Welcome to the International year of Co-operatives!

2012 will see a year-long schedule of activities to raise the profile of co-operatives during the United Nations' International Year of Co-operatives.

Across the world, co-operators and co-operatives will come together to celebrate with hundreds of activities planned to promote the co-operative voice.
