July 9 12:30h Geneva time / Online conversion ENG-FR-CAST
Given the significant space that social entrepreneurship has taken up in recent years and the lack of conceptual clarity and values surrounding the current ESS ecosystem, it was necessary to provide a good basis for understanding the difference between social and solidarity economy and social entrepreneurship.
The author, Yvon Poirier, has been active since 2004 within the Intercontinental Network for the Promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy (RIPESS), among other tasks, and since 2014 he has represented RIPESS within the Interagency Task Force of the United Nations on the Social and Solidarity Economy (UNTFSSE).
