Young people from all over Africa gathered at the Forum. Among them, 11 countries were mobilized to take part in the Caravan’ESS, mobilizing nearly 200 young people for the event. They joined the Youth & SSE Pre-Forum showcasing <\/span>the challenges and principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy with and for young people, before continuing the adventure through the rest of the program to take part in plenary debates,<\/span> experience-sharing workshops, job fairs and social entrepreneurship fairs. This caravan of West African youth is organized to promote the integration of united peoples. How can we promote the initiatives of young people who are building the future of the SSE, in order to inspire and share the entrepreneurial know-how of young people in the SSE? How can we give young people a privileged place in the design, implementation and decision-making processes of development agencies? After GSEF2023, how can we create a framework for consultation and showcasing the work of young SSE stakeholders? How can we make this Forum the turning point for a fairer, more sustainable global economy, with and for the younger generation?<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How did the idea for the Caravan’ESS come about? <\/b><\/h3>\n

The organization of the Caravan’ESS is one of the special events leading up to the forum itself. It is a pretext for demonstrating the importance of hybridization and the diversity of actors in the social and solidarity economy. In this respect, many young West African caravanners, through the activities of the Youth & SSE pre-Forum, have been able to promote the integration of peoples in solidarity. It has proved to be an opportunity to integrate responses for the inclusion of young people from here and elsewhere in a Marketplace format (discovery, business, employment and social and solidarity-based entrepreneurship…).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Caravan’ESS was a journey. Young people from various West African countries made their way to Dakar to join the Forum.<\/span><\/p>\n

In spirit, the Caravan’ESS is more than just a trip. It’s a time for reunions, an expression of solidarity between African citizens who are geographically different, but humanly close. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
