Roundtable - a: Institutional Dialogue between SSE and political parties

What is the relationship today between Social Solidarity Economy actors and the political landscape? Where do old and new political parties stand with regards to alternative economic approaches and practices and their promotion? How is the European Parliament moving, beyond the social business and green economy approach? Is it possible to create new spaces of political dialogue between political institutions and grassroots solidarity economy networks and initiatives to promote the development of SSE both at the European and at the local level? What is already being done and what should be in the near future?
