Using the current global crisis as a framework, discussions will aim to deepen the cooperative identity by examining its values, strengthening its actions, committing to its principles and living its achievements.

• ICA World Cooperative Congresses are historical moments for the movement that bring co-ops and cooperators together to share, learn and grow.

• The Congress will be a hybrid event, taking place both in-person in Seoul, and online.

 

• The event will feature a range of keynote speakers, including UN Special Rapporteur for Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Professor Olivier De Schutter; activist and founder of the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA), Ella Bhatt; and ILO Director-General, Guy Ryder.
