SOCIAL INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY AT BRONX IN BOLBRO, a case

Bronx defines itself as a community shop based on the desire for recycling and sustainability, designed for continuous and collaborative innovation in terms of both activities and content.

It must never become static, but should always be characterized by creativity, sustainability, comfort, and community.

Bronx is a place where anyone who wishes can enter. Perhaps just to have a cup of coffee and chat with friends or others. Perhaps to utilize the many facilities provided for Bronx members - including workshops, swap stations, and a lending library for items that can be borrowed for shorter periods.

Bronx is centrally located in Bolbro (a district in Odense in Denmark, sometimes compared to Bronx), and Bronx should be understood as a place that is in constant development - "Bronx is created by those who come to Bronx," as they express it. Thus, it is not a fixed place, but a place of development, where participants evolve while also contributing to its evolution.

Bronx has only one person on the payroll but has many volunteers, hosts, interns, etc., who can introduce the concept and assist with various activities that members would like to engage in and improve their skills in.

Therefore, Bronx is an excellent example of sustainable social innovation and will be used as an example (a case study) in connection with the project "Innovative Entrepreneurs."
