- **Event Description**: On the World Day of Social Justice, join international leaders to explore the role of the social economy.About this EventThis public event, promoted by the Chamber of Commerce of Turin, Torino Social Impact and the International Training Centre of the ILO, brings together institutional leaders, policymakers and leading experts to explore the social economy as a strategic lever for inclusive, sustainable and people-centred development.The discussion unfolds at a pivotal moment for Italy and Europe. While the social economy is gaining momentum through the National Action Plan for the Social Economy and consolidated EU and global policies, it must also navigate growing uncertainty driven by evolving geopolitical and strategic priorities within the European Union.The event will deepen understanding of the role of the social economy as a strategic driver for integrating competitiveness and will highlight recent work by the Global Coalition for Social Justice on the role of the Social and Solidarity Economy in advancing a Human Rights Economy. It will explore how the social economy, at a time when democratic identity and core values are under pressure and political systems are increasingly polarized by the dominance of power over cooperative approaches, offers principles and models that serve as pillars for reinforcing, practicing, and promoting civic and democratic values.Join us on February 20 at the Aula Magna Cavallerizza Reale, University of Turin, with keynote contributions from:Lucia Albano, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and FinanceJuan Antonio Pedreño, President of Social Economy EuropeMario Nava, Director-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, European CommissionLamia Kamal-Chaoui, Director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities, OECDSilvia Roggiani, Member of the of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian ParliamentOlivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rightsSimel Esim, Head of the Cooperative, Social and Solidarity Economy Unit, International Labour Organization and Chair of the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity EconomyAicha Belassir, Director-General for Social Economy and Corporate Social Responsibility Ministry of Labour and Social Economy, Government of SpainMario Calderini, Professor at Politecnico di Milano and Spokesperson for Torino Social ImpactGianluca Salvatori, Secretary General of EURICSESarah de Heusch, Director of Social Economy EuropePaola Babos, Deputy Director of the ITCILO…and many other leading experts.Privacy notice pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR)The processing of personal data is carried out by the Association Torino per la Finanza e l’Innovazione Sociale, with registered office at Via Carlo Alberto 16, Tax Code 97781920018, acting as Data Controller.The data collected will be used for the purpose of registering for the meeting.

translate global normative frameworks into national and local results. Particular attention is

will show how the social economy acts as a driver of resilient and inclusive growth.?: 11:45 AMSEE as a strategic driver for promoting inclusion and democratic valuesInfo: The panel will explore how the SEE, in a time when democratic identity and its core values
