SOLIDARIUS ITALIA, CRIES and UFISC, in collaboration with RIPESS EUROPE are inviting you to participate to the “LOOKING UP TUESDAYS”, 9 online webinars from November 2024 to March 2025!

Erasmus+ project “LOOKING UP – A training path from experiences of local development towards European Social Solidarity Economy strategies!” is closely studying participatory local development from the perspective of social solidarity economy and within the framework of national and European policies supporting it.

From the perspectives of Italy, Romania and France and more broadly, three main topics will be discussed with theoretical approaches as well as case studies. A rich programme that will deal with different topics at the European level:

  • How to build community? How to build local and economic development from the community?
  • How artistic & cultural alternative places and ecological transition in urban contexts takes part in local democracy?
