There are many good post secondary cooperative education programmes across the country from British Columbia and Saskatchewan to Ontario and Quebec. And the Canadian Association for Cooperative Education (http://www.cafce.ca/en/home) brings together all these post secondary institutions to work together in developing resources to promote better quality of post-secondary cooperative education. Quite inspiring really.

Bello sentire da te qui. Ho visto il sito http://www.generazioni.coop e anche ho letto l’articolo che hai condiviso da Legacoop on vuoi participazioni a Manchester.)
Hi Roberto, good to hear from you. I visited the website and read the article you shared regarding the participation of young cooperators from Emiglia Romania in Cooperatives United in Manchester. I think the sentiments shared in the site and in the article regarding youth wanting to be a part of an environmentally, socially and economically more responsible world order resonate across the Mediterranean and the world. The principles of independence, autonomy and democracy enshrined in cooperative enterprises can provide a good match for such aspirations. At the same time cooperatives can provide young women and men with the advantages of economies of scale and strength of collective voice to overcome the challenges of youth unemployment and limitations to their participation in the public realm. The dynamism and innovation of young cooperators can in turn help the international cooperative movement become more energized. It is a win-win scenario really. We need to get cooperative education integrated into education systems, formal and informal, across countries of the world. And needless to say we need more young cooperative champions like you. Avanti giovani cooperatori!

Your aticle is very inspiring. I shared it with many collegues on our youth co-operatives entrepreneurs network http://www.generazioni.coop

E visto che parli meglio di me italiano, ecco l’articolo che abbiamo fatto noi! (in realtà è un comunicato stampa, più tardi ti invio il racconto più emotivo!)
