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). 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.
