We are an educational charity dedicated to the promotion of co-operative values, ideas and principles within society.

We work with co-operatives and communities across the UK and throughout the world. Our focus is on delivering programmes that help individuals and groups gain the skills and understanding needed to put co-operative values and principles into effective practice. Our work with schools and young people is taking co-operation to a new generation, and helps achieve our ultimate aim, which is to see a world full of successful co-operative businesses.

We are the UK’s leading knowledge centre on co-operation, drawn from over 100 years’ experience of working with co-operatives throughout the world.

The vision and values of the pioneers of co-operation are at the heart of all our learning programmes, projects, and resources.

A dedicated, experienced and highly qualified team together with unrivalled knowledge of co-operative education make the College what it is – a unique resource and centre of excellence in co-operation and co-operative learning.
