Social innovation in service delivery to youth in remote and rural areas

Andra Aldea-Partanen · 2011 · International Journal of Innovation and Regional Development

Summary. This paper examines a social innovation program in Finland's Kainuu region that uses art and technology to reintegrate marginalized youth in remote areas facing population decline. Rather than pursuing purely economic goals, the program focuses on helping young people reconnect with their identities and rebuild self-worth. The analysis applies quadruple helix and social living labs frameworks to understand how regional governance institutions support youth art training.
