Akademie für Social Entrepreneurship: Zero Poverty

Speaker: Matthew Baqueriza-Jackson
Time: Tuesday, 01.02.2021 from 12:30 – 13:30h
Place: Online via Zoom
Language: English

Local wealth means more than economic prosperity in cities. By adding social value to public procurement practices, money recirculates among empowered and collaborative communities, labour opportunities and conditions are improved, and the carbon footprint would be reduced. What strategies could be adopted to reach these outcomes? This workshop will revise key activities, tools and actors for understanding strategic procurement as an opportunity for the generation of local wealth rather than a technical bureaucratic process based mainly on monetary criteria.

Matthew Baqueriza-Jackson is an expert on strategic procurement with more than 12 years of experience in the field. He is currently an independent policy advisor, chair of the Greater Manchester Social Value Network (GMSVN) and representative of URBACT in the EU Urban Agenda Partnership on Responsible and Innovative Public Procurement. He is also a former Deputy Chief Executive of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and helped to devise the Community Wealth Building agenda in the United Kingdom context.

Community, collaboration, cooperation, co-production - four “co”-words that drive transformation. As opposed to the traditional economic model, strategies involving plural ownership and cooperatives lead to alternative ways for generating shared wealth. What is required for this type of economic transformation? How can cooperative models address current challenges for a sustainable future? By discussing theoretical and practical matters, this workshop offers a look into the forms of organization, strategies, and stakeholders necessary for building community-based solutions in a present that demands climate and economic justice.

Global challenges can be withstood and resisted by strong empowered communities. As an alternative to the dominant economic model, Community Wealth Building seeks to hold, share and democratize wealth within local contexts. What strategies and practical tools underpin this approach? This workshop offers a general understanding of the approach, as well as a review of successful examples in the United Kingdom.

Our input givers Eleanor Radcliffe and Oliver Seabarron work at the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES). Based on the United Kingdom, CLES is a think and do tank that works for progressing economic interventions and ideas that lead to social justice and effective public services. Their experience in the implementation of Community Wealth Building strategies can be inspiring for other places that want to alleviate poverty thinking „out of the box“!
