OUR WORK & PROGRAMS

EDUCATION & TRAINING

We offer political education, training, and leadership development to effectively build, grow, and sustain local solidarity economies.

TRAININGS & EVENTS

SOLIDARITY ECONOMY 101

What’s an “economy,” anyway? How do we manage the resources we have collectively? And what does a people-centered solidarity economy look like? 

CARE FOR THE PEOPLE

This series will highlight concrete ideas, strategies, and practices for creating solidarity and conditions where care is centralized. If we are to resist policies of violence and economies of war what are our alternatives? How can we expand our ideas? How can we encourage collective consciousness and reject apathy and individualism? 

RESOURCE LIBRARY

The NEC resource library is a broad collection of toolkits, curricula, stories, maps, podcasts and more that represent key apsects of solidarity economy principles, history, and practice. We see this as a living resource, which will continue to grow and evolve based on the interests of NEC members and the wider public.

EDUCATORS CONNECT WORKING GROUP

The Educators Working Group supports individual educators as a community of practice and deepens and makes accessible educational resources for the Solidarity Economy movement as a community of practice.

MEMBER TRAININGS

As a learning organization, we’re committed to ongoing political education and training. We’re organizing regular in-house trainings for our members and offering scholarships with key training training partners. Past offerings have included Economics for Emancipation and Training for Social Action Trainers (TSAT) with training for change.
