Stories.coop was founded by the International Cooperative Alliance and Euricse in 2012 to celebrate the International Year of Cooperatives. This platform was created to showcase the cooperative identity and demonstrate how this model can make a tangible impact to build a better world. For the duration of 2012, one story was published each day promoting the work and successes of cooperatives everywhere. Since then, DotCoop has joined this initiative to strengthen the ongoing global campaign: To celebrate the inspiring work of cooperatives around the world, using the tradition of storytelling.
As we celebrate the International Year of Cooperatives again in 2025, we look to our shared stories to lift the collective voice of cooperatives globally and show that together, we are building a better world.
