Cooperativism in the hour of global challenges
Between October 23 and 26, 2018, more than 1.500 cooperators and representatives of other organizations and institutions linked to cooperatives, from more than 50 countries, met in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, within the framework of the Fifth Cooperative Summit of the Americas, to analyze the reality, debate proposals and define joint initiatives, under the motto "Cooperativism in the time of global challenges." As in previous Summits, the central purpose of the event was to build agreements aimed at promoting concrete changes that impact both the cooperative organizations themselves and their communities, which are included in the text of the so-called Buenos Aires Declaration.
