I am a Historian with a master in Management and Controllership by the Federal University of Ceará. My masters' dissertation was about the challenges social enterprises face to be effective in fulfilling social demands in the Brazilian semiarid. For my doctorate studies, I have shifted to study Education for Sustainability, but following a more sociological approach by employing part of Pierre Bourdieu's conceptual apparatuses, but not only, I have also taken advantage of some of Bernard Lahire's concepts to solve some theoretical and methodological issues I have encountered thus far.

opportunities and social work. Moreover, results demonstrated that managerial perception of problems emerged through different strategies, motivated by distinct reasons and systematized so that replication became easier. Social entrepreneurial teams have also fostered intersectoral networks with the sections of the government and partners from private companies to improve their efforts.
Design/methodology/approach – It offers a detailed analysis of the activities performed by ADEL (Agência de Desenvolvimento Econômico Local) – a regional non-governmental organization located in one of
the poorest regions of Brazil – which is succeeding in engaging young people in the promotion of local development. The case was analysed drawing on the dimensions structured by researchers of one of the main
centres of social innovation in the world, the Centre de Recherche sur Les Innovations Sociales (CRISES) based in Canada.
Findings – The results found characterize ADEL as a social innovation based on the dimensions of social innovation described in the CRISES’ conceptual encyclopaedia (Tardif and Harrison, 2005). The results highlight the singularities of the case studied, which allowed the elaboration of a revisited table of dimensions proposed by the CRISES’ researchers.
Research limitations/implications – For future studies, using the CRISES’ table as reference of analysis for other social innovations, the possibility suggested is the quantitative exploration of these dimensions.
Originality/value – The originality of this article lies in the fact that it presents a representative social innovation for the Brazilian semiarid
