Anecoop seeks solutions to address rural depopulation and improve the perception of agricultural work. The organisation also raises awareness about the importance of education related to agricultural work, especially among the most vulnerable groups such as those with limited digital skills, people at risk of social exclusion, and young people. In addition to this, Anecoop is committed to improving the agrarian culture in Spanish society. 📚🌱 🔍 We asked Nicolas Juste about the approach taken to find these solutions and how joining the #OBCD Spanish ecosystem has helped the organisation improve its work.

Ville Pellinen, CEO of the social enterprise, welcomed Helena Miettinen from Helsinki Business College Ltd. in Lapinlahti’s stunning and unique setting near the centre of Helsinki. Children have taken over the nearby park and are screaming with the joy of running around outside while the sun gilds the leaves of the old trees in the park with its autumn rays. The building, over 180 years old, welcomes the passerby like an open embrace. Everyone is welcome here.   Ville Pellinen and Lapinlahden Lähde Ltd. joined the newly established OBCD project’s Social Enterprise Ecosystem because they want to learn, network and make a difference. They also want to get the latest information on social enterprises and their development.   You can read the full interview at https://en.bc.fi/blog/news/at-the-lapinlahden-lahde/
