ChairESS Hauts-de-France launches its digital and educational resources platform.

This space offers you:

  • A look at the current challenges of the social and solidarity economy;
  • A contribution to the collective construction of a digital identity of the SSE. It is part of a political reflection on SSE training.
  • A tool at the service of the training of actors of the social and solidarity economy (employees or volunteers), actors of the public sector (elected officials, agents of the services of the State or local authorities) as well as students and teachers;
  • A project designed collectively within SIILAB, a territorial innovation laboratory. It participates in the transformation of public action in the Hauts-de-France region.

First module: the evaluation of social utility and impact. The social and solidarity economy is a mode of entrepreneurship that puts social utility at the heart of its action. Therefore, the measurement of social utility is an issue: our speakers provide food for thought on this essential subject for the actors of the social and solidarity economy.

🚀 The launch of the digital platform is a first step: it will very soon be enriched with contributions around the currents of thought, actors and policies of the SSE in the Hauts-de-France region, as well as a pedagogical module on the Socio-Economic Models of the SSE. Thank you to our solidarity partners, CLISS XXI and the Parasites Collective for their support!

The ChairESS Hauts-de-France encourages and promotes work, practices, research and training related to the social and solidarity economy. Rooted in a long history of teaching and research, since its creation in 2014, it gathers researchers, public and private actors, around the same conviction: pooling and cooperation are essential elements to produce knowledge and sustainably transform society and territories.
