7. Co-operative & CIC Governance

Dates to be confirmed

With a co-operative or Community Interest Company (CIC) model, you can achieve more together and create something meaningful for your community. In this module we will explore two ways to organise in a collaborative, more democratic way.

Together we will learn about setting up governance constitutions, what collaborative models exist and how to create peer-to-peer support when you have no managers.

Sessions in Module 7

Constitutions & Objectives

Understand the language of co-operative constitutions and CIC objectives to support the formation of collaborative projects, and get started.

Collaborative Models

Peer Support Without Managers

Explore how projects built collectively can still have ‘Human Resources’ processes (eg. grievance and progression) without using traditional management structures.
