The 13th Ripess Europe General Assembly 2024 will be held on 13-15 of June in Geneva, Switzerland. This is the most important yearly meeting for the Solidarity Economy Europe Network since it is a unique opportunity to meet and inspire each other through structured and more convivial moments. This year the topics will revolve around a new shared-governance proposal scheme, uptakes on decided priorities and projects, ways to strengthen our contribution to the communities and societies, advocacy procedures and policies with citizens’ decisive participation.

This year is also a festive time since our hosting member APRES-GE is celebrating its 20 years of Solidarity Economy activism and networking, thus we will actively participate in our members’ celebration moments.

Venue
L’ESPACE, Chem. du 23-Août 1, 1205 Genève, Switzerland
