Every first Saturday of July, the International Day of Cooperatives is celebrated. This holiday is established by a resolution of the UN General Assembly.
The International Cooperative Alliance has 760 million cooperative members in 100 countries. Cooperatives are a necessary factor in socio-economic development. The main objectives of the holiday are to disseminate information about cooperatives, the contribution of the movement to solving the main problems.
Also, the purpose of the Day of Cooperatives is to attract the attention of the world community to cooperatives and to promote the expansion of partnerships between the international cooperative movement and other subjects of international law.
Every year, events dedicated to the International Day of Cooperatives have a specific theme. They were held under such mottos as “State Policy and Cooperative Legislation”, “Progress of Cooperatives in the Third Millennium”.
