Hello #CoopTwitter (not yet CoopX :)
Could you pl. share how you call #cooperatives in your #language?
I know hợp tác xã in #Vietnam 🇻🇳, Zadruga in #Croatia 🇭🇷, Sahkaryata in Hindi #India 🇮🇳, maybe some more. But, It'd be GREAT to hear from you!

🐝 #ThrowbackThursday to Stockport's co-operatives roots 🐝. This mosaic artwork was snapped in Cheadle by a Co-operative UK colleague. The beehive imagery displays a classic #coops symbol - signifying unity, industry and working together for the common good. A reminder that co-operatives helped build communities (let's keep building). 💪 🌍
#stockport #builtbycoops
ALT The mosaic reads: "Stockport Industrial & Equitable Co-operative Society Ltd, Est. 1860" with the word "Co-operative" arranged diagonally across the middle. At the bottom is a classic beehive symbol, often associated with co-operatives, framed by a patterned border.
