Resources from Social Solidarity Economy & (Initial) Vocational Educational Training

The main objective of this page is to share the journey traveled by European countries and the tools and materials used in different training activities. The journey is substantiated in the scope of two Erasmus+ projects aimed to promote SSE in Europe.

The first project - SSEE – Social and Solidarity Economy in Europe (2016-2018) - focused on IVET and aimed at a comprehensive training and professional development of younger generations, namely with the design and pilot of three training modules. It was developed by partners from 7 countries: Agência Piaget para o Desenvolvimento (APDES) – Portugal (Coordinator), ASPECT – Bulgaria, Centrul de Resurse pentru Inițiative Etice și Solidare (CRIES) – Romania, Glafka – Czech Republic, IED – Greece, Solidarius Italia IT – Italy, Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin e. V. – Germany; plus RIPESS Europe.

After the completion of this project, it was clear the need to align SSE and the practices and methodologies of the trainers.

The second project - SSEVET2 – Strengthening VET Trainers’ Competencies and Skills (2018-2021) - aims to contribute to innovation in vocational training programs, namely by the co-design and pilot of a Training in Action Course. The Training in Action aims to promote a process of learning through experience, practice and involving the VET trainers in SSE initiatives, moving us towards the creation of a Training Community. This project is developed by partners from 6 countries: Agência Piaget para o Desenvolvimento (APDES) - Portugal (Coordinator), Centrul de Resurse pentru Inițiative Etice și Solidare (CRIES) - Romania, Dock Social Solidarity Zone - Greece, Mouvement pour l’Economie Solidaire (MES) - France, Solidarius Italia - Italy, Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin e. V. - Germany; and RIPESS Europe, the European network of SSE.
