Sharing the promise of peace. Easy as 1,2,3.
  
1. As we make the shift from the International Year of Co-operatives to the International Decade of Co-operatives - named so by the International Co-operative Alliance - we are reminded of the important roles co-operatives are playing to engender peace around the globe.  International Disptach takes you to Sri Lanka where co-operatives are helping to level the playing field for those less ready to thrive now that the guns have been silenced.  Take a three minute train trip across this tiny nation as it heals from a decades-long civil war.

 

2. Click on the links to learn how co-operatives of all stripes are helping their communities during situations of conflict and strife.

 

3. We want to know what YOU are doing to make a difference in the world.
