Two models of social cooperatives (western and eastern) in comparison.
SCEW project (Social
Cooperatives East-West) was a transnational cooperation project, focusing on
the following priority objective: “ to promote the exchange of information and
good practice aimed at creating favourable conditions for the setting up of
information, consultation and participation structures within undertakings as
foreseen in Directive 2002 / 14 / EC.”
The main goal of the
project was to support and foster the development and the exchange of good
practices in force across Europe concerning information, consultation and
participation structures settled within undertakings, focusing especially on
associations of Social Co-operatives and with the participation of their
European umbrella federation.
In order to do so, we
observed and analyzed the opportunity of social enterprises and cooperatives in
developing innovative and efficient structures for the information,
consultation and participation of workers within these undertakings. The focus
will be done on the comparison between social enterprises and cooperatives from
Eastern and central Europe and from Western Europe.
