a SUMMER COURSE on
MAKING (IT) WORK!
Action Plans for Local Sustainable Jobs
18th - 24th September 1999
Delft, The Netherlands
What is a local sustainable economy?
What is the Social Economy, or Third System?
How can the Social Economy help create jobs that contribute to sustainability?
The aim of the course is to train young professionals how to use social and financial instruments
for the creation of successful sustainable employment in the Social Economy (or Third System).
The course will address such issues as the creation and development of strategic visions and
concrete working plans, partnerships, support structures, communication tools and funding
mechanisms.
The course participants will explore practical models on how local sustainability initiatives can
be introduced into the mainstream economy. The training is intensive and interactive, and
include lectures, group work, case studies, excursions and discussions. Lecturers are European
experts and local practicioners that participate in the project ‘Developing the Economy from
Within’ (DEW). This project was supported by DG-V - Employment, Industrial Relations and Social
Affairs - of the European Commission, within the framework of the Third System and Employment
programme.
The course aims at young professionals in public and private institutions as well as
non-governmental organisations in charge of local and sustainable development e.g. local
development agencies, facilitators of community initiatives.
The Summer Course is open to participants from EU countries.
