A diploma to revitalize cooperativism
The expert certification in Cooperativism aims to strengthen the socio-business project of cooperatives, focusing on the development of the cooperative and social dimensions. For this purpose, throughout the academic year, the students will receive solid theoretical and practical knowledge that will help them to understand and analyze the cooperative situation. In their first session, they discussed the creation of cooperativism and its philosophical foundations.
In this expert certification course, the participants will receive tools that are useful for the development of the socio-business project of cooperatives. Additionally, by collaborating and sharing their experiences, they will have the opportunity to learn about and reflect on the experiences of other cooperatives. The course has a very practical methodology and will conclude with the presentation of practical projects by the participants.
An exemplary course
This course, which is exemplary in the training of cooperative members and members of administrative bodies, is organized jointly by Mondragon University’s LANKI Institute of Co-operative Research and the Otalora training center of the Mondragon Group. Over the years, more than 300 representatives from 40 different cooperatives have taken part in the expert certification course in Cooperativism.
