 International Day of Co-operatives

Published July 11, 2024

 International Day of Co-operatives

Saturday, July 6 is the International Day of Co-operatives and this year’s theme is Co-operatives Build a Better Future for All. By fostering inclusive communities, providing secure and affordable homes, advancing environmental sustainability, and more, housing co-ops are building a better future for all.

 About the International Day of Co-operatives

On this UN recognition day, co-ops around the world celebrate the co-operative identity, values, and principles that unite us.

For the 2024 #CoopsDay, cooperatives can showcase their high standards for inclusive and sustainable growth, and serve as stewards for protecting the environment and fighting climate change. Through dialogue, democratic governance, and shared ownership, cooperatives set an example for peace and stability, bringing people from diverse backgrounds together on equal terms, and fostering mutual understanding and respect. The cooperative youth are empowered to lead the way by giving them opportunities, transferring knowledge, and ensuring diversity, equity and equality for all.
