Abstract

This article explores, what is the role played by social innovation and social learning related to rural development policy and local development efforts; what content, conditions, and results may be important. Through two case studies we investigate, how local values and traditions may be dressed in today's robe in an innovative manner, utilized as a resource in development, and what is the role of "lonely heroes" as reflexive agents in the process.
