Approches Coopératives was present throughout the event, and the result of this work is now available: Issue No. 28 of our quarterly review, produced in partnership with the GSEF leadership, devotes its 140 pages to this historic gathering.
At the heart of this issue : voices from the field
The core of this edition is a collection of 18 interviews with organisations from the social and solidarity economy that came from around the world to share their experiences in Bordeaux. Through their testimonies, readers discover the diversity of initiatives that make up this movement: cooperatives, mutual societies, associations, and social enterprises that, across all continents, are shaping an alternative economic model based on cooperation rather than competition alone
These accounts, complemented by a series of articles exploring the forum’s key issues and highlights, offer a vivid and concrete panorama of what the SSE represents today: no longer a marginal sector, but a genuine driver of economic and social transformation, recognised and supported by public authorities, local governments, and international institutions.
What you’ll find in this issue?
For anyone interested in alternative economic models, international cooperation, or social innovation, this edition is a rich source of insight and inspiration. It helps readers understand how, from one continent to another, very different organisations share common values and work together to address major contemporary challenges: employment, inclusion, ecological transition, and economic democracy.
It is also an opportunity to appreciate the progress made by the SSE since its beginnings, and the global momentum it now embodies, carried by a network (the GSEF) active across all five continents.
