From Paris to Montreal: Where do we go from here? With the theme, “Act Now to lead a circular and digital future the cooperators way,” the Montreal event will focus on taking the lessons from Paris and turning them into action. So, let’s be circular, in a digital life to carry out together the necessary transformations for the benefit of our members and our communities, in the manner of cooperatives. Are we ready to pledge?
Together we lead is exemplified through the cooperative superpower principle #6, Cooperation among cooperatives. Many global cooperatives extend their reach and create bigger impacts with their combined knowledge and shared expertise, and cooperatives of all sizes inter-cooperate to reinforce their ability to make social and economic changes. However, the true potential for cooperative transformation to address global issues has not been realized. This theme will define, exemplify, and explore a diverse range of inter-cooperation among cooperatives and beyond, taking particular interest in how leading organizations cooperate and collaborate with each other to collectively achieve their respective goals and move us all toward a cooperative economy and society. What does principal #6 “cooperation among cooperatives” really mean?
