Social and Solidarity Economy in Higher Education
If universities are to remain relevant to society they need to review their ethos, purpose and curricula.
To this end, the YSJ-led Erasmus Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) project has created a network where academics and practitioners from diverse cultural and interdisciplinary backgrounds question the role of universities as if people mattered. They are committed to studying, practising and researching people-centred economies to inform curriculum design.
