00:03En la ciudad de Bielovo, hombres que experiencian adicción y desigualdad
00:09se ofrecen una oportunidad de reunir la sociedad, aprender nuevas habilidades y entrar en el mercado de trabajo.
00:35La gente que habéis escuchado son parte de esta cooperativa, un ejemplo de lo que se conoce como la economía
00:41social,
00:42empresas que aseguran que todo el mundo en la sociedad encuentra su lugar.
00:46Y como todos enfrentamos el alto costo de vida y la inflación,
00:49¿a este modelo de negocio no es un camino para una economía más resiliente?
00:58El gobierno de Bielovo, Polanyi, en la ciudad de Bielovo,
01:01las vidas se transforman.
01:03El 29-os, Artur Maciejewski, tenía un problema de droga y vivía en las calles.
01:09Ahora aprende a usar el mundo, y no es fácil.
01:11Yo estoy enfermando a la salud, y en general estoy muy preocupado.
01:17Y tengo un poco de manos, porque me da mucho más problemas.
01:23Artur already earned a European Welding Certificate, and he's eager to learn more.
01:39El entrenamiento de Arty Co-operative es apoyado por un proyecto llamado Butterflies from Lower Silesia.
01:45Tiene un budget de 630,000 euros, 70% de lo que es del Consejo Sociale Plus.
01:52The Co-operative often holds group meetings like this to discuss problems, interview newcomers and debate solutions.
02:00Arty has an important social and economic role in town.
02:04It helps men out of addiction and homelessness, trains them and offers services like construction and gardening to local authorities.
02:12A deep Christian faith drives Arty founder Jaroslav Pilecki to give everyone in need a chance to redeem themselves.
02:19In a normal commercial company, they would not have the opportunity to reach themselves.
02:28They would just learn the normality because they would be free.
02:31We are tolerated, we are happy that they have a increase.
02:35And when they are over a few months, they would be full-quality people.
02:39They would not have that in commercial companies.
02:41There are 4,3 million social economy organizations like Arty in Europe, ranging from foundations and charities to associations and
02:50cooperatives.
02:51They represent 11.5 million paid jobs, meaning over 6% of the workforce.
02:57The sector is a sizable contributor to the European economy, but it could be bigger.
03:02Our recent review of the EU's Social Economy Action Plan found that despite significant progress,
03:09the social economy is still lacking recognition and support in a consistent way across the EU.
03:15So what can be done?
03:16One recommendation is to create frameworks to allow social economy enterprises better access to financing and investment.
03:23Here at Rotslav University of Economics and Business, Professor Stanislav Kamiński argues for new legislation too.
03:31We need more coordinated and supportive legal framework in the European Union.
03:37So for example, we need legal status of social enterprise that is clear across the European Union.
03:45We also need to create laws which support social economy organizations, for example, in the public procurement system.
03:55An example of that public procurement in action is underway here in Bielewa,
04:00where this social housing is being completely renovated by the arty cooperative team, including Paweł Snopek.
04:07I can do this.
04:09I can do this.
04:11This is my teaching.
04:12And here I'm preparing for the housing for these things.
04:17So for me it's nice and I'm happy to work with this.
04:25Paweł struggled with addiction and survived a suicide attempt before joining the cooperative.
04:30When I just lost everything, when I didn't have anywhere to do it,
04:35I just got a plan for the cooperation, for the mission and I got here.
04:44Paweł is one of around 3,000 people.
04:47This social economy enterprise has already helped
04:49and the construction of these new apartments and church gives the arty cooperative room to rebuild many more.
