The expert certification is coordinated by the Lanki Institute of the Faculty of Humanities and Education and to date, including this year’s participants, more than 200 representatives from 41 cooperatives have taken part.

 

The purpose of the course is to train cooperative agents who will encourage and reinforce strategies for cooperative revitalization, and to train people to anchor the social project of cooperatives, so that they can have a multiplying effect in their respective areas. The course will provide participants with the tools necessary to approach the socio-business project in a way that always gives priority to the social aspect of cooperativism.

 

The Expert Certification in Cooperative Development is offered in collaboration with the Social Management Agency of the Mondragon Group.
