Stronger Together: Free Online Course on Women’s Cooperatives & the Social Economy (18+)
E-learning
15 December 2026 - 15 January 2027 | Online – curso.abarka.org, Spain
Want to work in the social business field? Stronger Together is a free, self-paced online course for youth workers, trainers, social entrepreneurs, women’s cooperatives and young adults aged 18+ who want to understand how cooperatives and social enterprises really work.
The course was created by ABARKA ONGD (Basque Country, Spain) and the Zembul Women’s Cooperative (Tunceli/Dersim, Türkiye) within the Erasmus+ small-scale partnership Stronger Together (2024-1-ES01-KA210-ADU-000246731). It was funded under adult education, but its content is just as useful for young people and the youth workers who support them in building social and cooperative projects.
Objectives – by the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- explain what Erasmus+ is and how it can support their projects;
- handle the core administrative and financial tasks of a small cooperative or community initiative;
- plan the digital visibility of a social or cooperative project;
- recognise the impact of gender equality on business and entrepreneurship;
- understand leadership in a cooperative as care, vision and shared responsibility;
- describe the social and solidarity economy in practical terms, including social cooperativism and solidarity-based municipalism;
- use essential English for EU projects, budgets, meetings and travel.
Programme – 10 modules (each with a short video, a downloadable booklet and a 10-question self-check):
