Speakers from Belgium and France will share their expertise and best practices on the uptake and impacts of digital technologies in social economy enterprises in their respective national context. The Belgian contribution will highlight the effects of digitalisation on employment, work organisation and on the nature and quality of services.

Description
Learn to network & improve collaboration with Working Out Loud In times of digitalisation, digital skills such as the use of digital tools and media, networking skills, collaboration and communication as well as self-driven learning skills in the virtual space are more important than ever. Working Out Loud, (WOL) stands for networked collaboration and communication in digital space (on the intranet or internet, e.g. via social media platforms). The effective use of such platforms and networking with diverse experts on a personal level in order to learn from and with each other and to exchange information can be learned very easily with the help of the WOL circle method. Learn more about the concept of Working Out Loud and how e.g. organizations, start-ups & entrepreneurs use the method to make employees & themselves fit(er) for the digital age. Experience in an interactive workshop with practical exercises, why so many people around the world work out loud.

Description
Digitalisation is very much affecting the quality of work and the health of workers. Even more workers are losing their rights because very often they are not any more protected by a standard employment contract. Digital platforms will replace work with compulsory social insurance coverage with new, insecure forms of employment. The future development will depend above all on whether platforms engage in unfair competition with regulated services by systematically circumventing applicable quality standards and rules governing the protection of workers and consumers, or even liabilities for tax and social security contributions. The key question is to what extent platforms are exploiting legal grey areas regarding the status of workers in order to cut costs and thereby gain a competitive advantage over existing companies. However, new and innovative business models which are currently emerging in form of social economy enterprises to run digital platforms. So they can produce important economic and social benefits. The crucial question is what those platform-based business models could look like – whether commercial or, for example, co-operative-based.
