"The project ""BREED - Building community REsiliencE and sustainable Development through social economy"" engages a transnational consortium of local public administrations, social economy organizations and stakeholders from Italy (Alcamo), Spain (Alzira), Greece (Katerini), Portugal (Paredes), Belgium (Brussels). The project targets internal urban contexts that are currently facing social, economic and health challenges as consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. Overall, the project aims to increase the capacity of local public administrations, social economy organizations and civil society to foster social change and boost the conditions for the social economy to fulfil its potential to contribute to a resilient, inclusive and sustainable community growth. Through cross-city and transnational cooperation, a multi-stakeholder approach, exchange of community practices and peers learning, the project will engage local public administrations, social cooperatives, SMEs, not-for profit associations, social economy stakeholders (public and private sector) and local communities in the target urban contexts to work together in building social economy eco-systems, co-develop community social economy strategies, action plans and recommendations to be scaled up in other regions and local communities in Europe."
