
The “European Platform against poverty and social exclusion”
that places specific emphasis on social policy innovations.
11
Some specific Lessons learned
Policy recommendations and guide lines for a well-designed
social policy consider 4 different area of intervention:
1. prove appropriate legal and financial frameworks for the
cooperation and involvement of SE and NGO with public
authorities (improve PP system and combine PP policies and
SE policies);
2.raise the awareness and the capacity of public
administration (social clauses; no only best price offered,
contracts, ;
3. build the capacity of social enterprises (business skills,
from social service to social enterprise mindset);
4.improve public attitudes towards social economy (to over
came lack of trust)
12
General Lessons learned
.The interregional cooperation has brought to a Mutual
learning process, a Win-to-win process;
.Successfull policy improvements and impacts are given
by strong mainstreaming activities and stakeholders’
involvment;
. Exchange of BPs it is not just a question of wishing to
“transfer” or adapt a good practice,
but
of a practice “transferring approach” :
(goals, targets; means; vectors; stakeholders; monitoring
and evaluation)
