The 13th Ripess Europe General Assembly 2024 was held on 13-15 of June in Geneva, Switzerland. This year the topics revolved 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 was also a festive time since our hosting member APRES-GE is celebrating its 20 years of Solidarity Economy activism and networking, thus we actively participated in our members’ celebration moments.
