Think Co-operatively, Learn Collectively

The context for the event is a growing aspiration for the
achievement of collective well-being, both for present and future
generations. This is especially evident in Wales, but it is
relevant globally.
Within this aspiration, there is an expectation that ordinary
people will play a crucial voluntary role as “co-producers” of
better services and communities, sharing power amongst themselves
and working alongside professionals as valued contributors. But
engaging citizens and communities in collective, long-term action
is not something that just happens by wishing for it, or even
legally constituting for it. It takes constant thought and
attention.
It can be done, but what are the challenges and solutions? And
what are the best ways of learning about them?
Think Co-operatively, Learn Collectively
The 8th September event is seeking to bring together activists
from the fields of community development, adult learning and
co-operatives to explore these questions together. There will be a
few opening presentations from each field, but the event is
designed for maximum participation and shared learning.
It will be a safe and co-operatively facilitated place, where
participants can learn, share and network with people on similar
journeys of discovery.
