Programme

 

Join us for an engaging two-day event designed to connect, strategise, and innovate within the cooperative movement.

While 1 June is dedicated to our Board Meeting (board only), the second day opens its doors wide to welcome both our members and the public.  The morning is reserved for our crucial General Assembly and elections. Then, the afternoon transitions into a vibrant, fully youth-led conference focused on developing Innovative Cooperative Solutions to both internal and external challenges. We’ll explore vital internal priorities such as fostering intergenerational learning, boosting youth engagement, embracing experiential learning, and valuing shared experiences. Externally, the focus shifts to forging stronger connections between EU and non-EU cooperatives and crafting cooperative responses to pressing societal shifts like digitalisation, the housing crisis, and climate change.

The whole event takes place in Spice Hotel (Belek, İskele Mevkii, 07506 Serik/Antalya, Türkiye)
