Young School of Social and Circular Economy of Extremadura (EJESEC)
About this good practice
The primary goal is to promote a virtual school to train, inform and raise awareness about the Social Economy, cooperativism, green and circular economy. Educate young people from Extremadura who are interested in these fields in MOOC format. Create a free, public and online service and open 24/7. Finally, and most importantly, train the youth of Extremadura in key skills for employment.
EJESEC began in 2021 as an online training system for young people of Extremadura.
Currently, the following courses have been held:
1. Social, circular and zero waste economy: To achieve a decarbonized society that is committed to a new waste management model, highlighting the environmental benefits, economic and social aspects of Green Public Procurement.
2. Entrepreneurship in Social Economy: To generate transformative social entrepreneurship ecosystems in their own organization or by applying it to their entrepreneurial project.
3. Entrepreneurship in Social Economy: To constitute an entrepreneurial project based on one of the most demanded legal forms of the social economy, as Labor Societies, and other typologies such as special employment centers.
4. Entrepreneurship in Social Economy: To generate entrepreneurial projects in sectors linked to the Fourth Industrial Revolution with the different types of cooperatives.
5. Energy Communities in a Cooperative Regime: To make known-how energy communities are formed in Extremadura.
Resources needed
Funded by/Sponsors: Regional Government of Extremadura
Funding/financial resources needed: 33,000 euros at the moment, production is financed by courses carried out (currently 5).
Human resources needed: 3 full-time employees from design and development phase until the delivery of each course.
Evidence of success
So far, in the 5 MOOCs that have been carried out, there have been 337 young participants, who have obtained a qualification and an improvement for their training in the social economy.
Potential for learning or transfer
Why it is considered being potentially interesting for other regions to learn from:
Organizing training events in rural areas with dispersed localities and low population density is complicated, makes it difficult for attendees to attend and its economic cost is high.
EJESEC has demonstrated that at a moderate price, online MOOC training courses can be effective and reach all locations in the region, facilitating the training of any group in rural areas.
EJESEC is a very useful tool to increase the visibility of social economy organizations and to train young people in the field.
