– Strategic orientation document 2016-2018: this document was prepared by the working group strategy RIPESS had discussed and revised at the General Assembly in Berlin, September 2015. RIPESS Europe would like to strengthen the political message that it wishes to embody and share, through two main objectives:
(1) embody a movement of transformation: a commitment to systemic change of the current socio-economic models towards more democracy and solidarity;
(2) promote a movement of convergence: a desire to gather the forces of change brought by many movements which constitute a fragmented landscape, therefore with a dispersal of these forces otherwise very active at the local level.
– Forum for the preparation of the General Assembly: to help build the GA together, we have opened a specific forum at this address. You must be registered to the Members’ group in order to participate (you can ask info@ripess.eu).
