Meet co-ops and mutual-aid groups in one room
RIPESS Europe members and allies run local fairs where worker co-ops, time banks, and fair-trade producers share stalls, workshops, and signup sheets.
When & where
- Seasonal fairs across Brussels and partner cities; check RIPESS Europe news for dates
- Approximate pin: 50.8450, 4.3500 (Brussels solidarity economy hub)
How to participate
- Visit stalls with a notebook: note three groups you could volunteer with or buy from
- Join short workshops on cooperative statutes or time-credit onboarding
- Sign up for a follow-up orientation with the group that fits your skills
Why it matters
Fairs turn abstract "solidarity economy" language into faces, samples, and membership forms you can act on the same day.
