The REJIES Network, of Young Researchers in Social Economy of CIRIEC-Spain, in collaboration with the International University of Valencia (VIU) and the EMES Network organizes a workshop on experiences of social enterprises in the field of culture, migration and equality and gender. This workshop will take place on January 29th between 12 and 14 hours through the virtual campus of the VIU.

The workshop is organized within the framework of the upcoming 8th EMES International Congress on Social Enterprise Research, to be held next October in Zaragoza, a meeting place for the international academic community involved in research on social enterprises, social and solidarity economy (SSE), social entrepreneurship and social innovation.

On the way to the meeting in Zaragoza, from REJIES it has been considered relevant to anticipate some debates, which will serve as a guide in its preparation, and for that purpose they propose this virtual meeting with Social Enterprises that develop their activity in three innovative areas (culture, gender equality and migration).

The three proposed areas invite to generate lines of work around the important economic and social challenges existing in each one of them, which help to understand the way in which Social Enterprises are responding in an innovative way to face them.

The activity is free, but it is necessary to register at the following link
