Local Social Economy Learning Package
A European Curriculum for Social Enterprise Practitioners and Supporters
Summary :
In some European countries there are already many training courses on the social economy. They cover a variety of different topics and vary considerably – from very specialised courses in some countries to being general and vague. Past research has revealed a number of problems and weaknesses in some of the available training and learning packages.
In view to address them, this Learning Package will take an innovative approach and will:
• reflect and learn from international experiences and perspectives
• analyse and debate the overall cultural, social, environmental as well as
economic framework in which the Local Social Economy is embedded
• analyse and develop practical policies and strategies on a macro as well as
micro-economic level
• include and use theoretical thinking and empirical research to influence practical work
