Training, Accompaniment & Solidarity for Worker Cooperatives

Workshops

Our workshops are designed to make cooperative knowledge accessible, engaging, and directly applicable. We believe learning should be participatory, hands-on, and empowering.

What we offer:

Cooperative Economics:

Understanding how cooperatives function as alternatives to traditional business models, how wealth is shared, and how communities can build collective resilience.

Governance & Decision-Making:

Practical training on democratic governance models, consensus-based processes, transparent record-keeping, and role rotation.

Solidarity Practices:

Exploring the cultural and relational aspects of cooperation—how to build trust, resolve conflicts, and embed equity in daily operations.

Custom Curriculum:

Each workshop is tailored to the needs of your group, whether you are just learning about cooperatives or refining an existing model.

Peer Accompaniment

Launching and sustaining a cooperative is a unique journey, and no two groups follow the exact same path. Our peer accompaniment model provides personalised, step-by-step guidance that respects your pace, your culture, and your goals.

What we offer:

Tailored Roadmaps:

Collaborative planning to map out clear next steps for your cooperative.

Anti-Oppression Grounding:

We integrate practices that challenge inequities and ensure that all voices, especially those most marginalised, are heard and valued.

Hands-On Support:

From drafting bylaws to structuring finances or refining governance systems, we walk alongside you—not as outside experts dictating solutions, but as peers supporting your journey.

Capacity-Building:

We focus on equipping your group with the skills to eventually carry forward independently, building long-term sustainability.

Facilitation

Effective facilitation is key to healthy group processes and strong decision-making. We offer skilled facilitation that helps groups move through complexity with clarity and care.

What we offer:

Inclusive Meetings:

Designing and leading spaces where all members can contribute meaningfully.

Consensus & Decision-Making:

Guiding groups through structured processes that lead to collective agreement and reduce conflict.

Strategic Planning Sessions:

Facilitating retreats, visioning sessions, and planning meetings that balance efficiency with depth of participation.

Conflict Transformation:

Helping groups navigate tensions, build trust, and strengthen relationships through restorative approaches.
