In a message the ICA Director-General has said that the 33rd World Cooperative Congress will be a hybrid event. Delegates will have the option to attend in person (in Seoul, Republic of Korea) or online from the comfort of their homes or offices. This hybrid event will be held from 1-3 December 2021.
This year’s event will see the cooperative movement explore its identity so it can build a more secure future. 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, says Bruno Roelants.
The Congress will feature a range of plenaries and parallel sessions, dealing with crucial issues for the movement such as the digital transition and access to capital.
Delegates will be able to hear from more than 150 inspiring speakers from 24 countries – from filmmakers to cooperative leaders – and exciting cooperatives that are making a difference and driving innovation.
