• Writing in a positive, audience-focused style
• Providing the information that funders want to know
• Presenting your organization and project in the best possible light
• Presenting maximum information in minimum words

This session explored how co-ops are catalyzing economic development where all else fails -- building local economies and stronger communities in Canada and around the world.

BACKGROUND

In central Bolivia, an oregano co-op has reversed rural out-migration and created new income for more than a thousand families.  In the Philippines, the National Federation of Co-operatives for Persons with Disability unites 16 co-ops that provide employment to over 600 people -- entirely owned and staffed by people with disabilities.  In Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, the 31 independently owned and controlled Inuit and Dene business members of Arctic Co-ops employ over 900 people and establish local control in key economic sectors. 

Building on the International Year of Co-operatives, this webinar shared insights from these three examples of co-operative innovation:  what made them so successful, lessons for CED efforts in any context, and what’s next for co-op development in Canada and the world.

SPEAKERS

• Gretchen Hernandez, Simon Fraser University
• Jason Frittaion, Canadian Co-operative Association
• Sherry Hennessey, Arctic Co-operatives Limited

WEBINAR RECORDING

This session, part of the Canadian CED Network’s International Committee webinar series, is made possible in partnership with Uniterra

On December 7, 2012, The European Union Knowledge Network's (EUKN) 5th annual conference will take place in Essen, Germany. The conference will be organised in close co-operation with the Ruhr Regional Association and the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

The EUKN conference is built around an interactive exchange on citizen participation in shrinking urban areas. To overcome the consequences of shrinkage, joint action is needed. Local authorities need to co-operate with citizens to find ways to maintain the quality of life in their city or town.

EUKN will present innovative examples of citizen participation with regard to their daily life in shrinking areas: health, education, employment, mobility, shopping and sports. Interactive on-site debates are an important part of the conference. They provide a deeper insight in successful policy approaches and offer insight into participatory process facilitated by local authorities.
