From 15 to 17 March 2019, transforming communication and the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) will meet in Barcelona in the third edition of #comun_ESS, the meeting dedicated to creating, facilitating and expanding collective communication tools and strategies at the service of SSE and social transformation. Organized by the Xarxa de Economia Solidària and REAS Red de Redes, these dates will serve to meet again and continue reflecting and building a new communicative paradigm that reflects the values of the SSE and allows us to expand our reach, our public and our practices. All the info will soon be available on the comunicarestransformar.net website, where previous editions can also be consulted.

Under the slogan "Let them talk about us", this edition of the meeting will include training, conferences, round tables and practical workshops from which to explore new tasks, resources and strategies for building a communication in favor of social transformation. Initiatives and projects from all over Spain will be present, as well as people responsible for the communication of the different SSE initiatives.

To collectively build the meeting, we invite interested people to respond to this form or contact comunicacio@xes.cat. During the month of January, a call will be opened for interested organizations to submit proposals for workshops and other content.

The aim of this conference is to bring together economic and political sociology in order to better understand the dynamics of citizen participation. From associations to
participatory mechanisms, from informal collectives to cooperatives, from self-help networks to self-management, this symposium will seek to question in concert the conditions
the economic stakes of democratization processes and the modalities of democratization of the economy, ranging from citizen experiments to public policies to promote a more solidarity-based and local economy.
