TIME for a CHANGE: Time for Cooperatives ...


TIME to CHANGE | Cooperatives work together for the good of all members and the communities where they are based. Their values and beliefs are very different than the ones from big corporations or large transnationals. This short video is only the beginning and tells you a brief story about what cooperatives are and were cooperatives & social enterprises intersect. Produced by Cooperatives for a Better World © | https://youtu.be/Xty1NcnYT4Q ... 

cooperative (a.k.a. co-operativeco-op, or coop) is "an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs|aspirations through a jointly-owned & democratically-controlled enterprise". 

Cooperatives may include: Businesses owned and managed by the people who use their services (a consumer cooperative); Organizations managed by the people who work there (worker cooperative); a Multi-stakeholder or hybrid cooperatives that share ownership between different stakeholder groups. For example, Care Cooperatives where ownership is shared between both care-givers and receivers. Stakeholders might also include non-profits or investors; Second- and Third-tier cooperatives whose members are other cooperatives, and; Platform Cooperatives that use a cooperatively-owned and governed website, mobile app or a protocol to facilitate the sale of goods and services. –
