The Forum’s central theme is the “Social Economy and Cities: Values and competitiveness for inclusive and sustainable local development”.
GSEF2018 is therefore in line with the current debates at European and global level considering the social economy, in its various expressions, as a real and viable option to advance and grow socially and economically in a different way.
