    Looking Up project logo

    Welcome in this e-learning area, part of the Erasmus+ project “LOOKING UP – A training path from experiences of local development towards European Social Solidarity Economy strategies!”, implemented by SOLIDARIUS ITALIA, CRIES and UFISC, in collaboration with RIPESS EUROPE.

    Main objectif of the project is the study of participatory local development from the perspective of social solidarity economy and within the framework of national and European policies supporting it.  

    From the perspectives of Italy, Romania and France and more broadly, three main topics will be discussed with theoretical approaches as well as case studies. A rich programme that will deal with different topics at the European level: 

    • How to build community? How to build local and economic development from the community?
    • How artistic & cultural alternative places and ecological transition in urban contexts takes part in local democracy?
    • Urban-rural relationship: how to build resilient communities through short supply chains in the global food system?

    Looking Up team On July 3rd-6th 2024, a first workshop took place in Florence (Italy) with the partners and local referents of the project. The goal of the workshop was to co-design the online training programme, reflecting together, with participatory methodologies, on contents, targets, tools and the pedagogical approach in order to build a learning community. Each partner and local referent were invited to share their experiences, practices and knowledge in local development and participation. It was also the opportunity to visit «Giardino dell’Ardiglione » and « Lofoio », and of course to get to know each other better in the beautiful city of Florence! 
     

    The result is the following! From November 2024 to March 2025, 3 peer-to-peer trainings will take place in the format of online webinars to enable organisations from all Europe to participate on 3 specific topics:
