Catalyzing worker co-ops & the solidarity economy

The Co-operative College and the Solidarity Economy

Over the past 18 months the College has been engaged in a European Commission funded Solidarity project (SUSY) spanning over 20 countries, with the primary aim to promote the ‘Solidarity Economy’ from across Europe and the Global South (www.solidarityeconomy.eu).
