🧵 In Kobe, Japan 🇯🇵, you’ll find a replica of the Rochdale Pioneers’ original 1844 co-op shop.
A tiny monument to a big idea: that businesses should be owned and run by the people closest to them.
That idea changed the world 🌍 1of2

That's a wrap! #CoopCongress has come to a close at Rochdale Town Hall (but lots more content to come). Huge thanks to all our speakers, exhibitors and of course
The Co-operative Bank - whose sponsorship is invaluable. We'll leave (today's) last word to
@rosemarley.bsky.social.

Steve Coogan also featured on BBC Radio 4's Today programme ahead of #CoopCongress. It's a great interview.

Awesome to feel the Scottish coop sector get a bit more pumped about their own brilliance, and the global coop family. Helped along by @rosemarley.bsky.social

"The world young people are inheriting, isn’t a fair world. And they know it."
Powerful piece from @rosemarley.bsky.social in the Manchester Evening News.
Challenging the higher education status quo and making the case for co-operation.
📖 Worth a read.

Was delighted to represent the Cooperative Councils Innovation Network at @casecooperative.bsky.social this afternoon. Was great to meet old and new friends alike, and catch-up with @rosemarley.bsky.social before our AGM in February.
Another exciting day at the 'Living History of Co-operatives' Exhibition!

Come along, visit and share your own co-op memories. Pop in to CAN HQ in Coalville and explore it for free until the 27th of January.

Thanks to @cllrstubbsnul.bsky.social and @rosemarley.bsky.social for visiting!
Great discussions today with government on the need to embed Civil Society organisations including #socent #coops in delivery across all sectors. There’s a new tone. We like it!

Amazing how a week at the International Co-op Conference with #coops & #cooperators can motivate & inspire. From @sarahdoc72.bsky.social to @rosemarley.bsky.social & from the amazing Debbie Robinson as CEO of Central Co-op to Rebecca & Anca coopnews.bsky.social - www.thenews.coop/internationa...
Raising the UN year of the co-operative flag and the commencement of the Global conference #icanewdelhi2024 seems an appropriate first post on here. #coops
Happy international men’s day!

Great to speak this morning at the GM Social Enterprise Summit to 150 Social enterprise leaders.

We want good growth, that benefits our people and our communities- with wealth that stays in GM. Our social economy is growing, and one of the best ways to do this!
