Towards A Model Of Social Innovation : Cross-border Learning Processes

The aim of this paper is to reveal how the collaboration processes mobilise resources among countries with different logics of welfare, yet address similar problems of ageing society, in a caring, learning and political perspective. The study draws on social science theories and the analysis is based on qualitative empirical data from an interdisciplinary field. The main conclusion is that a multi-dimensional understanding of dementia care by shared knowledge of different welfare logics adds value to experiences of crossborder learning. A social innovation model is presented
