📢 Open Call for Applications for @platformcoop (2026–2027)
The Institute for the Cooperative Digital Economy (#ICDE) at The New School invites applications for its 2026–2027 Fellowship Program, a global research program for scholars examining how #cooperatives, unions, and solidarity-economy organizations are engaging with digital systems, including artificial intelligence and data-intensive infrastructures.

Governança del poder i distribució del valor, elements diferenciadors de les #cooperatives.
Hi ha moltes coses de les que podem aprendre i inspirar-nos amb l'Economia Social francesa amb @tduverger.
Entre d'altres, crear una #cooperativa d'estudiants de postgrau amb el suport de la pròpia #universitat per 'vendre' els seus treballs de consultoria (TFGs) a administracions públiques i empreses.
Aprendre cooperativisme per la pràctica.
Els directius de les empreses de l' #IBEX35 cobren 55 vegades més que la plantilla de les seves empreses... de MITJANA!
És a dir, que la diferència entre el que més cobra i el que menys dins les empreses de l'star system capitalista encara és major.
A les #cooperatives, aquesta diferència és molt menor. A les cooperatives més grosses estarà entorn de 5 vegades.
Per què?
Perquè qui ho decideix són els treballadors, el propietaris de l' #empresa.
#Igualtat #Coop

🤑 La xarxa de cooperatives franceses d' @enercoop_scic vol aconseguir 6 milions d'euros!
El més interessant és que ho fan conjuntament amb les 13 cooperatives regionals #Enercoop.
És tracta d'un model d'organitzar l'energia renovable i #cooperativa que ens hauria d'inspirar canvis al nostre ecosistema, excessivament centralitzat i fragmentat.
La unió fa la força!

#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow
by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025
Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

A cada Gobierno, la seva 'reforma' del sistema educatiu.
"A diferència de molts països europeus, que desenvolupen reformes educatives basades en consensos amplis i duradors, Espanya ha viscut un cicle continu de substitució de lleis orgàniques."
Contra això, les #cooperatives d'ensenyament garanteixen una cultura de centre que aporta continuitat pedagògica.
🎧 La democràcia aplicada a les empreses: les #cooperatives.
Hi ha una guerra cultural entre l'emprenedoria individual i els extraordinaris però desconeguts beneficis col·lectius que generen les cooperatives.
Les cooperatives són una eina de reapropiació de la #llibertat i de la #democràcia en el camp econòmic que permet que participem en les decisions i estendre el camp d'allò que podem controlar.

La setmana passada a l'escola dels meus fills vaig fer una xerrada sobre #Cooperatives per explicar què són i animar-los a constituir una #cooperativa d'alumnes.
Als al·lots sembla que els va agradar molt. Són nous reptes que van més enllà de l'entorn de l'escola i poden aprendre moltíssim en el procés.
Algú més en té experiència? M'oferesc a acompanyar-vos si voleu fomentar una cooperativa d'alumnes a la vostra escola.

We just publised Chapter 13 of Cooperative Enterprise and Market Economy, by @luisrazeto, tranlated by @Matt_Noyes
#cooperatives #economics #SolidarityEconomy
https://geo.coop/articles/cooperative-enterprise-and-market-economy-chapter-13
Yes, social enterprises and co-ops have to operate within a state-corporate system, they're not magically immune from the effects of this just because they have non-corporate or even anti-corporate ways of working, or legal structures. Their mere existence can't and won't solve all the problems our societies face.
But the more we can build the solidarity economy, the more resources we have to do the other work that's needed.

What Billionaires Don't Want You to Know about Italy's Economy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQMZR64G_eM
Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives. In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP. We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy...
#Italy #DemocraticEconomy #Cooperatives #Parma #Richest #Investigation
People are more inclined to support businesses that just want to do the thing, cover upstream costs, and pay their workers a living rate. But the ones that exist just to make money can see that, so they often try to misrepresent themselves as not just chasing money.
One effect of this is making people cynical about whether social enterprises or even co-ops are really any different from for-profits or corporations. Scepticism is warranted. But don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

El preu dels locals puja i fa tancar autònoms i PIMEs.
