The EU's Renewed Social Agenda, a comprehensive program began in 2008 to improve Europe's economy, fight climate crisis, and generally provide greater overall quality of life for all Europeans, was a landmark initiative. At its core lies the idea of "social innovation," a modality involving the creation of new social services and models that are applicable in a multinational paradigm. Examples of "social innovation" include public libraries, open universities, and worker's rights movements. But there's more to it than just bringing people together to solve problems or attempting to create an atmosphere of equality. A social service that's successful in affluent urban areas could be completely useless in a rural setting, and vice versa. Taking into account the human factor, how climate crisis and other environmental factors affect different communities, and the difficulties faced by minorities and refugees, the challenge of serving the EU's agenda across national lines becomes exponentially more difficult.
