Social Economy. A Human Cause
The project "Social Economy. A Human Cause" is implemented by the Cooperation Fund Foundation in partnership with WALK, and co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for Social Development (EFSD) programme.
Its goal is to increase the recognition of the social economy and consumer awareness through a nationwide campaign aimed, among others, at young people, adults, entrepreneurs, local government units, and social economy entities.
Strategic, creative, educational, and communication activities — including digital and social media campaigns, events, and the production of audio-video materials — aim to reach more than 3 million people, increase knowledge of and a positive image of the social economy among 1 million recipients, and contribute to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the number of people declaring that their consumer choices are guided by a connection to the social economy.
The project will also produce a recognisable social economy brand, a communication strategy, a visual identity, and four research reports to monitor the effectiveness of the campaign.
The project is implemented under the European Funds for Social Development 2021–2027 programme, co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus.
