Worker Co-operative Seminar - Dublin

ST Sam Toland Public Seen by 111

I know some worker co-operators from the UK are already participating in this event, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware of this.

Seminar on Worker Co-operatives

If you know anyone in Ireland (north or south) who you think may be interested in this, please do send them the link. And by all means everyone on this forum is welcome to attend!

Really interesting. It lead me here https://www.ucc.ie/en/ccs/ I wonder what's the closest to it within an English university?

Thanks Sam. I've flagged it up to Norman Rides, who is Ireland, but not in this Loomio group.

Hi Bob, I doubt it. It is being done with limited resources - but I will ask if it is being recorded.

Does anyone know of any worker co-operatives in the retrofitting business?

And indeed, if they have a relationship to http://retrofitworks.co.uk/

There is a group coming together in Ireland to start a retrofitting business, and they interested in the co-operative model. I have invited them to the seminar, but would be great if there's a UK co-operative for inspiration...
