The National Secretariat of Solidarity Economy of the PT (Workers’ Party) and the Perseu Abramo Foundation present the course “Another Economy – Strategies for Mobilization and Engagement,” a training program to strengthen the role of the solidarity economy as an alternative to the capitalist model and a promoter of economic and social autonomy.
The course proposes the collective construction of knowledge, identities, and strategies to expand the practice of the solidarity economy, reinforcing its principles of collectivity, cooperation, respect, and solidarity.
The content is based on the historical trajectory of the movement and its interface with territorial development, seeking to inspire new practices of organization and articulation.
