YOUCOOPE is an European project that aims to encourage educational institutions to include the cooperative model in their curricula and to promote it among young students and entrepreneurs.
The ten institutions that promote this initiative will design innovative training modules with resources, methodologies and tools for educators to integrate cooperative entrepreneurship concepts, skills and real experiences in their classroom. This resources will also encourage them to seek the collaboration of existing cooperatives from their local context, to both gain awareness but also to facilitate school-to-work transition and real experiences.
With this approach, educators will get the knowledge and will develop skills and comprehension of the cooperative model, to encourage the use of cooperative entrepreneurship in the development of innovative projects.
