NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
GSEF2016's call for proposals is still open: act soon!

The Global Social Economy Forum (GSEF) to be held in September 2016 in Montreal will give visibility to international initiatives representing the best practices of collaboration between public authorities and social economy organizations for the development of cities.

Have you developed an innovative SSE project for the development of your city in collaboration with public agencies? If so, present it at GSEF2016 and share your experience with the over 2000 participants expected to attend. Detail

Call for Proposals closing date: January 3, 2016
RIPESS includes in its action plan a work axis on Women and the SSE

A new intercontinental working group will promote exchange and collaboration on a gender perspective and a feminist approach to the SSE. The group's creation is a step further after the International Meeting of RIPESS in Manila in 2013, where a group of women presented a Declaration for a Gender Perspective in the Social Solidarity Economy, underlining the importance for the SSE movement to integrate a gender perspective.

RIPESS joins the Global Platform for the Right to the City

In September 2015, RIPESS joined the Global Platform for the Right to the City, a coalition that is part of an important social movement that has been built since the end of the 90's to contribute to the recognition of the Right to the City as a human right and to reaffirm the key role of local communities and civil society in the decision-making processes concerning urban policies. The Global Platform is currently actively engaged in Habitat III advocacy work.
