Building Bridges - Pour réussir ensemble
2015 Conference of the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation & CoopZone In collaboration with the Quebec Worker Coop Network (“RESEAU”)
Through this theme we plan to share experiences and learnings across borders, across co-ops, with other partners: for example between and among people from Québec, from the rest of Canada, and from other countries. What do worker co-ops in each of Quebec, Canada & the USA have in common? What is unique and strong within each region; what can be improved? We’ll explore the latest advances in co-op development in various different places with a goal of strengthening us all.
We will feature networking opportunities for participants, both organized networking sessions, and informal time and space. As always, there will be many training workshops of practical interest to worker co-operators, co-op developers, and worker co-op entrepreneurs, i.e., those wishing to start a new worker co-op.
Many of the topics covered will be done in light of the theme of Building Bridges :
- Between different generations in the co-operative
- Among federations and other partner organizations
- Between and among co-operatives.
Featured speakers include keynote Esteban Kelly, the new Co-Executive Director of the US Federation of Worker Co-operatives, and a member of a worker co-operative in France, SCOP- Accolades, which does training and development for participatory governance.
