The Co-op Futures Challenge is underway, with 24 student teams across Canada exploring a big question: co-operatives have shown what they can achieve, so why aren’t they a go-to choice for more entrepreneurs and communities?
As we head toward Co-op Week, we’re opening three of the Challenge’s virtual learning sessions to everyone. Each brings a different perspective to that question, and you’re welcome to join one or all three.
Session 3: Why aren't co-operatives talked about more in post-secondary education? What role could education play in changing that? And what could the future of the co-operative sector look like?
Join academics and co-operative leaders for a broader conversation about the Challenge question and the future of co-operatives in Canada.
What might an outside perspective reveal about the future of co-ops? Join an academic and co-operative panel, moderated by Stan Yu, to explore the Challenge question, the role of education, and ways to make the model a more familiar choice.
Business Not as Usual is an ACCA initiative introducing the next generation to the co-operative model. This year’s Co-op Futures Challenge takes that work further: student teams from across Canada are exploring why co-operatives aren’t a mainstream business choice and what could help change that.
