<br><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><b>Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE)
continues to attract attention at the European Level!</b> On 3–4
December, the Luxembourg Ministry of Labour Employment and the Social and
Solidarity Economy held a conference on "</font><a href="http://www.eu2015lu.eu/en/agenda/2015/12/03-04-conf-economie-sociale/index.html" target="_blank"><font size="2" color="blue" face="sans-serif">Boosting
Social Enterprises in Europe</font></a><font size="2" face="sans-serif">".
During its presidency of the Council of the European Union, Luxembourg
has promoted social economy at the European level in the context of inclusive
growth, quality job creation and social cohesion. The conference led to
the adoption of a </font><a href="http://www.eu2015lu.eu/en/actualites/communiques/2015/12/04-declaration-luxembourg/" target="_blank"><font size="2" color="blue" face="sans-serif">declaration</font></a><a href="http://www.eu2015lu.eu/en/actualites/communiques/2015/12/04-declaration-luxembourg/" target="_blank"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">

Hosted by the European Parliament, the conference was the fruit of an initiative
led and organized by the European United Left/ Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL)
to turn their long time support for the SSE into one of its main strategic
focuses for the current legislature of the European Parliament (2014-2019).
Titled “Transforming the Economic and Cultural Paradigms” the conference
brought together more than 250 participants from 14 countries in Europe,
Latin America and North America in an attempt to promote an exchange of
experiences among the different actors highlighting the problems faced
by the sector, as well as its potential in tackling the effects of the
economic crisis. UNRISD, represented by Marie-Adélaïde Matheï presented
the work of the UN Inter Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy
(</font><a href="http://unsse.org/" target="_blank"><font size="2" color="blue" face="sans-serif">UNTFSSE</font></a><font size="2" face="sans-serif">)
