CREASSE aims to increase the socio-occupational participation of adults at risk of exclusion due to socio-economic difficulties by stimulating their creativity and participation through inclusive training and education, in order to develop social and solidarity economy (SSE) activities as a transformative force that can bring systemic and positive change in rural areas.

CREASSE supports forward-looking ideas based on key EU priorities that can integrate communities and contribute to their well-being, in which the different actors of the social and solidarity economy play a key role, as they are the reference for future aspiring collective entrepreneurs.

Main goals:

• Encouraging the development of social and solidarity economy measures as a way of promoting the socio-economic integration of people at risk of social exclusion and rural communities.
• Raising awareness of the benefits and usefulness of the social and solidarity economy.
• Engaging the social and solidarity economy ecosystem to promote the development of rural communities.
• Equipping adult learning professionals with the tools and competences to provide effective guidance.
• Empowering people at risk of social exclusion to develop collective initiatives.
