THANK YOU FOR JOINING THE FEBRUARY #ROADMAP
The ‘Digital Road to Mannheim’ consists of 8 fully digitized online events. Each roadmap event focusses on a specific topic and aims to connect different Social Economy actors in Europe in a highly interactive format, present best practices and use cases as well as provide first-hand insights in interactive sessions from changemakers all around Europe. The ‘Digital Road to Mannheim’ strengthen the social economy in Europe and harness its contribution to economic development, social inclusion as well as green and digital transitions.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Climate change and environmental degradation are an existential threat to Europe and the world. To overcome these challenges, Europe needs the strength, creativity, hearts and minds of the Social Economy to transform the Union into a modern and resource-efficient economy. President Ursula von der Leyen said: “We are acting today to make the EU the world’s first climate neutral continent by 2050.”
With our #RoadtoMannheim event on “Social Economy in time of environmental and climate change challenges” we turn climate and environmental challenges into opportunities and help to make the ecological transition just and inclusive for all.
