Carte CommUnity

🔴 BELGIQUE

1. Centres de santé et sociaux intégrés (Bruxelles)

Cette initiative s’inscrit pleinement dans la mission de CommUnity, qui vise à réduire les inégalités sociales et économiques et à améliorer le bien-être des communautés. L’approche intégrée et communautaire des centres reflète l’importance accordée par le projet aux services sociaux de proximité, à l’accessibilité et au soutien des adultes vulnérables, notamment ceux confrontés à des obstacles complexes. L’utilisation du Medibus fait écho à l’objectif de CommUnity de promouvoir des modèles de proximité flexibles et inclusifs, susceptibles d’inspirer des entrepreneurs grâce à la carte numérique et aux modules de formation du projet.

2. Programme fédéral des agents de santé communautaires (ASC)

Le modèle des ASC illustre l’engagement de CommUnity en faveur de l’autonomisation, des réseaux de soutien communautaires et de la lutte contre les inégalités. Les ASC aident les adultes vulnérables à s’orienter parmi les services – une pratique sociale que CommUnity souhaite précisément mettre en avant sur sa carte interactive. Leur rôle de construction de la confiance s’inscrit également dans l’approche de CommUnity en matière d’entrepreneuriat communautaire, où les connaissances locales, l’inclusion et les compétences relationnelles sont essentielles. Ce modèle constitue une référence utile pour former les entrepreneurs adultes à intégrer la responsabilité sociale à leurs entreprises.

3. IDESS – Initiative de développement de l’emploi dans les services de soins informels

IDESS est particulièrement pertinent car il associe le soutien social à la création d’emplois locaux, ce qui correspond directement à l’objectif de CommUnity : permettre aux adultes de créer des entreprises résilientes et socialement responsables. Ces services à petite échelle illustrent comment la micro-entreprise peut répondre aux besoins des communautés que les entreprises privées négligent – ​​un cas idéal pour les ateliers et les sessions d’idéation prévus en Belgique, en Italie et en Norvège.

4. Système de bons de service

Il s’agit d’un exemple de mécanisme politique soutenant les travailleurs vulnérables, notamment les adultes peu qualifiés – l’un des principaux groupes cibles de CommUnity. Ce système démontre comment l’autonomisation économique, l’accès à l’emploi et les écosystèmes de services locaux peuvent être renforcés. C’est précisément le type de bonnes pratiques que le projet entend intégrer à sa cartographie numérique et dont il entend s’inspirer pour l’élaboration de plans de soutien aux entreprises dans chaque pays partenaire. 

5. Programmes d’Enabel sur les inégalités sociales et économiques

L’approche multidimensionnelle d’Enabel (compétences, entrepreneuriat, inclusion numérique, égalité des genres) reflète le modèle holistique promu par CommUnity. Son orientation vers des marchés inclusifs soutient l’objectif du projet : former des adultes à la création de modèles d’entreprises socialement responsables et durables. Ceci est directement pertinent pour la plateforme en ligne, où les pratiques d’Enabel peuvent enrichir la base de connaissances sur les entreprises durables et le bien-être communautaire.

6. Centre public d’action sociale (CPAS/OCMW)

La structure du CPAS incarne la gouvernance locale du bien-être social, en accord avec l’engagement du projet en faveur de solutions décentralisées et pilotées par la communauté. Son accent mis sur l’aide sociale, l’intégration des revenus et l’accompagnement personnalisé peut servir de référence aux entrepreneurs de CommUnity qui conçoivent des stratégies commerciales axées sur le bien-être social. Il renforce également l’importance des écosystèmes de bien-être locaux, un élément clé de la carte interactive du projet. 

7. Stratégie Go4Brussels 2030

Cette stratégie régionale aborde les inégalités sociales, l'accès aux soins et la réforme du système, ce qui correspond directement à la priorité de CommUnity : l'inclusion sociale et le bien-être communautaire. Pour les entrepreneurs participant au projet, l'approche Go4Brussels offre des perspectives sur les transformations systémiques et sur la manière dont les petites entreprises peuvent contribuer aux objectifs de protection sociale. Elle s'intègre également parfaitement à la cartographie des réformes sociales régionales réalisée par la plateforme.

8. Initiatives d'intégration sociale du PPS (Logement d'abord, MIRIAM, FEAD)

Ces initiatives incarnent des réponses sociales intégrées – logement, santé, emploi – qui font écho à la vision multidimensionnelle du projet. Leur attention portée aux adultes vulnérables et aux mères célibataires correspond aux groupes cibles de CommUnity, et leurs modèles réussis fournissent des études de cas de grande qualité pour la cartographie numérique. Le programme Logement d'abord est également pertinent pour les ateliers d'idéation, car il représente un exemple éloquent d'innovation participative. 9. Agence de l'enfance et de la famille (Kind en Gezin – Flandre) 

9. Bien que centrée sur les enfants et les familles, cette initiative met en lumière la protection sociale préventive, l'intervention précoce et les services intégrés, conformément à la priorité de CommUnity qui vise à réduire les inégalités sociales et à renforcer le bien-être communautaire. Pour les entrepreneurs et les acteurs communautaires, elle démontre comment des écosystèmes de protection sociale coordonnés peuvent favoriser l'équité sociale, alimentant ainsi les plans de soutien aux entreprises du projet.

10. Fedasil – Agence fédérale pour l'accueil des demandeurs d'asile

L'accompagnement global des demandeurs d'asile par Fedasil rejoint l'accent mis par CommUnity sur les services inclusifs, les populations vulnérables et la cohésion sociale. De nombreux aspirants entrepreneurs participant au projet (notamment en Norvège et en Belgique) sont issus de l'immigration, faisant du modèle Fedasil un exemple de la manière dont des systèmes de soutien holistiques peuvent faciliter intégration. Elle contribue également à la section de la carte numérique consacrée aux infrastructures sociales liées aux migrations.

The model shows how targeted funding can activate community welfare by enabling new micro-enterprises in local economies.

2. TecnoNIDI – Technological Start-up Support

TecnoNIDI fits perfectly within CommUnity’s ambition to promote innovation-driven, community-oriented entrepreneurship. By supporting tech and green start-ups, it aligns with the project’s interest in sustainable growth, digital transitions, and economic resilience. It provides a relevant case study for the digital map, especially for training adults who want to integrate sustainability, green technologies, or ICT solutions into their business ideas during the ideathons.

3. Cooperativa di Comunità di Biccari

The Biccari community cooperative is a textbook example of community welfare through local entrepreneurship, mirroring CommUnity’s mission to build resilient local economies through bottom-up participation.

It is highly useful for the project’s workshops, showing how small communities can turn social needs into business opportunities.

It is a strong example for workshops about socially responsible business models and for ideathons focusing on sustainability and heritage-based entrepreneurship.

6. Puglia ti vorrei – Youth Engagement Strategy

Although youth-focused, this initiative embodies the participatory, bottom-up methodology that is central to CommUnity’s approach to community welfare. It illustrates how public consultations can shape inclusive policies—useful for training adult entrepreneurs to engage with their own communities and understand local needs. It also reinforces the role of co-creation, which is a core element of both the workshops and the ideathons.

7. Youth for the Social Programme (Giovani per il Sociale)

This national programme shows how social innovation and community-oriented projects can empower young people in disadvantaged regions, including Puglia. For CommUnity, it provides examples of how third-sector organisations support social inclusion and economic participation—key themes for adult entrepreneurs who will develop Business Welfare Plans. It reinforces the idea that entrepreneurship can be a tool for welfare, not just profit.

8. Resto al Sud

Resto al Sud is directly aligned with CommUnity’s commitment to stimulating entrepreneurship among adults with fewer opportunities.
