#SomESS In Barcelona we decide and make SSE

The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is already here in Barcelona! It is so plural and diverse that it allows people, organisations and enterprises not only to live with it but, increasingly, to live making it! Because the fact is the SSE is already at hand, in our neighbourhoods and districts, with products, services and activities that can be used for living and which show that the city is already making an economy for life.

They are many and diverse and, among other places, can be found in the:

As well as some of the entities that coordinate the SSE fabric in the city:

On the basis of inter-cooperation and networking, the WG7 identifies, lays out and profiles the story of the Social and Solidarity Economy in order to make it known to the public.

La Febrerada: First Barcelona SSE Celebration and Gathering

La Febrerada, the first festive gathering to reflect on Barcelona’s social and solidarity economy (SSE), was held on 10 February. The goal was to generate a meeting space for various initiatives to share challenges and move forward in consolidating the SSE in a coordinated way, and, at the same time, show that this ecosystem is now a reality in the city.

The meeting was divided into two parts: a morning session for reflection and inspiration and a festive evening with shows and concerts.
