Patrick Doyle (SCSI) and Elisavet Mantzari (UKSCS) reflect on the joint conference in Belfast in February this year in an article published by Rundale - a new Irish media platform.
In it, they stress the value of co-operative endeavour across borders. Against a backdrop of changing legislation - the Co-operative Societies Bill in Ireland and the Law Commission review of co-operative legislation in Britain, the conference covered issues linked to workplace democracy; credit union development; co-operative education; collaborative housing; agriculture; sustainability; and innovation, as well as providing space for historical reflection.
