Social Economy - Regional Policies for supporting Social Economy Enterprises
SECON: An initiative to boost the social economy in EU regions.
Operated by: KMOP
CHALLENGE
In the midst of an era defined by unprecedented technological advancements, social transformations, and economic shifts, Europe stands at a crossroads. These changes have sparked labor market restructuring, job insecurities, and socio-economic inequalities, yet they also offer new opportunities and a redefinition of individual and collective goals. Against this backdrop, the social economy assumes paramount importance for European economies, especially in light of the green transition and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title that explicitly says that this is a collective work
Identification & Dissemination of Good Practices
SECON aspires to identify and disseminate good practices from the social economy ecosystem of partners’ regions, which are of potential interest to other regions. The main goal is to bolster the support of the social economy, by transferring or adapting their tangible or measurable results in other partners’ regions.
7 Regional Stakeholder Groups Meetings
SECON aims to host 7 regional stakeholder group meeting (per country) to amplify the engagement of all interested participants.
1 Interregional Workshop
SECON will host one interregional workshop in Bulgaria on improving visibility and awareness of social economy enterprises to individual and institutional consumers.
2 Thematic Seminars
Two thematic seminars will be organised. The first seminar in Romania aims to foster a favourable enabling environment and non-financial support for the development of the regional social economy sector (in Romania) and the second in Belgium to improve the financial and taxation regional framework for social economy enterprises.
2 Study Visits
We will organise two study visits (in Spain and Poland) to enable stakeholders to gain firsthand experience and insights on social economy ecosystem by visiting relevant institutions, or initiatives in different regions.
Joint Review of Policy Instruments
The project will facilitate collaborative assessments of policy instruments to identify areas of improvement and enhance the effectiveness of existing policies.
