Jean-Yves Abasq - France

I live in Vitry (94), a close suburb of Paris (France).

Among my numerous activities, I am involved in an organization of mutual exchange knowledge.

I am a member of the Local Social Forum (LSF), resulting from the French European Social Forum, of my township. I am member of the coordination committee and I facilitate the commission social and solidarity economy of the LSF.

I am currently training in "management of social and cultural undertakings."

I participate in the work of the group "Vision of a socioeconomy of solidarity" and the group "social money" on the Web site of the WSSE of the Allies. I initiated a discussion on the theme: "How, with actors in economy of solidarity, to succeed in setting up networks that are sufficiently structured and organized from the global to the local level to represent a true alternative to the present neoliberal economy".
