The National Institute of Social Economy of Mexico (INAES, el Instituto Nacional de la Economía Social), in collaboration with GSEF and GSEF2021's Local Organizing Committee, organized a series of webinars for the promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) among Members of Parliament in Mexico. This series consisted of 6 webinars organized every Tuesday from 26th May till 30th June under the theme of 'Strategic Discussions: Co-create a New Social and Economic Model for our Society' with the main objectives of raising awareness about the importance of the co-creation of public policies to promote SSE; sharing experiences and knowledge from other countries; and, establish a dialogue between policy makers and SSE actors for future collaborations and partnership. All six sessions included interventions from speakers and various discussants. 

Laurence Kwark, Secretary General of GSEF, was invited to speak in the 5th session and shared experiences and her insights about the challenges faced and strategies adopted by local governments and SSE actors in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, including initiatives from GSEF members and partners collected through the ongoing GSEF2021 Preparatory Series of Webinars.
