Platform 6 Community
Platform 6 is a project to build a community of co-operative development enquiry and practice. A virtual community where co-operatives and co-operators support each other.
This is our public Loomio group where we encourage you to ask questions, get involved in discussions and share resources.
You do not need to be a member of Platform 6 Development Co-operative to join this Loomio group. There is a separate sub-loomio available for full members of Platform 6. Members control the strategy and direction of the co-op and can allocate funds.
Use this group to:
- ask and respond to questions;
- promote any co-operative development activity
- find and post links to support resources; or just
- join the conversation
You can also become a full member of Platform 6 Development Co-operative here:
