The project is dedicated to all the associations and informal groups that, operating in the area of solidarity-based social economy, contribute daily to the development of the territories where they are rooted and thus play a crucial role in the cultural and economic change of communities, but that, at the same time, are hardly able to ‘look up’ and have an exchange at European level. Looking Up therefore intends to strengthen the skills of activists, volunteers, and workers of these associations and their awareness of the policies and strategies that at a European level drive local development actions in the various territories. And it intends to do so through peer-to-peer training and a bottom-up approach, involving from the very beginning, in a dynamic of co-planning, 6 local organisations as local referents and multipliers, capable of directing the training course towards concrete needs.
