On 3rd May RedPES and RIPESS EU, with the support of APDES, promoted the fourth RedPES/RIPESS EU webinar aimed to share good practices on different fields from the perspective of the Social Solidarity Economy. The webinar was devoted to the topic: (Non-Formal) Education: A first step towards social and economic transformation, with Josette Combes from Mouvement Pour l’Economie Solidaire (France) and Marta Marques from Escola Técnica Profissional da Moita (an IVET school from Portugal).
The speakers presented previous experiences on training, inclusion of multiple stakeholders in the learning community and inclusive education. After, a debate was boosted, in order to better understand the French and Portuguese experiences regarding the articulation between IVET and Universities and between the social labor market and the IVET options and available internships.
