Our COOPower project aims to raise public awareness of co-operative and social economy enterprises as alternative, inclusive and innovative approaches to tackling youth unemployment.

The COOPower project has finished its virtual study visit to four social economy enterprises in the UK. The virtual visit, created by Pioneers Post, highlights the work of these enterprises by providing video tours around their premises, interviews with their staff, volunteers and beneficiaries and background information.
