Description

The game Solidarisk aims to raise awareness of business creation and the social and solidarity economy through the CIGALES (Club d'Investisseurs pour une Gestion Alternative et Locale de l'Épargne Solidaire) venture capital investment club. During the game, each team (from 2 to 4 people) plays the role of members of a CIGALES club that will decide whether or not to support the business projects submitted to them. Companies created or supported will be faced with the various hazards of the economic world (crisis, unemployment, competition, innovation, regulation etc.), which will spark debate between all players and require choices from them.

All aspects of the economic life of a company are thus brushed aside in a fun way and can be the means for the entrepreneur to rebound, develop and bring knowledge to the players.

The game is based on real business projects.

The game Solidarisk was created in 1999 by the Fédération des CIGALES on the initiative of AESOPUS, a European program, and has been reissued in partnership with the University of Poitiers.
