"On és la gent? Mirant Amazon Prime. Fem publicitat a #Amazon Prime?"
Aquesta reflexió es fa al documental de la cooperativa Som Energia per celebrar els 15 anys.
És un dilema que és planteja a moltes #cooperatives amb propòsit transformador quan ja són grans.
❓Creus que la forma de seguir creixent és començar a fer publicitat i/o pagar a plataformes socials privades com #Meta, #X o #TikTok ❓

👉 Lundi dernier, nous avons pris le temps de questionner collectivement le rôle des #Coopératives d’Activité et d’Emploi (#CAE ) face aux réalités de l’#entrepreneuriat : précarité des parcours, besoin de sécurisation, ancrage territorial, coopérations.
Une conviction s’est dégagée : accompagner celles et ceux qui souhaitent entreprendre en créant des cadres collectifs qui sécurisent !
Une opération co-financée par la Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et le Fonds social européen +.

▶️ Workers cooperatives explained
In a worker cooperative, members share interest in the work wich is provided by or ensured through the cooperative.
The members are individual workers (worker-members) whose jobs are directly assured through the cooperative.
A worker cooperative aims to offer its members decent working conditions and income.
Just had a one hour interview that turned into two hours with @ecosentido . We talked about solidarity economy; cooperatives; the work of @luisrazeto Euclides Mance, Pablo Guerra; FairTrade in a colonial context, and more...
We will publish it in @GEO_Collective in the journal and/or website, so stay tuned.
