Fundación ONCE, Laboral Kutxa, the Business Faculty of Mondragon Unibertsitatea and the Carlos III University of Madrid have launched a course on social investment, the objective of which is to train in investment with social impact and explain to entrepreneurs, investors and other agents what it consists of and what tools exist to develop it.

Promoting Quality Social Investment in Spain (PISCE) is the name of this pilot course, which aims to train in investment with social impact and the exchange of experiences between different public and private actors and social entities.

The course is part of the European Erasmus + project of the European Commission 'Alliance for Inclusive Investment for social care and support' and is promoted by Laboral Kutxa, the Business Faculty at Mondragon Unibertsitatea, the Carlos III University of Madrid through the Gregorio Peces Barba Human Rights Institute and ONCE Foundation.

The program will be developed in an online format, and will combine e-learning with virtual spaces for collaboration and reflection, aimed at professionals from the three sectors mentioned above. Thematic modules, practical training with real cases explained by professionals in the sector and sessions to work on real challenges will alternate.

During the more than two months that the training will last, (the course will end on March 30), students will be able to know the conceptual bases, experiences of investors, entities and social entrepreneurs, in addition to sharing spaces for individual and group reflection.

According to the European Union, Europe will have an investment 'gap' in social infrastructure of approximately 150,000 million euros a year over the next decade, which will focus on health, social assistance and support, education and affordable housing.

There is a crucial need for complementary resources and for a new generation of actors who have the skills and confidence to ensure collaboration between them. In this way, financing with social impact through public and private sources will allow addressing the needs faced by the Social Sector and as marked by the 2030 Agenda, without leaving anyone behind.
