The narrative intertwines the immediate practical requirements of cooperatives with broader, visionary perspectives, illustrating how education within cooperatives is intricately linked to their operational success and sustainability.? - Simel Esim, Head, Cooperative, Social and Solidarity Economy Unit, International Labour Organisation (ILO) ?The Co-operative College has had a profound impact on the lives of generations of students. This impressive, lucidly written study makes a compelling case for both its national and global importance.? - Peter Gurney, Professor, University of Essex, UK This open access book explores the Co-operative College?s distinctive adult educational tradition over the past century as it provided education for co-operative leaders, employees and members in addition to developing a range of wider educational initiatives and ideas internationally. The Co-operative College is a British educational charity established in 1919, founded on co-operative principles. It played a crucial role in co-operative education in the British Empire and subsequently in the independent nations. In doing so, it brought together vocational and liberal education as well as educating members as part of a movement that fostered significant social change. It draws on original archival research at the National Co-operative Archive in Manchester as well as other material at the National Archives, Bishopsgate Institute and the British Library. Furthermore, the rich archives of the National Co-operative Archive allow for the development of a rich visual history of the movement to be explored. Tom Woodin is Professor in the Social History of Education at the Institute of Education, University College London, UK. Keith Vernon is Principal Lecturer in History at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. Linda Shaw was the Vice Principal at the Co-operative College in Manchester, UK. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning,$x2524-6321 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducation 606 $aHistory of Education 606 $aSocial History 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aCooperativisme$2thub 606 $aEducació cooperativa$2thub 606 $aCanvi social$2thub 606 $aInternacionalisme$2thub 606 $aHistòria de l'educació$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 14$aEducation. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 7$aCooperativisme 615 7$aEducació cooperativa 615 7$aCanvi social 615 7$aInternacionalisme 615 7$aHistòria de l'educació 676 $a370 700 $aWoodin$b Tom$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01610141 702 $aVernon$b Keith$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aShaw$b Linda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983069703321 996 $aThe Co-operative College and a Century of Social Change$94327833 997 $aUNINA
