L'#𝗲́𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲 du futur, portée par les acteurs internationaux, s'affirme à #𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘅 ! 🌍

10 000 participantes et participants, 100 pays représentés, 13 plénières, 169 tables rondes : les chiffres de cette 7e édition du Forum mondial de l'Economie sociale et solidaire montrent bien le changement d'échelle de l'#ESS.

Cet événement mondial s’achève aujourd’hui. Il est revigorant et porteur d’espoir car il témoigne de la maturité de l’ESS et de l’énergie collective déployée au service du bien commun et de l’utilité sociale territoriale.

Plus que jamais, je suis convaincu que nous arrivons à un moment ESS qui sera nécessaire pour nos sociétés. Face aux urgences climatiques, aux nouvelles fractures sociales, aux tensions démocratiques, aux ruptures territoriales et aux angoisses personnelles, transformer n’est plus une option. Et nous savons qu’il n’y aura de transition réussie que si elle est juste et équitable.

Équité, justice sociale : autant de valeurs au cœur de la thématique " Et si davantage de démocratie dans l'économie était la solution ? " sur laquelle j'ai eu le plaisir d'échanger lors d'une table ronde aux côtés de @jsaddierESS, Matthew Brown, Sarah McKinley et Joseph Njuguna @jmnjuguna64, animée par @tduverger. Ces échanges ont été l’occasion de rappeler que la #santé constitue un véritable investissement pour nos sociétés, qu’elle se situe au centre des enjeux de citoyenneté, en particulier dans nos territoires, et que le @Groupe_VYV se bat au quotidien pour rendre la santé, 1er des droits de l’homme, accessible à toutes et tous.

Fier que notre groupe ait soutenu ce rendez-vous majeur qu’est le #GSEF2025 en étant partenaire officiel. Merci aux organisateurs, à nos élus et collaborateurs pleinement mobilisés pour faire de notre participation une réussite et aux nombreux acteurs rencontrés pour la qualité de nos échanges.

As the UN International Year of Cooperatives concludes at #SocialSummit2025, we recognize a year of impact.

They've proven their vital role in eradicating poverty and advancing the #GlobalGoals.

Now it's time to turn this momentum into policy.

Profit alone isn’t enough. True progress balances social justice, inclusion, & sustainability.

Cooperatives show that a balanced approach leads to stronger, more resilient communities.
