VI Cooperative Summit of the Americas slated for late October
ASUNCION– From October 24 to 27, 2022, it will be the right opportunity at the cooperative summit to make visible the impact and commitment of American cooperativism and, from this, with the movement and the global agenda, as well as with the planet, for a truly sustainable development.
Cooperatives of the Americas and all associated organizations from Paraguay [CONPACOOP, CONCOPAR, Cooperativa Universitaria, FECOAC, FECOPAR, FECOMULP and Panal Seguros] are organizing the VI Cooperative Summit of the Americas, which will take place in the city of Luque, Asunción, in a face-to-face event.
Regional Summits have been held since 2009 with the purpose of building agreements and political commitments that are reflected in a Final Declaration, aimed at promoting changes that impact cooperative organizations and their communities. The average number of participants in these continental events that are the Summits is 1,200 people and for three days they meet to debate, study and deepen the most current issues, determine advocacy strategies and guidelines for the next 4 years to follow.
This VI edition constitutes an effort by regional cooperativism to analyze reality, debate proposals and define joint initiatives based on the current context of cooperativism as part of the international community.
The axes to be discussed and analyzed to relaunch face-to-face activities after more than two years of crisis generated by the pandemic will be very “solid”, at the heart of regional cooperativism: cooperative identity (also in the face of global challenges and virtuality], reactivation and economic integration, climate change and sustainability.
The agenda that is being prepared is enriched by a Commercial Forum, a Cooperative Education Forum, the Youth Meeting and the VIII Continental Congress of Cooperative Law.
