RESPONDET aims to improve the capacity of local and regional policy-makers, public administration, social economy and civil society to jointly develop (policy) initiatives which would strengthen social economy-driven community management of resources. The latter is considered a main element of (socially) sustainable green transition processes and a fundament for the resilience of local communities. The initiative will focus specifically on social economy-based local energy community initiatives as well as the circular economy.

Deliverables (examples):

• 4 seminars bringing together local and regional authorities, social economy, civil society and other stakeholders;
• 4 local/regional action plans: Action Plan Catalonia; Action Plan Wallonia; Action Plan Torino; Action Plan Malopolska Region
• Policy recommendations
• European Policy Lab
• European webinar
• Final publication
• Interviews with Policy-makers: Guido Bolatto (Chamber of Commerce Turin); Chiara Foglietta (City of Turin); Frédéric Rasson (SPW Wallonia); Ricardo Rio (Committee of the Regions of the EU); Juli Silvestre (Generalitat de Catalunya);  Lukasz Smolka (Voivodeship of Malopolska)
