Who we are
A collective process, not just an event
The FSMET seeks to connect experiences of social, solidarity, popular, community, peasant, indigenous, cooperative, agroecological, care and ethical-finance economies. The problem is not a lack of alternatives: it is that many remain isolated.
The idea is to build a global minga: a gathering where grassroots organizations, territories, movements, communities and institutions converge. The process begins before the main gathering and continues afterwards.
“From project to ecosystem.”
Organization responsible for the preparation: Movimiento Hacia Otra Economía, Social Solidaria Popular Campesino Indígena, Afrodescendiente. A governance team for the process is being formed.

What is a transformative economy?
A broad term covering social and solidarity economy, popular economy, cooperativism, community production, agroecology, food sovereignty, care systems, ethical finance, short supply chains and other practices that put life and territory at the center.
