Les engagements du Social Good Accelerator dans le cadre des Transition Pathways : renforcer les compétences numériques dans et par l’économie sociale

La feuille de route Transition Pathways est le fruit d’un intense travail de co-construction mené entre décembre 2021 et mars 2022.
Le Social Good Accelerator (SOGA) y a été mobilisé comme expert européen des enjeux numériques de l’économie sociale auprès de la Commission européenne.

Cette démarche vise à identifier des axes de coopération concrets pour accompagner la double transition numérique et écologique des écosystèmes industriels et de l’économie sociale.
Elle appelle les acteurs publics, privés et associatifs à formuler des engagements collectifs afin de faire converger leurs actions dans les directions proposées.

À la suite de sa présentation officielle le 14 novembre 2023, à laquelle Jeanne Bretécher, présidente du SOGA, a participé, notre organisation a répondu à l’appel à engagement de la Commission européenne.
Nous contribuons ainsi à la mise en œuvre concrète de ces recommandations, en soutenant les acteurs de terrain dans leur transition verte et numérique à l’échelle européenne.

Le Social Good Accelerator (SOGA) est un think & do tank européen fondé en 2017 à partir d’un double constat :
la transition numérique des organisations de l’économie sociale reste trop peu accompagnée, et les modèles numériques alternatifs issus de l’économie sociale peinent encore à émerger.

Ces modèles représentent pourtant une “troisième voie” européenne : celle d’une innovation numérique fondée sur les valeurs démocratiques, la justice sociale et le respect de l’environnement.

Aujourd’hui, le SOGA fédère plus de 70 membres, réseaux et citoyens engagés à travers l’Europe.
Nous travaillons à accélérer la transformation de l’économie sociale grâce aux leviers numériques : montée en compétences, plaidoyer et recherche collaborative.

Notre conviction : seules des compétences numériques renforcées permettront aux organisations de l’économie sociale de saisir pleinement les opportunités de la transition digitale et d’utiliser les technologies pour défendre leurs valeurs et promouvoir des modèles numériques fondés sur les communs.

C’est pourquoi le SOGA s’engage à renforcer les compétences numériques de l’économie sociale dans l’Union européenne, à travers son programme “Digital Skills”, qui comprend aujourd’hui deux projets structurants :
le projet européen Social Tech Academy et le projet national Social_tEchSS.

La Social Tech Academy : un travail d’acculturation et de développement des compétences numériques de l’économie sociale

La Social Tech Academy est un projet européen financé par Erasmus+.
À partir de fin 2023, elle deviendra la plateforme de référence pour les métiers du numérique dans l’économie sociale européenne.

Elle s’adresse aux jeunes diplômés, personnes en reconversion, formateurs et recruteurs de l’économie sociale, et proposera :

20 modules de formation en ligne sur des thématiques numériques clés, avec contenus théoriques, études de cas, outils pratiques et bibliothèques de ressources, disponibles en français, anglais, italien et espagnol ;
20 fiches métiers et 20 entretiens avec des professionnels du secteur ;
la formation de 80 à 100 formateurs européens au sein de l’enseignement supérieur, via quatre jours de formation dans les quatre langues du projet, afin de créer une communauté d’apprentissage continue autour des métiers du Social Tech.

L’objectif : permettre aux formateurs de transmettre ces compétences aux demandeurs d’emploi, salariés de l’économie sociale et étudiants, en favorisant l’autonomie et la montée en compétence collective.

Le projet prévoit aussi le développement d’une base de données ouverte recensant les acteurs de la transition numérique de l’économie sociale en Europe, sous forme de plateforme web et d’application mobile.
Cette base s’appuie sur le Social Tech Atlas, déjà créé par le SOGA, qui référence plus de 1 000 organisations européennes proposant des solutions technologiques, des services ou un accompagnement à la transformation numérique de l’ESS.

Le projet Social_tEchSS : un travail sur les référentiels de compétences numériques

Le projet Social_tEchSS, financé par la Fondation Crédit Coopératif et l’Agence nationale de la cohésion des territoires (ANCT), est un programme de recherche-action visant à co-construire des référentiels de compétences et de formation en compétences numériques de base, adaptés aux réalités professionnelles des salariés de l’économie sociale.
Il mobilise pour cela l’expertise des réseaux de médiation numérique.

Les engagements du projet :

Outiller les salarié·es de l’économie sociale grâce à des référentiels communs entre médiation numérique et ESS, afin de leur permettre d’accompagner leurs publics vers l’autonomie digitale ;
Enrichir les référentiels de compétences transversales existants en intégrant de nouvelles situations professionnelles propres à l’économie sociale ;
Diffuser et valoriser les pratiques et outils de médiation numérique dans le secteur ;
Sensibiliser les décideurs publics et financeurs à l’importance d’investir dans la formation numérique des acteurs de l’ESS.

Le projet cible huit branches professionnelles de l’économie sociale en France, dont les salarié·es sont en contact direct avec des publics vulnérables.
Son ambition : former les professionnels de l’ESS à la maîtrise des outils numériques, à la détection des fragilités digitales, et à l’orientation des publics vers des médiateurs spécialisés, afin de réduire durablement la fracture numérique.

De nouveaux projets en préparation pour renforcer les compétences numériques de l’économie sociale en Europe

Le SOGA prépare actuellement deux nouveaux projets Erasmus+ en partenariat avec des acteurs européens, dans le cadre des coopérations pour l’éducation des adultes.

1️⃣ L’European Data School :

Un programme inédit visant à renforcer les compétences des acteurs de l’économie sociale sur la donnée ouverte (Open Data).
L’objectif : proposer dès 2026 des parcours de formation complets, accessibles sans prérequis, combinant cours en ligne et “data expéditions”, pour apprendre à manipuler et réutiliser les données publiques dans des projets à impact social.

2️⃣ Le Campus de la médiation numérique (en partenariat avec La MedNum) :

Ce projet rassemblera les acteurs européens de la médiation numérique dispersés dans l’économie sociale et la société civile.
Il visera à :

identifier les meilleures pratiques et référentiels de formation en Europe ;
organiser une semaine de formation intensive dans huit pays européens ;
et construire un plaidoyer européen pour valoriser ces métiers essentiels et les intégrer pleinement dans les politiques d’inclusion numérique de l’Union.

À travers ces projets, le SOGA poursuit un objectif clair : renforcer les cadres de formation et les compétences numériques des acteurs de l’économie sociale, en s’appuyant sur les médiateurs numériques comme vecteurs d’inclusion et de transformation collective.

Transition pathways: solutions for proximity economy and social tech

Transition pathways: solutions for proximity economy and social tech

By splitting into four groups in this session, the audience of these first workshops discussed about the transition pathways with social economy stakeholders and heads of different commission departments.
As the transition pathways is made to enable to step up contributions in the green and digital transitions, it focuses on policy making influencing local and regional levels, where actors are anchored and need support the most.

The challenges for the ecosystem
Social Economy Europe, Diesis, Euclid Network and the Social Good Accelerator were animating separately four workshops focusing on social tech entrepreneurship, data management, platform shared economy and social tech. The Social Good Accelerator focused on the latter.

By being part of this group, the association and the associated organisations aimed to bring the key points of the transition pathways documents with the attendees. Indeed, a first draft of the document put in synthesis around 70 contributions, including the one that the Social Good Accelerator wrote with its community. The report explores the areas where social economy should take action, notably to accelerate the digital transition. The idea through these workshops was to bring simple words on complex topics, reduced to a certain amount.

First, the group discussed altogether on what does access to technology implies to us. The problems related to the digital tools is that some people think they are out of reach, mostly due to psychological barriers, resources challenge, but especially the skills related to it. The digital divide and the feeling of digital isolation are both real in this context.

Besides, with the pandemic, there was a brutal transition towards the use of tools in which many didn’t have the skills and the equipment related. Solving this issue is a matter of means public authorities allow to solve it, through levers such as economic resources and training.

Moving to solutions
A few examples of good practices were raised by the attendees, who brought different interesting contributions. For instance, some identified a necessity to support the creation and sharing of each industrial sector, enabled by the proper and adequate regulations. For instance, in Israel, accessibility is not only limited to the physical one, but has a broader definition in the law. It includes the digital prism within it.

On the other side of the scope, startup models are focused on hyper growth and are scale-up oriented. With such a different mindset, the impact also is. Besides, it is challenging to identify the good technology for a social organisation’s needs. Some tools have this scope in mind, such as Rogervoice.

« When working, all kind of different people are involved, and it’s quite an interesting but difficult bridge to go over », maintained a panelist. By those words, the exclusion of the elderly in the digital sphere was raised. Nonetheless, their exclusion is not only based on skills, but also on their own confidence and on the product designing. Like any new technology, the digital brings exclusion if it is not made properly. In other words, digital mean substituting, and multimodality is the key.

The workshop concluded that enabling a decentralised Internet would be the key for an efficient digital social innovation ecosystem. Besides, employability makes sure that new talents come to civic tech sector. Older people have a mistrust in the digital tools. A rapid prototypic or an iterative design is needed to continue on this way, paved with several challenges : access to tech, bringing skills or upskill people, and the challenges related to resources themselves.

‘It was a successful experience’, Social Economy Europe’s view on the European Social Economy Summit.

‘It was a successful experience’, Social Economy Europe’s view of the european social economy summit

The European summit on the social economy brought together nearly 2000 participants on 5 and 6 May 2022 in Strasbourg. Organised in the framework of the French Presidency of the European Union with the support of the Eurometropole of Strasbourg, the objective was to discuss the place of the social economy in the European Union and its future through conferences, workshops and meetings.

The Social Good Accelerator, member of the steering committee of the event, was present and contributed to the promotion and dissemination of its ideas, namely raising awareness on the necessary digital transition of the social economy through two workshops and a conference.

Our member, Social Economy Europe, also a member of the steering committee of the event, also participated in this summit through numerous workshops and conferences.

This interview with Victor Meseguer, Director at Social Economy Europe, aims to enrich the feedback on this major European summit for the social economy.

From the Social Economy Europe side, how did you prepare for this event?

The preparation of the event started in June 2021. The first meeting took place with Pierre Roth and Sandra Guilmin in Brussels at the time when they were exploring the different funding options for the European social economy summit (hereafter “Conference”). At that time, it was already known that the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union was going to take place, so it was expected that there would be a strong presence of the French Presidency, but also a strong presence of the European Commission, which was present through human resources and political representatives. In July 2021, the Social Economy Europe (SEE) team travelled to Strasbourg with the presidents and co-presidents of the European Parliament’s social economy intergroup to have a meeting with the Mayor of Strasbourg. The exchanges focused on the expectations related to the Conference.

This Conference was expected to be the major european conference of the social economy in 2022. We can also say that there was a sort of handover of legitimacy at the end of the social economy summit in Mannheim in 2021.

From then on, the way of working was similar to that of the SOGA, notably through meetings to co-construct the event. The added value of SEE was also similar to that of SOGA. Our aim was to create bridges between actors, to ensure that the Conference had a European dimension, that it responded well to the interests of Social Economy actors. Our added value as a network is our ability to mobilise people, networks and organisations across Europe.

Also, on the SEE side, we organised our general assembly in Strasbourg, the day before the Conference, which allowed us to mobilise most of our members.

From the SEE side, how did the workshops go? In particular the one on transition pathways, what did you learn from it?

It was an interesting workshop. We mobilised between 30 and 50 people. There were key players in the social economy in the room: both major European networks, for example Cooperative Europe, Philea, ESS France Outre-mer and others. We also managed to mobilise two players who are strongly committed to the social economy in the territories: the region of Brussels and the region of Navarra in northern Spain.

‘It was a successful experience, a first opportunity to educate on a subject that is difficult to understand, not that it is difficult as such, but it is mainly the terminology, the slang that can cause problems. When we talk about transition pathways for the social economy, we are talking about a big strategic plan where everyone must be involved and express their expectations and needs. On this last point, there is a problem of connection with reality. So this workshop was a step to start explaining the exercise we are doing and its importance.

Also, we gathered some interesting information. First of all, the problem with the transition pathways is that you have a lot of access to generalist experts, people who are very knowledgeable about the whole subject of social economy. But it is difficult to find people with expertise on the green transition and the digital transition. There is a second problem. We don’t capture the whole reality of the social economy. We need to capture the whole reality of the social economy, which is much broader. The Social Good Accelerator has a key role to play on this point to get its network involved.

You had a stand shared with ESS France and the CRESS Grand Est. What were the interactions with the public? What types of exchanges did you have?

We had quite a few people from very different backgrounds who came by, including a representative of a Greek association and a journalist from Euractiv, for example. Many of them asked for information on social economy and information on how to join us.

The social economy, the future of Europe: that was the name of this forum. What can we retain from this summit for the future of SSE?

We can retain these key words: alliance, change of scale, major macroeconomic objectives. Our objective is indeed to move from 6.3% of employment in SSE in Europe (i.e. 13.6M jobs) to 10% (i.e. more than 22M jobs) in 2030 by the time of the action plan.

‘The Social Economy Action Plan is our window of opportunity to grow.’

It is not about growing for the sake of growing, it is not about growing for the sake of more money, but it is about growing to create more quality jobs in Europe, to create more integration for disadvantaged groups and/or those at risk of social exclusion, to create more social, environmental and technological innovation and to be the major player in Europe in digital, green and fair transitions. To grow, we need to meet and get to know each other. We need to build more alliances on a European scale, starting from the local level. In this respect, we have a big window of opportunity on our table with the European Social Economy plan.

Are you satisfied with this summit?

We are very satisfied because there were 2000 people registered. There was a risk that it would be very Francophone, but I don’t think that was the case. I saw people from all over Europe: from Lithuania, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Ireland.

You can also see that everything is in place to jump. This is the image of the trampoline. To jump, we need a lot of cooperation and alliances. The principle of the social economy is cooperation, but we can do much better in this area.

What are the next steps for Social Economy Europe?

The next steps are to keep growing. We have recently welcomed two new members, one from Ukraine and one from Poland. We are the voice of the 2.8M social economy organisations in Europe. We aim to represent not only European but also pan-European networks.

We have 2 other key objectives that will happen soon. Before the summer, we want to write a policy paper on the implementation of the action plan with concrete proposals. Since 2014, we have made two proposals for an action plan. For example, we asked for the single platform on the social economy, which the European Commission accepted. But now we have to go further and say what exactly we want through this platform. The new policy paper will address this issue. In parallel, we are undertaking a strategic reflection process to consolidate the organisation.

Open letter: the necessary digital transition of the social economy

by sogaccelerator | 10 Mar 2022 | Actualités de SOGA, Communs & plaidoyer, Editorial

Open letter: Anchoring the social and solidarity economy in its digital future

In February 2022, the Social Good Accelerator and its 70 members maintained its vision in its open letter. A better world can only be made with the full support of social economy, which also has to be digitalised. This is how the association defines the key role of the digital transition of social economy in solving social problems with full potential.

In 2018, Jeanne Bretécher and Steven Bertal founded the Social Good Accelerator to gather the digital sector and social economy

Our vision: to encourage technological innovation actors to develop and collaborate with social innovation actors in Europe

Four years ago, the Social Good Accelerator (SOGA EU) association was born in France from a double observation: on the one hand, the digital transition of social economy organisations in Europe is left to one side by public policies and funders, and on the other hand, the digital models of social economy encounter too many obstacles to their development.

Its 70 members wish to defend together the vision of a digital social economy (Social Tech) and European, centred on “digital commons”, sustainable and available to all, and to have social economy organisations recognised as actors of the technological transition.

SOGA EU’s work aims to inform social economy actors and decision-makers of the innovative responses proposed to mitigate the digital divide, Uberisation, platform abuses and to promote equity for people who are far from employment, discriminated against in training and retraining.

The challenges: towards a collaborative and responsible digital model for tomorrow’s economy

In the framework of the European Social Economy Action Plan, which SOGA has been working on, and especially the need for new ideas to emerge to build resilience for all, social economy necessarily has a role to play.

However, as our study – ‘Cooperation between social utility and tech actors in Europe’ – has shown, most social economy organisations – whatever their status – encounter obstacles in their development similar to those of very small enterprises, with additional difficulties linked to their lack of profit, the financing of projects to the detriment of the structures, and the lack of sectoral organisation on these issues.

To meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, SOGA believes that the digital transition can be an opportunity to finally scale up the European SSE, provided that it creates real alternatives and new economic, social and environmental opportunities. To activate this lever, SOGA is promoting and developing digital mediation, UX design and open data.

Our actions: the urgent need to accelerate the digital transition of social economy for a new European horizon

To address the status quo in this area, the Social Good Accelerator managed to :

publish a European study on cooperation between social economy and Tech actors.
conducting advocacy at national and European level.
launch the first mapping of Social Tech in Europe and soon present the first European information and guidance platform with associated professions (with support from the European Erasmus+ fund).

Since 2018, the media, public policy and funders’ views have shifted towards :

an awareness in the social economy sector of its backwardness and difficulties in terms of digital transition – particularly highlighted by the health crisis.
a consideration of territorial needs in terms of digital mediation to preserve territorial equality and access to fundamental rights.
a need to correlate ecological and digital transition to decarbonise the economy.
the observation that some digital citizen responses were effective during the health crisis, as they remain.

The Social Economy Action Plan and its presentation were a watershed moment for the sector

Source: European Commission

Our proposals: give the social economy the tools for a successful digital transition

Ensuring effective equal opportunities and rights to digital transformation

There is a latent lack of training for digital talent, including in the SSE. This is why the public authorities need to provide an impetus to promote support for the digital transformation of organisations that are both economic players and intermediaries for the most vulnerable populations. In this respect, the European action plan for the social economy includes a digital component. The recommendations contained therein give levers of action to the decision-making bodies to act in the direction of these two sectors. Both France and the European Union must set an example and promote ambitious policies to support this change in the general interest.

Developing digital skills: digital citizenship and new jobs.

While almost 85% of the jobs that will be practised in 2030 probably do not yet exist, it seems essential to gradually train the active population for the transformations of the economy, which is becoming increasingly digital and social.

Together with three European partners, SOGA has devised a step-by-step training programme through the Social Tech Academy project. The idea here is to develop digital skills by pooling resources on existing training in these areas. The focus on a resource platform aims to enable the digital transformation of the EU, which has the ambition to train 80% of the Union’s population in basic digital skills by 2030.

Unlocking funding for digital innovation in social economy organisations and the development of new models

Through European actions and forward thinking, SOGA works to build bridges between local actions and European policies through a common collaboration framework.

Nevertheless, they require fiscal, normative and financial support and continuous mobilisation to promote alternative models.

In the meantime, SOGA wishes to further explore the potential for cooperation between social economy and digital actors in Europe. There are many possibilities to achieve cross innovation, i.e. social and sustainable digital innovation: setting up a European model of “social tech” clusters, promoting project collaborations between social economy and innovative SMEs, or an ambitious European development programme for open and free technologies and databases. We ask to facilitate access to funding for new models combining digital transition and social economy.

Cooperation and digital commons: continuation and upcoming events
In the framework of the European Social Economy Action Plan, which SOGA has been working on, and especially the need for new ideas to emerge to build resilience for all, social economy necessarily has a role to play.

Under the impulse of France, the Social Good Accelerator community, and more globally the social economy structures from all over Europe have the hope to see the issues of :

- - - - inclusive and equitable digital transformation in the territories
        
        promotion of alternative cooperative models
        
        digital skills development

The importance of the sector in France favours its promotion. The benefits of this sustainable economic and social model must be developed by the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union in line with the Social Economy Action Plan, presented on 16 December 2021 by the European Commission. The time has come to anchor social economy in its 2.0 version for greater resilience and full inclusion of all publics.

The Social Good Accelerator is counting on this momentum to continue to assert that the open data and the social and digital nature of the economy carry within them a European model in the making. As further evidence of the importance of a healthy public debate and the central role of epistemic communities like ours, see you in 2022 in Strasbourg on the occasion of the Conference on Social Economy, and for the European Social Good Week which will promote the digital social economy ecosystem between Paris, Lisbon and Brussels.

Lettre ouverte – Ancrer l’ESS dans son avenir numérique

by sogaccelerator | 20 Feb 2022 | Communs & plaidoyer, Editorial

Lettre ouverte – Ancrer l’économie sociale et solidaire dans son avenir numérique

février 2022 - Social Good Accelerator et ses 70 membres

Contexte

En février 2022, le Social Good Accelerator (SOGA) et ses 70 membres ont souhaité réaffirmer leur vision : un monde plus juste et durable ne peut se construire qu’avec le plein soutien de l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS).
Encore faut-il que cette économie soit pleinement numérisée, afin de jouer tout son rôle dans la résolution des défis sociaux et environnementaux.

personnes-prenant-part-a-un-evenement-de-haut-protocole

Nos constats

Créée en 2018, l’association est née d’un double constat :

la transition numérique des organisations de l’ESS est encore largement ignorée par les politiques publiques et les financeurs,
les modèles numériques alternatifs portés par l’ESS rencontrent trop d’obstacles à leur développement.

Nos 70 membres défendent ensemble une vision d’économie sociale numérique européenne (Social Tech) fondée sur :

les communs numériques,
la durabilité,
l’accessibilité pour toutes et tous.

Nous demandons la reconnaissance pleine et entière des organisations de l’ESS comme acteurs de la transition technologique.

Les défis à relever

L’ESS européenne fait face à des difficultés structurelles :

financement de projets au détriment du renforcement des structures,
manque de ressources humaines et de compétences numériques,
obstacles similaires à ceux des très petites entreprises, aggravés par l’absence de but lucratif.

Pourtant, la transition numérique peut être une opportunité d’essaimage, d’innovation et de montée en puissance de l’ESS à l’échelle européenne. Encore faut-il créer de véritables alternatives et ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives économiques, sociales et environnementales.

Nos propositions

1. Garantir l’égalité des droits dans la transformation numérique

Il est urgent de soutenir les structures de l’ESS dans leur transition digitale. Les pouvoirs publics doivent impulser une politique ambitieuse afin de donner à ces acteurs, qui accompagnent aussi les publics vulnérables, les moyens de se transformer.

2. Développer les compétences numériques

Près de 85 % des métiers de 2030 n’existent pas encore. L’ESS doit s’y préparer en formant progressivement salariés, bénévoles et publics accompagnés aux compétences numériques.
Avec nos partenaires européens, nous développons des programmes de formation et une plateforme de ressources partagée via le projet Social Tech Academy.

3. Libérer des financements pour l’innovation numérique sociale

De nouveaux modèles alliant ESS et numérique doivent être soutenus fiscalement, réglementairement et financièrement.
Nous plaidons pour :

un programme européen ambitieux de soutien aux technologies libres et ouvertes,
la création de clusters Social Tech européens,
la coopération entre ESS, PME innovantes et acteurs du numérique éthique.

Nos actions déjà engagées

Depuis 2018, le SOGA et ses membres ont :

publié une étude européenne sur la coopération entre ESS et acteurs Tech,
mené des actions de plaidoyer national et européen,
lancé la première cartographie européenne de la Social Tech,
initié le développement d’une plateforme d’orientation et d’information financée par Erasmus+.

Ces efforts ont contribué à :

renforcer la prise de conscience des retards numériques de l’ESS,
valoriser la médiation numérique comme outil d’égalité territoriale,
corréler transition numérique et transition écologique,
démontrer la pertinence des solutions citoyennes issues du numérique libre.

Un momentum européen à saisir

Avec le Plan d’action européen pour l’économie sociale (2021–2030) et la Présidence française du Conseil de l’UE, une fenêtre historique s’ouvre.
Nous appelons les décideurs à :

promouvoir une transition numérique inclusive et équitable,
soutenir les modèles coopératifs et alternatifs,
renforcer le développement des compétences numériques citoyennes.

L’ESS numérique doit être ancrée dès aujourd’hui dans les politiques européennes pour garantir résilience, innovation et justice sociale.

Je découvre les actions de plaidoyer du SOGA

Pourquoi le Social Good Accelerator a-t-il publié une lettre ouverte en février 2022 ?

Le SOGA et ses 70 membres ont voulu rappeler que l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) doit être pleinement intégrée dans la transition numérique européenne, afin de jouer son rôle clé dans la résolution des défis sociaux et environnementaux.

Quels sont les principaux constats du Social Good Accelerator ?

Deux constats majeurs : la transition numérique des structures de l’ESS est largement ignorée par les politiques publiques, et les modèles numériques alternatifs portés par l’ESS rencontrent trop d’obstacles pour se développer.

Quelles propositions concrètes formule le SOGA ?

La lettre ouverte avance trois priorités :

garantir l’égalité des droits et des opportunités dans la transformation numérique,
développer les compétences numériques des citoyens et des acteurs de l’ESS,
faciliter l’accès aux financements pour l’innovation sociale et numérique.

Quelles actions a déjà menées le Social Good Accelerator ?

Depuis 2018, le SOGA a publié une étude européenne sur la coopération entre ESS et Tech, lancé une cartographie de la Social Tech, mené des actions de plaidoyer et développé une plateforme d’orientation financée par Erasmus+.

Quel est le lien avec le Plan d’action européen pour l’économie sociale ?

Le SOGA contribue activement à ce plan, qui couvre la période 2021–2030. La lettre ouverte insiste sur l’urgence d’y intégrer une composante numérique forte pour soutenir les organisations de l’ESS.

Comment puis-je soutenir cette démarche ?

Vous pouvez adhérer au Social Good Accelerator, participer aux groupes de travail, relayer nos actions ou soutenir financièrement nos projets.
