The year 2020 marks a decade since the 1st Social and Solidarity Economy Academy, organized by ITC-ILO in Turin, Italy, in October 2010. Over this period, 11 editions of the SSE Academy took place in 10 different countries with the support of 45 international partners. Around 1.200 people from all continents have participated in it, most of them from the Global South.

To allow us to both celebrate the 10th anniversary of the SSE Academy and to keep collaborating as we have been doing for the past ten years, the SSE Academy team is preparing a series of open virtual activities:
