"It is our aspiration that all people of Amsterdam with disabilities have an opportunity to become participants in our city"
For those who missed it: there is a short report and the main program of the conference It’s possible! is to look back.
Looking back at a great conversation about the courage to organize and manage differently, led by Natasja van den Berg. Watch one of the sub-sessions here: investing in solidarity economy – social governance, you have to dare!
Then how? We will discuss this during the conference on 15 February. With authoritative speakers, inspiring evidence and workshops. Here you will find the program.
In line with the themes, authoritative people from the field will take you along for inspiration. Get to know the opportunities for equal opportunities and investing.
Immerse yourself in it and share in the knowledge and experience from practice. Choose from the sessions in the afternoon.
The conference starts with guests from home and abroad: people who are working on change. They share with us how they realize that change.
In the sharing session for inspiration and deepening we meet a large number of people. They share their practical knowledge with us.
We exclude a lot of people. This happens unconsciously and consciously, often with the best intentions, for example to manage risks. It can also be different. By looking at recruitment & selection and organizing work differently, opportunities are created for people who would otherwise not have their turn.
Europe is committed to the future of the social economy by investing in (digital) skills. Competencies for the future: is the social economy ready?
Meaningful work is work in which people experience autonomy. A company that works with a form of shared ownership makes use of collective intelligence. Running a company from the bottom up, by the people who work there. That is a goal for a solidarity economy.
The European Commission launched the Social Economy Action Plan in December. This plan contains concrete starting points for a solidarity and social economy. The Netherlands is not a forerunner and as a member state should take EU policy to heart.
