Our campaign and conference may be over, but we are not done promoting cooperative solutions for non-standard work challenges!
As you may know, CECOP released a report titled
ALL FOR ONE that shows the contributions made by worker-owned cooperatives to the issues related to non-standard employment, such as precariousness, low income, insufficient social security coverage and workers’ isolation.
Originally planned through a live conference, our promotion effort was transformed into a pandemic-proof dissemination strategy: an online campaign topped with an online conference.
The campaign
We had a month-long communication campaign on social media, in which we conveyed the key political messages of the report through several visuals containing quotes from CECOP members (#CECOPvoices), and a three-part
docuseries.
The protagonists of our docuseries are Tommi Viitamies, from Lilith Cooperative (Finland), Francesca Martinelli, researcher on platform coops, from Fondazione Centro Studi Doc (Italy), and CECOP President Giuseppe Guerini. If you haven't had the chance to watch it, we highly recommend it!
Would you like to see all of our visuals released during the campaign? We made an album! Take a look at it
here.
The conference
Our flagship conference happened on December 3rd. We discussed strategies undertaken by several worker-owned cooperative models and their reactions to the challenges of non-standard work. We had some great active speakers, and more than 100 participants from all over Europe.
It was surely an event to remember. Did you miss it? You can read all about it
here.
That is all for now. We would like to thank all of our speakers,
