Action Projet 01: Building and training a network promoting a socioeconomic network in South America

Issue

There is a lack of social activists and social entrepreneurs who know how to build socioeconomic communities using social money? and complementary currencies. These communities are also lacking Internet literacy and Collective Intelligence.

Objectives

Train 1500 training agents in charge of promoting and launching local and regional solidarity socioeconomies. Build a transnational network that uses collective intelligence technologies and methodologies to augment their self-sustainability, their self-awareness and maximize their cross-fertilization capabilities.

Methodology

Build different modules:

• Activate local human resource in a new approach to richness. (LRA Module – Local Resource Approach)
• Develop alternative financing adapted to local contexts (ASF Module - Alternative Financing Systems)
• Articulate each initiative to money-less markets actions, such as barter networks (CES Module - Compensated Exchange Systems)
• Develop co-management processes with the State, the Third Sector and micro, small and medium enterprises (APM Module - Associated and Participative Management)
