SCOPE aims to strengthen the skills of those who want to develop inclusive cooperative initiatives for NEET youth, people with disabilities, newcomers, adults far from employment, and vulnerable communities across Europe.
We do this through two main outputs:
A guide of best practices on inclusive cooperative models
A transnational training programme for project leaders
These resources will be tested, validated, and widely shared, helping spread innovative SSE models throughout Europe.
The Social and Solidarity Economy represents around 9-10% of the European economy, with increasing impact on employment, social inclusion, and sustainability.
Cooperatives, associations, and social enterprises offer concrete responses to local challenges: inclusion, active citizenship, ecological transitions, and digital transformation.
SCOPE works within this context with a clear goal: to make SSE models more accessible and replicable in Europe’s most fragile territories.
