Local Workshops – Europe

As part of the DO Impact programme, one in-person workshop will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on 25 November 2025, as well as 7 online sessions, organised by the DIESIS Network. 

These sessions are tailored to Social Economy SMEs interested in enhancing their digital and data-driven capacities through practical learning and peer exchange with a European focus. They will be held primarily in English.  

Each workshop will address a specific topic relevant to the digital transition of the Social Economy ecosystem, combining theoretical insights with interactive and experience-sharing sessions.
