Learning for a Co-Operative World: Education, Social Change and the Co-Operative College
Woodin, Tom, Ed.; Shaw, Linda, Ed.
Trentham Books
"Learning for a Co-operative World" traces the remarkable growth of co-operative education over the decades and critically evaluates its forms today, the implications for formal and informal learning, and its potential for the future. It considers key elements of co-operative education and learning across the age range and in diverse national and international settings. Chapters describe models of learning in, by and for co-operatives, based upon the values and principles of the movement, namely: democracy and solidarity, equality and equity, self-help and self-responsibility. Co-operative values and principles have also been applied to over 600 co-operative schools and inform the movement for co-operative higher education. The book celebrates the centenary in 2019 of the Co-operative College, which has played a leading role in the development of co-operative education and is working towards a co-operative university. This book contains the following chapters: (1) The Character of Co-Operation: Reflections on Education and Co-Operative Learning (Keith Crome and Patrick O'Connor); (2) Recovering Co-Operative Educational Traditions (Tom Woodin); (3) The Co-Operative College and Co-Operative Education Internationally (Linda Shaw); (4) 'O Pioneers': Presentation and Meaning in the Work of the Co-Operative Heritage Trust (Liz McIvor); (5) Leadership in Co-Operatives (Michael L. Cook); (6) The Nature, Purpose and Place of Co-Operative Education in New Times: Learning to Know, Do, Be and Live Together (Cilla Ross); (7) Building Sustainable Co-Operatives: Education and Co-Operative Development Practice (Linda Shaw); (8) On Platforms for Co-Operative Knowledge Production (Richard Hall); (9) Co-Operative Social Entrepreneurship: Reflections on a Decade Embedding Co-Operative Studies in Social Enterprise Courses (Rory Ridley-Duff); (10) Reimagining Education Policy: Co-Operative Schools and the Social Solidarity Alternative (Deborah Ralls); and (11) The Co-Operative University now!
