This course focuses on linking, at a theoretical, political and practical level, degrowth principles with solidarity economy and assess the ways on how solidarity economy can help a country in coerced austerity to overcome the crisis. The main idea is to target people from different social backgrounds (e.g., unemployed, people from marginalised areas, low income) and with different competencies (researchers, managers, trainers, practitioners) which can contribute with differing perspectives in the development and application of innovative teaching methodologies for transforming local solidarity economy initiatives into viable solutions to overcome the crisis.
