Updating Co-operative Values and Principles - a series by UKSCS - Seminar 2 of 9
Channel: UK Society for Co-operative Studies
Date: 2022-11-07

This seminar, organised by the UK Society of Co-operative Studies (UKSCS) with the EMES International Research Network (EMES) and European Research Institute for Co-operative and Social Enterprise (EURICSE), took place on 21st June 2021. It was hosted and recorded by the FairShares Institute for Co-operative Social Entrepreneurship at Sheffield Hallam University. 

The theme of the seminar was Updating Co-op Values and Principles. In addition to papers on revising co-operative values and principles, we welcomed contributions that explore frameworks that align new cooperativism with the social solidarity economy (e.g. transformative social innovation; FairShares Model). Do these extend, develop or replace existing co-operative values and principles? Do they observe the 2015 guidance of the International Co-operative Alliance? What updates (if any) are needed to accommodate new cooperativism?
