2024 ACE Institute – Cultivating Co-operation
Immerse yourself in co-operative education excellence at the 73rd Annual ACE Institute in Bismarck-Mandan, ND June 24-27.
This year’s theme, Cultivating Co-operation, asks essential questions about the nature of cooperation and how to cultivate the conditions under which co-operation flourishes. This year’s Institute offers a unique opportunity to explore new dimensions of cooperative excellence, drawing inspiration from the values and successes that have shaped this region for generations and continue to thrive.
Call for Proposals (deadline: March 31)
Cooperators, researchers, scholars, educators, activists, and co-op founders are encouraged to submit proposals to showcase their expertise. We are especially interested in workshops, experiential sessions, and panel presentations. Key areas of focus include co-operation in agriculture, the environment, Indigenous communities, communities of colour, and co-operatives as a tool for confronting marginalization.
