GSEF, global forum for the SSE

From October 29 to 31, 2025, the 7th World Forum on the Social and Solidarity Economy was held for the first time in France, in Bordeaux. Approches Coopératives participated, and this issue, produced in partnership with the GSEF (Group for Social and Solidarity Economy), reports on the event through a series of articles and 18 interviews.
The GSEF brought together more than 10,000 people in Bordeaux, including 3,000 young people from 101 countries, to celebrate the strength that the social and solidarity economy now represents everywhere—in France, of course, but also across Europe and the five continents—as a proven driver of justice and economic inclusion.
