Born from a suggestion made at the 4th Forum on Globalisation of Solidarity Lux09, in April 2009 by founding members of ALOE, Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and Solidarity Economy, Solecopedia is an initiative that is complementary to other communication tools and processes aimed at supporting a new emerging economy, based on greater solidarity and sustainability, such as resource Web sites and mapping of existing initiatives.
The main purpose of Solecopedia is to establish a dialogue between actors, researchers of different countries, cultures and sectors, on practices and concepts, to help make a sustainable and solidarity-based economy more visible by bringing economic, social and ecological notions together, and showing the coherence of its pratices and associated theories.
