“…The social entrepreneur's background, his/her personal history and direct experience of disability create feelings of empathy that are closely connected to specific context that he/she has experienced. Moreover, family involvement is recognized as a key element for the success of disability inclusion programs (Vasiljevi c-Prodanovi c et al, 2021), therefore a cooperative attitude with families emerges as an essential driver of SI in disability NPOs, since it allows a better understanding of users' needs. Cooperative attitude emerges from this study as an important driver of innovation more than other individual ones identified by previous studies in for-profit organizations, because cooperation among participants is a fundamental element of NPOs functioning.…”

In addition, it highlights the role of stakeholder networks in enhancing the social innovation process and the characteristics of stakeholders and networks driving and supporting social innovation.Design/methodology/approachFollowing a qualitative methodology, research was conducted through a case study survey with interviews to 13 nonprofit organizations of social farming for people with disability located in the northeast of Italy.FindingsInsights gained from the interviews revealed that individual, organizational and contextual factors drive social innovation in disability nonprofits. In addition, networks play a key role in enhancing the three drivers of social innovation through the social innovation journey, from opportunity recognition to implementation of the innovation, to its consolidation phases. Characteristics of the networks and the stakeholders involved are also outlined.Practical implicationsPractical implications for social entrepreneurs include the need to establish cross-sectoral partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including private companies.Social implicationsImplications for policy makers stress the need for ongoing support for nonprofit disability organizations. Social implications are not limited to the inclusion of socially weaker groups; rather, the entire community benefits from the social innovation process.Originality/valueSocial farming represents a valuable solution to meet the needs of disadvantaged people. While much research has investigated the topic of social innovation in social entrepreneurship, only a few studies have addressed social innovation in the context of disability nonprofits involved in social farming.

“…This study supposes that families' resources to participate in their children's education vary. There may also be some differences in the perceptions of parental involvement between parents and educators; namely, parents see their rate of involvement as higher than educators see it as being (Vasiljevi c-Prodanovi c et al, 2021). However, there also exist some hindrances to parent-educator cooperation, which are affected by different interpersonal, structural and organisational factors (Hornby & Lafaele, 2011;Murphy et al, 2021;Vuorinen, 2020).…”

“…However, a study by Murphy et al (2021) showed that many parents expressed the need for better communication with educators and more information about their children's development and learning. Moreover, Vasiljević‐Prodanović et al (2021) found differences in information sharing depending on a child's development; for example, teachers may perceive their cooperation with parents as better, if a child is typically developed.…”

The goal of this research was to explore the perceptions of cooperation between preschool institutions and parents within Early Childhood Environmental Education activities, primarily within the dimension of including parents in preschool activities. In the theoretical framework of the study, we discuss the major aspects of cooperation between families and preschool institutions and the significance of learning about the environment for the cooperation process. Many authors agree that cooperation between families and preschool institutions comprises the following dimensions: information sharing between preschool teachers and parents, including parents in preschool activities, parents’ involvement in supporting the child’s development at home, and parents’ participation in preschool institutions executive bodies. In this paper, we focus on the dimension of including parents in preschool activities through Early Childhood Environmental Education. The results show that the majority of questionnaire items exposed statistically significant differences between the perception of parents and the perception of preschool teachers when it comes to including parents in Early Childhood Environmental Education activities. We consider that a series of planned actions is necessary for including as many parents as possible in the Early Childhood Environmental Education activities. One of the main reasons for such an initiative is the veracity of such activities and the possibility for children to create and develop their creative abilities through research.
