Solidarity Economy Promoters Networks |
WHO ARE THE NETWORKS
OF SOLIDARITY ECONOMY?
47 networks that, in continuity with the WSF
in Porto Alegre, 2002 and 2003, and of the
Latin-American, African and European Social
Forums, took the initiative of setting up
a coordination with a number of goals:
-
gathering together
Solidarity Economy (SE) networks international,
national and sector-based - from all over
the world;
- providing information on alternative economic
practices and raising their profile;
-
exchanging and
putting together proposals for a different
world; opening discussions with the various
elements of the alternative-globalisation
movement.
WHAT IS SOLIDARITY/PEOPLE'S
ECONOMY?
As an answer to neoliberal globalization we
need transformation and constructive alternatives
in the social, economical, political and cultural
context. Solidarity and People´s Economy
is an answer to the challenge to provide an
alternative globalization with local and global
realities and strategies for the socioeconomical
context.
Solidarity-based Economy (denominated People’s
Economy in Asia) designates all production,
distribution and consumption activities that
contribute to the democratization of the economy
based on citizens’ commitments both
at a local and global level. It is not a sector
of the economy, but a transversal approach
that includes initiatives in all sectors of
the economy.
Solidarity-based Economy is a strong tool
of empowerment, social and economical change
that starts from the initiatives of responsible
citizens who want to keep control of the way
they are producing, consuming, saving, investing,
exchanging. It is a model of community-based
and locally-based People’s Economy.
Solidarity-based Economy should not be a
simple instrument to achieve a fairer framework
for economic activity but should be instead
the subject and main agent of a social, economic,
political and cultural transformation.
WHAT DO WE PROPOSE
DURING THE WORLD SOCIAL FORUM IN MUMBAI?
The international networking is coordinating
a complete space of Solidarity and People´s
Economy, coordinating the Panel/Debate and
Seminars - see the programme.
