Why

We thought to collect practical, tangible stories of how people like you are contributing to create economic value, societal bonds and a deeper relationship with mother nature because Social and Solidarity economy is contributing to change the economic landscape of Europe for the better but it is still difficult for many to grasp what it really brings or how it manifests.

What

The Diaries are a collection of experiences by social entrepreneurs, their collaborators and employees, those who support their activities and finally those who benefit from their products and services.

If you decide to contribute, you will be asked to tell a story about your experience in Social Economy. This is the key of the exercise. Then, you will be asked to answer to a set of questions about your story, such as:

• was the story about a company in particular?
• where did the story happen?
• what impacts did it create on you?
...etcetera

Aside from being an inspiration to others, the stories will give insights on the specific needs of this still delicate part of our economy. The results will be collected and published in a small downloadable booklet that will also be distributed across Europe to policymakers, citizens, opinion leaders and fellow entrepreneurs.
