Cooperative Spring toolkit training

Do you want to learn how to develop youth cooperatives in your country, region or globally? The ICA Youth Committee is inviting cooperators to register for a training of trainers to take place in November 2025, where you will learn how to use the Cooperative Spring: A CoopYouth Toolkit

We are organising 2 sets of 3 online sessions lasting 2-3 hours each. The schedule is below in Brussels time (CET):

17 November: Introduction at 13:00 (English only) and 18:00 (English and Spanish)
18 November: Day 2 training at 13:00 (English only)
21 November: Day 3 training at 13:00 (English only)
24 November: Day 2 training at 18:00 (English and Spanish)
25 November: Day 3 training at 18:00 (English and Spanish)

You have 2 options for participating:

  1. Attend the sessions to learn how to use the toolkit, or
  2. Become a certified trainer by attending the sessions, completing required reading, joining an online community to discuss with each other, answer questions to test your understanding, and giving a training yourself. 

Becoming a certified trainer is for you if:

  • You are a cooperator and/or you are currently a coach, trainer, or coop supporter
  • You are under the age of 35
  • You are committed to help develop youth coops, completing required reading, joining an online community to discuss with each other, answer questions to test your understanding, and giving a training yourself.
  • You can get the support to become a trainer in your country and participate in regional and global events to train others outside of your country

Register here. If you want to become a certified trainer, you will be required to also submit a short bio and photo when you register. 

The trainings will take place on zoom - links will be sent to registrants closer to the date.
