Global Social Economy Forum (GSEF) February Edition 2019

Motivated by the success of GSEF2018 in Bilbao, GSEF is determined to engage with more Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) practitioners and related government officials in different regions for fostering the growth of SSE worldwide in the year 2019. Since January 2019, GSEF has expanded with new members and also new staff at the secretariat. This new strength will help GSEF to flourish and consolidate its role as a hub for sharing visions and experiences of SSE.
