Time

10:30am to 1pm

Are you looking for a different way to do business? Workers’ co-operatives are a great way of

doing that – they are businesses run democratically by the workers to provide themselves with meaningful employment and to provide a service to the community, rather than creating profit for a boss or unconnected shareholders.

This workshop will inspire you to work co-operatively, to take control over your work life and change our society for the better, here and now.

Who it's for

The facilitator

  • What is a worker co-op?
  • The practicalities of setting up a worker co-op - what you need, when you need it, and where to research further support.
  • Worker co-op organising techniques and practical tools.
  • The motivation, inspiration, and knowledge to start this new adventure
  • Some core skills and ways of working with others to ensure you can build a great organisational culture
  • Do you have a business idea, social or community project, or need for a decent job doing what you love. But you want to share the work, responsibilities, and rewards with others?
  • Do you think you want to be a worker co-op but just aren’t quite sure?
  • Are you interested in worker ownership and want the knowledge and tools to advocate for the model and help others get started on their own journey?
