Last week, in online format, the first workshop promoted in the scope of the European project "Social Economy For a JustGreen Transition" of the COSME - Missions of Social Economy programme, organised by the municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, took place. The initiative, which counted with the participation of a set of local partners such as Social and Cultural Centre S. Pedro de Bairro, Social and Parish Centre of Ribeirão, Social Centre of Calendário, Engenho, CIOR and REFOOD Famalicão, aimed at sharing examples of good practices. With the work carried out, the project aims to develop material that can lead to the emergence of projects and support ideas for the implementation of new local policies, with the objective of boosting the transition of the social economy towards a greener economy and a fairer society.
