About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

The United Nations has recognized the power and potential of cooperatives as a tool for economic power by declaring 2025 the International Year of Cooperatives. In this session we'll discover international co-op approaches that could strengthen and transform the way we create cooperatives here in the United States, and right at home in Austin.


In Particular, we will Consider:

  • Social Co-ops like those in South Korea
  • Co-op Networks like Mondragon in Spain
  • How coffee and cocoa farming has been transformed through cooperatives
  • Trends and Opportunities from the International Cooperative Movement


Class attendees will have the opportunity to schedule FREE coaching and consulting with the instructor and other co-op experts.
