RAMICS Online Roundtable on March 5, 2021

At a time of uncertainty about the future and increased precarity in the present, we at RAMICS believe that complementary and community currencies have become and even more relevant tool to build community resilience and hopefully help us transition towards a more sustainable future. So, while the pandemic has forced the bi-annual RAMICS conference to be postponed, we see the need to keep the conversation alive. For this reason, we are organizing an online Round-table on March 5.

The round-table will focus on the question: What ideas, technologies and practices are conducive to the development and institutionalization of complementary currencies?
Presenters will be Chikako Nakayama, Manabu Kuwata, Fabienne Pinos, Rolf Schroeder and Marcus Petz.
They will help us advance the conversation on ideas, technologies and practices advancing efforts to implement complementary currencies.

Mark the date in your calendar, stay tuned, and join the conversation on March 5, 17.00-19.00 Japan time, or 09.00-11.00 Central European time.

The SSEVET2 Project is pleased to invite you to participate in the side-event SSE and IVET: A step forward to create a meaningful future, organised by APDES within the ECOSOC Youth Forum scope, and to be held online on April 6 at:

The event aims at discussing the potential of combining Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) and Initial Vocational Education and Training (IVET) to promote alternative socio-economic models, needed in an era of transition. APDES and its partners RIPESS EU, MES, Solidarius IT, CRIES, DOCK and TechNET believe that SSE is a means for systemic and transformative change and, therefore, next generations need to be actively involved as promoters of that change. 

 In this event, the innovative practices that have been tested by the Partnership since 2016 will be shared, and followed by a discussion on how future collaborative steps can address the current needs of the young people, namely within the framework of a meaningful recovery after Covid-19 pandemic.

The SSEVET2 Project aims to promote the SSE in Europe, through the training of trainers and youngsters in this thematic area, and it is funded by the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union.

The event requires prior registration here.

Please find attached the programme.

In solidarity,
