Catalyzing worker co-ops & the solidarity economy

Toolbox For Education and Social Action Course Registration

Dear worker co-op friends and allies,


Thank you for your ongoing support of TESA. We know that you may have already received an outreach letter from TESA today, and we wanted to follow-up further with our close allies, both individuals and organizations. We are writing today to see if you would be willing to lend your support one of our new and exciting projects, the TESA Academy. We are launching our first online course next Thursday, “Introduction to Co-ops.” This course will take place on March 13th and March 20th from 4:00 - 6:30 PM EST.


As a part of our Academy, we are running these online courses that focus on cooperatives, which have been in development for over a year now. Just recently we, along with the North American Students for Cooperation (NASCO), received a Cooperative Education grant from the CHS Foundation in order to help bring this initiative to fruition.  As a result of the grant we will offer our three co-op related courses for $20 - $80 on our sliding scale. In addition, we have a popular education course that focuses on helping participants develop the same kinds of skills we use to teach our workshops and courses and to build our resources (such as Co-opoly). All of our online courses will be engaging and discussion-based, participants will not just watch videos and respond to quizzes. Rather, they will interact with guest speakers, other participants, activities, and dialogue sessions.


In this first phase of our Academy, we will be starting out with four courses: Intro to Cooperatives, Worker Co-ops 101, Creating a Cooperative Food Economy, and Popular Education Methods and Practices. For more details regarding timing and cost of the courses you can go here.


We view these courses as both a great way for people to learn more about co-ops and to get involved with the cooperative movement, as well as a way for those who already have co-op experience to develop new skills and techniques. We know there are a lot of people out there who are hungry for this information, and we would be so appreciative if you could help us spread the word.


In cooperation,
The TESA team
