SUMMARY:Worker Cooperatives and Trade Unions: Exploring relations in the Asia-Pacific Region
DESCRIPTION:CICOPA invites to you join its upcoming webinar in collaboration with CICOPA Asia-Pacific on the 28 September 2022.   \nThe collaboration between worker cooperatives and trade unions is a topic of great interest for CICOPA and its members.

SUMMARY:International Day of Cooperatives
DESCRIPTION:On July 2\, cooperatives all around the world will celebrate the 100th International Day of Cooperatives (#CoopsDay). A decade on from the UN International Year of Cooperatives\, which showcased the unique contribution of cooperatives to making the world a better place\, this year’s #CoopsDay slogan —“Cooperatives Build a Better World”— echoes the theme of the International Year. \n“Cooperatives are answering the wake-up call of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres\, who warned that the world is ‘on the edge of an abyss — and moving in the wrong direction’\, and exclaimed that ‘to restore trust\, and inspire hope\, we need cooperation\, we need dialogue\, we need understanding’. For nearly two centuries\, cooperatives have been pulling in this direction. This was amply highlighted at the 33rd World Cooperative Congress\, held by the International Cooperative Alliance in December 2021\, which focused a spotlight on how their shared identity is moving cooperatives to take action to address the world’s problems” declared Bruno Roelants\, Director General of the ICA.
