YOI 2005

The OECD LEED Trento Centre for Local Development is pleased to announce the International Conference on “The Social Economy in Central, East and South-East Europe: emerging trends of social innovation and local development”.

The conference will take place in Trento, Italy, on 22-23 September 2005.

The conference aims to increase understanding of the issues and policy options in terms of how best to stimulate social cohesion and labour market integration by leveraging social economy potential in Central East and South East Europe. The conference seeks to strengthen international co-operation, identify “best practices”, develop policy recommendations and agree on policy initiatives in support of the social economy.

Debates and discussions will focus on the following themes:

Rationale and Legal Frameworks for the Social Economy
What is the economic rationale of social economy organisations? How can policy initiatives effectively leverage the role of social economy organisations in promoting new forms of social service delivery and labour integration towards effective social inclusion? What is the role of legal frameworks? How can best practices inform policy processes at national and sub-national level?

Social Economy tools and practices
What are the key tools and strategies that social economy organisations employ to foster labour market integration and social inclusion? What are the key factors that define good practices? What is the role of partnerships in building sustainable communities? How do networking strategies contribute to developing social innovation?

On Saturday 24 September 2005 the Trentino Federation of Cooperatives will host a Study Visit Programme to present social economy best practices in the Autonomous Province of Trento.
