Co-operative conference examining education and sustainability

Hopefully, you are all aware that 2012 is the UN International Year of Co-operatives and we intend to be part of the celebrations.

However, there is a feeling in the UK that we need to ensure that we create some legacy from these events.

To that end, CETS, The Co-operative Group Membership (Grampian) and the University of Aberdeen have decided to look to the basic co-operative principles of self help and self responsibility and organize an event to highlight co-operatives as an inherently more sustainable model of enterprise but also how co-operatives live up to their values and principles by supporting the wider sustainability agenda.

See the attached programmes for 2 inspirational days on how to use co-operative options as a route to a more sustainable economy and society.
