Abstract
The following essays contain some reflections on my involvement with the EQUAL initiative1, funded through the European Social Fund, which aimed to foster social innovation. As a way to support the spread of social innovation across projects, EQUAL started a number of communities of practice and organised events for participants to learn together. This capability to organise learning across a complex social system is itself an important achievement. It is less visible than the 188 projects and 320 codified solutions that were heralded as the outcomes of the initiative.
