« The co-operative response to the economic downturn » Cooperating together for social interest, trust and innovation european conference and general assembly
Programme
The current economic crisis forces governments to consider new economic and social governance while the Commission and social partners agree on the urgent need for a coordinated action at EU level to complement and support actions in Member States. The aim of the conference in Sofia is to assert the strengths of co-operative enterprises that, even in a period of crisis, provide a democratic regulation and an innovative dimension. Indeed, by leading people to act by and for themselves, the cooperative movement implements a sustainable and fair development. Its merits were officially recognized by the President of the European Commission in the letter he sent to the co-Presidents of Cooperatives Europe on January 16th, 2009. It is not presumptuous to say that the co-operative approach - through its origins, but also the practice of democracy, participation, governance and social responsibility unique to the co-operative movement – has proven itself. This people centered business model offers an important element in the response to overcome the current crisis. This event will give participants from the European institutions, co-operative, employees and employers organisations the opportunity to examine the major issues as they arise in the economic and social field. It will enable them to exchange views and compare their experiences but also to talk about strategic alliances for a growth model more fair and balanced.
