Cooperatives: unique contexts for competence development

Cooperatives have unique features which enable competence development. A first concise explorative study shows that cooperatives have various facilities for competence development of members, board members and employees. The paper on this issue will be presented at the ESEE seminar (http://esee1973.org/) and the ECER conference, both in September in Turkey (http://www.eera-ecer.de/ecer2013/).
