The Cooperative Culture Handbook

If we are going to survive the crises of our time, we must learn how to work together.Cooperative groups are our best hope for addressing climate disruption, racism, poverty, homelessness, oppression and even pandemics. The good news is that groups form every day to address these issues. The bad news is that they struggle with conflict, gridlock, power battles, and falling participation.In short, we lack the skills to convert our passion and intelligence into effective action.

That’s where The Cooperative Culture Handbook comes in to help.
With 52 transformative group and individual exercises, here’s a practical toolkit for groups to solve problems, build community, and change culture towards greater empathy and authenticity. This is an essential resource for leaders, facilitators and changemakers to develop core practices in discernment, curiosity, communication and engagement.
