European Workshop and Deep Dives

Do Impact Digital and Data-Driven Programme

As part of the DO Impact programme, one in-person workshop will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on 25 November 2025, as well as 8 online sessions, organised by the DIESIS Network.

These sessions are tailored to Social Economy SMEs interested in enhancing their digital and data-driven capacities through practical learning and peer exchange with a European focus. They will be held primarily in English.

The workshop and each deep dive will address a specific topic relevant to the digital transition of the Social Economy ecosystem, combining theoretical insights with interactive and experience-sharing sessions. The aim is to support European social enterprises in unlocking the potential of data and technology for social impact, policy influence, and inclusive innovation, as well as offering a platform for networking.

These sessions form part of the broader DO Impact Strategy, which equips SMEs with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to succeed in today’s evolving market. The Deep Dives build on topics from the DO Impact Learning Journey, introduce relevant digital tools, and spark exchange among participants.

Participation is open to Small and Medium Enterprises and Organisations in the Proximity and Social Economy (PSE) sector eager to strengthen their skills and capabilities. Our Digital and Data-driven Programmes are tailored to support the twin transition toward digitalisation and sustainable growth. Social Economy Enabling Organisations are also welcome.
