Aim:

values and principles they are built on. The students get acquainted with different types of co-operatives and
with the ways these apply the co-operative values and principles in practice. 

Content:
In the course the history of modern cooperatives and their values and principles at both national and international
levels are dealt with. The students learn how the cooperative values and principles originated and took shape
during the 1900’s, how they evolved during the 2000’s and how they are reshaped to the demands of today’s
global world. The study module ends with examples of cooperatives showing that they are not curiosities from
the past, but that the challenges of the modern business environment can be answered by them.
