What is SSEds?
THE PROJECT
In the report of 2018 of the Research Institute for Social Development of the United Nations, it is stated that, for a sustainable development, it is important to consider the multidimensional impact of the Social and Solidarity Economy (social, environmental, civic participation and political empowerment), and it is necessary to create instruments to measure it.
7 organisations of 4 countries (Spain, Italy, Greece and France) have joined in this project with an overall objective: to visualize the social impact of entrepreneurship initiatives in SSE, especially promoted by young people.
For this, with the SSEds project we want to:
> reinforce methodologies for accompanying young people in entrepreneurship in SSE, especially those with fewer opportunities;
> strengthen the competences and visions in SSE so that young people can undertake initiatives in their communities;
> elaborate new tools for SSE, fruit of a collective creation;
> create instruments for the evaluation of the social impact of SSE initiatives.
It is important to consider the multidimensional impact of the
Social and Solidarity Economy (social, environmental, civic participation and political empowerment),
and it is necessary to create instruments to measure it.
