ISSE game

The game

Acting as entities of the Social and Solidarity Economy, the players will have to make decisions that will have consequences for the organisational and functional day-to-day of the entity. Designed to promote knowledge of the SSE on a large scale, the game is an economic simulation in which players will have to achieve a final goal by managing capital, creating a company or managing their domestic economy.

ISSE game is presented in 2 possible formats:

• An online game that you can play for free by pressing the button below.
• A Workshop dynamized by Nexes, in which an expert in SSE and with experience facilitating the game will come to your centre to facilitate the game and make a subsequent reflection.

ISSE game is part of the cooperation project “Initiatives for a Social and Solidarity Economy (ICE) – Community Works”.

But what is a Social and Solidarity Economy?

The concept of Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) encompasses a set of entities organised in the form of cooperatives, associations or foundations, in which the internal functioning and the activities they promote have as a common denominator the principle of solidarity and social utility.

These entities adopt models of democratic and participatory management. The benefits obtained are strictly regulated: the gain cannot be individual but is reinvested in the entity.

Objectives

• Develop competencies for sustainable economic management (whether business or domestic) in line with the SSE principles (social and environmental responsibility, decent and quality work, democracy and transparency).
• Identify the principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy and discover how to promote it through concrete actions.
