Social Innovation: Cruïlla Festival’s NGO Stands
Cruïlla is the Catalan word for “crossroads”. A word that perfectly represents the core philosophy of Spanish Festival Cruïlla, an event where different musical worlds and social/cultural NGOs collide and meet in the middle.

This story is part of the EU-funded project FUSION – Festivals as Social Innovation Incubators. In FUSION, experts on festivals and youth work have joined forces to create a tailored suite of resources, so that festivals can realize their potential as platforms for social innovation. These include a good-practice guide with social innovation projects at European festivals, a how-to toolbox for developing projects specifically for festivals, and alliances between festivals and social innovation organizations. FUSION will enable young people/organizations to use festivals as a steppingstone to implement their own ideas, products and technologies for the benefit of society.
