Four Modules on the SSE are now available in Portuguese and Russian
In 2023, ITCILO Turin developed two modules for an online open access awareness-raising package on social and solidarity economy (SSE) for the UNTFSSE. With financial support provided to the ILO by the Government of Luxembourg, these modules were made available in English, French, and Spanish.
Both modules are now available in Portuguese and Russian. Arabic, Korean, Swahili, Turkish, Wolof, and Yoruba language versions will be made available shortly. In addition, the Sustainable Enterprises and Economies (SEE) Programme and The Workers’ Activities Programme (ACTRAV) of ITCILO Turin developed two additional modules elaborating issues pertaining to decent work and the SSE and the ILC resolution and its follow-up strategy and action plan on decent work and the SSE. These two new modules are now also available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. An Arabic version of the additional two modules will follow shortly.
The SSE awareness-raising package now consists of four modules looking into strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the transition to the formal economy through SSE mechanisms, and the importance of workers' voice in a new economy. The course also covers issues such as the importance of an integrated approach to the SSE in relation to the circular economy, Decent Work Agenda, Just Transition, and the SDGs.
The four modules of the course are:
Module 1 - The SSE as a game changer: understanding the concept and its building blocks – available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
Module 2 - The social and solidarity economy as a tool for decent work and inclusion – available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
Module 3 - Follow-up to the resolution concerning decent work and the social and solidarity economy – available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
Module 4 - The pivotal role of the SSE in advancing inclusive and sustainable development – available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish
