Award-winning project and Conference video
Our team earned the International Association of Facilitators’ Silver Award, recognizing the quality and impact of our facilitation across the entire three-year project. Another major milestone was our conference themed:
“How can higher education foster interactions between the current economic systems (public, private and social) to promote social entrepreneurship cultures for sustainable development in our communities?”
Conference participants came from 21 countries across 5 continents. We were delighted to be partners with the British Council Canada’s Students for Social Impact programme.

The project, part funded by Erasmus Mundus, was based on the premise that if universities are to remain relevant to society they need to review their ethos, purpose and curricula.
The aim of the project was to enhance the studies and practices of the social/solidarity economy within formal, non-formal and informal education.
Its main output was a handbook designed by project partners from Spain, Portugal, Peru and UK, together with international academics and practitioners: https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/social-and-solidarity-economy/
