How can the social and solidarity economy help refugees along their journey?

Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities.

Join this webinar and hear from experts from UNHCR, Singa Global and NESsT Poland.
