An insightful and interactive session with Olive McCarthy, Bridget Carroll and Team today as we started back into the new year with our Tirlán module on Co-operative Governance.
💰💰 Ever played Monopoly, the game for would-be property moguls and hotel owners? 🏚🏚 Well today we introduced Co-opoly - the game of co-operatives - to the participants of our new Certificate in Professional Development and Co-operative Governance, as part of the Tirlan Governance Academy with the Food Industry Training Unit, University College Cork (UCC) and Cork University Business School. Co-opoly was made for those who want to play together instead of competing against each other, and those thinking about starting a co-operative or improving skills as collaborators. We used it pedagogically today to think about how we make decisions as co-operators....and for a bit of inclusive fun and movement in the classroom. Thanks to The TESA Collective, a worker-owned publisher, for rethinking traditional gaming and all the programme participants from Tirlán co-operative who were so willing to get stuck in today.

Congratulations to Stephen, from the PG Cert in Dairy Technology and Innovation Class of 2023/2024. 👏🎉 #dairy #parttimecourse University College Cork
Friday the 13th was a good day as I graduated with my class after completing a Post Graduate Certificate in Dairy Technology and Innovation. I guess you can after all teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you to Dale Farm Ltd for supporting me through the studies and UCC Food Industry Training Unit for providing the course and excellent lecturers sharing their dairy knowledge.
