Santiago de Compostela, the Spanish capital of Social Economy

In 2022, the Galician city will host many activities related to the promotion of social economy. The Spanish capital city of Social economy is aimed at making this business model more visible in our country, informing about relevant experiences, promoting the discussion and debate about its main principals and encouraging social economy as a social and economic alternative.

This initiative is also important to promote the local scope of social economy and the positive impact that it has on the territorial cohesion, proposing it as a tool to act against rural depopulation.

Santiago de Compostela is taking over from Teruel, which hosted this event in 2021 with a very positive balance of activities, amongst which the International Research Conference on Social Enterprise, at which the model of the entities belonging to the Fundacion Espriu was presented.
