Support Centre for Social Solidarity Economy of the Prefecture of Heraklion

Within the framework of this project, CommonsLab staff organized a series of publicity actions for the social solidarity economy such as workshops and lectures in cooperation with local authorities and social solidarity economy organizations. We also provided support services to existing and new social cooperative enterprises such as business and marketing plans, procedures for setting up new enterprises and networking services. Two novel business tools were developed as part of the project:

• The cooperative principles to support members of small cooperatives and
• The educational material “Creating a small cooperative”.
