MAIN GOAL

The main objective of the project is to create the conditions to best develop three types of
learning related to Social Solidarity Economy through comparison with similar experiences
carried out in EUROPE:

1) Technical / organizational learning: it concerns the practice of critical consumption,
therefore how products are chosen, contacts with producers, the beginning of personal
relationships of trust, the organization of the internal management of a S.B.G. starting from
orders up the distribution of deliveries but also more fiscal and financial aspects.

2) Cognitive learning. The change in habits redefines the patterns with which we interpret and
reflect on the reality around us. In this way, the information received is appropriated and this
does not remain neutral but influences daily choices that will follow very precise ethical
evaluations in line with one's own convictions; waste and consumption will be reduced.

3) Theoretical learning: it is the level that connects eating habits with other more general
areas, the reasoning continues from the local to connect to the global: for example the
economic crisis, territorial policies, eco-mafias, public procurement. We ask ourselves what it
means to be good citizens and how to exercise our right of citizenship, we ask ourselves
questions about lifestyle and how intrinsically this is linked to the model of economic
development pursued and advocated at national and international level, we begin to find
answers by changing our attitude and perspective.

SPECIFIC GOALS

- Develop and / or create Solidarity Buying Groups (exchange of good practices between
similar organizations in Europe);

- Increase the territorial dimension of social innovation through the construction and
consolidation of S.B.G. (case study);

- Involving new small producers (exchange of experiences);

- Use new technologies for internal management and the involvement of new customers /
suppliers;

- Disseminate the experience of the S.B.G. in institutions and schools.
