Centre Ressources pédagogiques à l'Economie de la Fonctionnalité et Coopération
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Confronted with the limits of the current economic model, several new approaches toward a more sustainable economic development are emerging : industrial ecology, circular economy, collaborative consumerism, functional economy The functional and cooperative economy model (FCE) appears today as the one that offers the greatest coherent prospects taking into consideration what is at stake regarding sustainable development and the most complete in terms of integration of social, environmental, economic, and governance dimensions. It is however complex and difficult to grasp with the mindset associated with the usual economic system . This economic model is still quite recent and as such requires from both the executives , management and consultants of any given firm to master its new concepts, its new thought processes, its real economic and societal impacts to be in a position to propose the necessary innovations that will lead to a new economic model integrating at the core of a firm’s strategy what is at stake in sustainable development Consequently, in this project we propose to conceive and create pedagogical tool kit aiming at instilling awareness & the discovery of the functional and cooperative economy, for consultants, SMEs owners & executives , professional organizations, labor unions and of Agenda 21, of sustainable economic development of local & territorial European entities/communities managers. The CREPE-EFC partnership comprises the following research and intervention entities : Atemis- France, Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini- Italy, study council & consulting firms specializing in sustainable development: Ecores-Belgium and Dinamia-Spain. All the partners interact with firms and terrritories to improve their economic, social and environmental performances. A pedagogical tool kit to foster awareness to EFC in order to develop consultants CSR/SD professional skills and habilities of this new economic model, which shall comprise : - an animated film to develop wide ranging awareness to this new model -Theoretical document on the new CFE model -To illustrate the theoretical document, videos on case study of 6 companies already engaged & practicing the CFE - to solidify, focus on certain key concepts of the CFE : In the form of short video clips - To start acting on one’s own territory, a list of CFE resources will permit the partners to identify available resources and ones to be developped to set CFE in motion on one’s territory. -All these pedagogical resources will be available free of charge on the european pedagogical resource center (website) and accessible In French,Spanish, Italian, Catalan & English Once the knowledge transfered to consultants, economic agents, (companies, agents of social & sharing economy, professional organizations, labor unions, consular agencies), public agents (local & regional entities), at the national & european level will be in a position to both develop the model within SME and at the same time contribute to give to the CFE model, the european dimension necessary to its deployment -To create a european community of researchers/consultants in the functional and cooperative economy to develop in their sphere of activity, many territorial dynamics engaged in CFE, subsequently these consultants will be in a position to become members of the EFC European Institute, devoted to the professionalisation & exchanges on the CFE
