After the end of a mixed European summer, attention is now starting to focus on the European Elections taking place in June 2024! Join host Toby Gazeley on this episode of The Social Economist to hear why these European Elections are so crucial and why they matter for the social economy. Toby of course doesn't attempt this task alone and is joined by his co-host Marcela Neves from Euclid Network and a special guest, Malo Bourel from ImpactFrance.
European politics isn't always the most well understood topic and sometimes people may find it not even the most interesting. But now, at the end of 2023 as Europe moves towards the next European Elections, there's more on the ballot for the social economy than ever before. The implementation of the Social Economy Action Plan, the achievement of the Green Deal and the delivery of an inclusive European economy of tomorrow are all at stake. Malo takes us through the work ImpactFrance are doing to bring together the ecosystem to raise the voice of impact driven companies to make sure these current plans are delivered. You want to get involved in this impact movement? Reach out to Malo at: mbourel@impactfrance.eco.
Of course at The Social Economist, we wouldn't want to leave you without podcast recommendations! Malo has a recommendation for our French speaking listeners: Greenletter Club. Marcela also had another suggestion for our English speaking listeners: Drum Tower. Toby also shared one podcast he's been getting into recently and if you're a fan of the US version of the Office, you may love it too: Office Ladies.
