This huge congress of 1400 persons on « solidarity economy » was organised by a number of German social organisations, including CICOPA member Netz für Selbstverwaltung and Selbst-Organisation (Network for Self-Management and Self-Organisation).
Among the central topics discussed at the congress was the new German cooperative law which came into force only three months ago, and which lowers the minimum number of members to establish a cooperative from 7 to 3, thus opening a huge potential for new cooperatives in that country, especially in our sector. Another main theme was how the solidarity economy could organise in Germany itself, as well as at the world level.
