Scaling existing cooperative solutions through effective partnerships for community wealth building strategies
As the cost of living crisis bites, the deep inequalities in our society are increasingly plain to see. The need for a different approach – that builds inclusive economies and social and economic justice – has never been clearer or more urgent. This conference will show that effective cooperative solutions already exist, built on sound values and principles, and that through wider cooperation – across communities and social movements, between public, private and third sectors – we can scale these out widely and quickly.
Effective partnerships between local and city-region authorities – especially those pursuing community wealth-building strategies – cooperative development practitioners, and local communities, offer rich opportunities to grow thriving cooperative economies that are inclusive and sustainable. This is a must-attend conference for officers and elected members who have an interest in learning more about the practical solutions that already exist, and a desire to take action in their localities.
