On 15 October the conference 'Economía social en la práctica' ('Practical Social Economy'), organised by Aula Empresocial and funded by the Generalitat Valenciana in collaboration with ESAFOM took place in the 107 classroom of the south lecture room of the Faculty of Economics. This activity, aimed at students and people interested in alternative bussiness models is part of the cycle of entrepreneurship workshops promoted by the Aula.

The conference started at 4:00 p.m. with the talk 'Motivación para emprender en economía social' ('Motivation to be a Social Economy Entrepreneur'), taught by Andrea Rey, Bussiness Management assistant professor. After that, Antonia Sajardo, Applied Economics full professor, taught the talk '¿Qué significa emprender en economía social?' ('What does it mean to be a Social Economy Entrepreneur?'), where she delved in the bases and values of this bussiness model.

From 6:00 p.m. onwards, a pannel discusion took place in which participated Helga Figueroa, CEO of Koira Adiestramiento Canino, and Diego Albizu, secretary of Okambuva, who shared their experiences in the entrepreneurship process in the framework of social economics. The moderator of the panel was Professor Antonia Sajardo.

The event ended with an interactive activity managed by the same professor, where she encouraged the public to reflect on their own interests and possible projects in the framework of social economics.

With this new conference, Aula Empresocial restates its commitment to practical training and the sensibilization around more sustainable, solidary and inclusive entrepreneurship models, all this in collaboration with the Generalitat Valenciana.
