New member inductionCo‑operatives may find it difficult to run effective induction programmes for new members because of a lack of time and/or resources. Yet unless new members are given an understanding of the co‑operative movement in general and their co‑operative in particular, it is possible that over time the co‑operative ethos will get diluted. Eventually the business could degenerate into a private enterprise. WorkshopsOur workshops for new members include: co‑operative principles and values; the history of the co‑operative movement in Europe; co‑operatives in other countries; national, regional and local support structures and networks. An extra module, guiding participants through the production of a Welcome Pack to their own co‑operative (if it does not already exist) can be included if desired.

It is hoped that over time this forum will become a unique collection of typical questions from people new to working co‑operatively. Feel free to post any questions – no matter how basic they seem to you, there will always be somebody else who will share your doubts and uncertainties.Click here to enter the forum. Downloads
