Do you know the story of how co-ops got started and how the global body for the movement formed? BCCM is Australia’s peak body member of the International Cooperative Alliance, which has developed this new 3-minute video explaining its history and the purpose of co-ops and mutuals.

During #MICEO Executive Director Roy Messing’s upcoming trip to Emilia Romagna region in Italy (Bologna), he is planning to visit a series of Cooperatives. There are four major types of cooperatives in this region, which are outlined below: 1. User Coops – created by people who use the products/services of their cooperative and can be found in #retailtrade, utilities, credit, insurance, and housing. 2. Producer’s coops – formed by members who produce in the company they own and have #cooperative assistance in buying inputs, marketing, and processing their outputs. #Farmer cooperatives are the best example of this cooperative type.  3. Social Coops – These are formed to deliver personal services to the #community and stimulate #workopportunities for handicapped individuals. 4. Worker coops – The members (owners) of the company are the workers. Workers supply capital and participate in #managing the operation. An ecosystem has been established over the years to help support these cooperative enterprises. While there is professional support, government agencies, #unions, universities, and religious institutions also have a major influence on maintaining a strong cooperative community.

Today is Australia Day, but it's not a celebration for all. I'm not here to judge what Australia Day means to others or how they choose to spend today, but if you're not sure what all the fuss is about, this is a helpful article that could help you understand the perspectives of many First Nations people. If you're not sure how you could spend your day, there's some practical ideas in there too. Hopefully one day soon we can have a day we can all celebrate together. #YourOTTutor
