Social & Solidarity Economy as Development Approach for Sustainability in EYD 2015 and beyond – SUSY

"The project is dedicated to research, advocacy, awareness raising and promoting good practices at the field of “bridging the gap” between Development Cooperation (DC) and Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) by involving public institutions and enhancing their awareness on how changes in the legal framework and public policies may strengthen the linkage between SSE and the fight against poverty. SSE experiences have been carried out all over the world, but the ongoing debate rarely involves the operators dealing with DC and Development education and awareness raising (DEAR). Besides, in the area of SSE a basic knowledge on global interdependencies between the EU and the Developing Countries is fairly widespread. "
