With significant participation from residents and students of the city, the “Introduction to Cooperativism” course began, a proposal organized by the Faculty of Food Sciences (UNER) together with the Municipality of Concordia, through the Directorate of Cooperativism and Associativism.
The training is aimed at students in the final years of the Food Engineering degree, as well as students of Mechatronics Engineering and the Gastronomic Management Technical degree, who will be able to credit the subject as part of their university education. Likewise, the course is open to the entire community, fostering exchange between the academic sphere and the territorial experiences of the Social Economy.
The first meeting took place in the FCAL-UNER Conference Room, with the participation of a large number of registrants interested in strengthening their knowledge of Social and Solidarity Economy and in promoting new cooperative experiences in the city.
During the opening, Ariel Gorostegui, Director of Cooperativism and Associativism, stated: “We are happy to see so much participation and interest in cooperativism, because it means that there is a spirit of solidarity and collective work that continues to grow in Concordia.”
In addition, he highlighted that “this course seeks to provide concrete tools so that more residents and students can organize themselves, form cooperatives, or join existing ones, contributing to local development with a solidary and sustainable approach”.
The training will extend over five in-person meetings, with the delivery of certificates of participation, and is part of the joint actions that promote the Social Economy, university education, and the strengthening of local associativism.
