The Social Change Institute (SCI) is a new initiative aimed at building the capacity of the community and social change sector. The Institute is a project of the Hollyhock Leadership Institute (HLI), which provides training and strategic assistance to the social change sector. SCI’s inaugural event was a four-day retreat to held in May 2006.
As part of its work on SCI, HLI has undertaken a pilot e-learning project that aims at supporting the SCI community while also exploring the potential opportunity for extending HLI’s reach through online community tools. HLI retained Social Signal to advise on its e-learning strategy, and to set up a conference blog as part of its e-learning pilot.
