Hello P2P Friends,

Hope you are doing well!

I would like to share with you some information regarding the ILO Academy on Social and Solidarity Economy... the 7th edition will start in few days in Costa Rica and I think this is a moment in which the SSE community is particularly open to ideas related to commons, networks and P2P perspectives. For this edition, we have created a web space/forum that will allow participants to interact among themselves before, during and after the Academy... this space is also open for anyone interested in following the Academy by Internet, in interacting with its participants and in suggesting topics, ideas and new perspectives to complement and enhance the SSE... I think the idea of "open cooperative" might be one of the interesting concepts to be introduced and advanced.

Well, that is to say that I think it would be great if you guys could join the discussions in the web forum, introduce yourselves, tell a bit about what you are doing and post some links to materials, videos, etc related to commons and P2P... and also engage in conversations with participants... I think it could add great value to the discussions that will happen in Costa Rica and that it could also bring the SSE closer to the P2P/Commons movements.

Here is the link to the forum: http://www.sseacb.net/costarica2016.html

Cheers and best regards,
