Do you know a member who would benefit from co-operative learning, it could be you, and could share that learning with members and the wider community? The Party has got together with Stir to Action as we both believe that a different economy is possible, and we are working to make it a reality. Last year the Co-operative Party commissioned the New Economics Foundation (NEF) to write Co-operatives Unleashed, an independent report that sets out a routemap to ‘double the size of the co-operative economy in the UK.’ The Co-operative Party are offering 10 fully-funded places on Stir to Action’s New Economy Programme, which includes workshops in London, Bristol, and Oxford to provide more people with the chance to put their values into action. The course is free, the member will have to make their way there. Members will need to look at each of the courses to see which they would like to book on. What’s on the programme?
