Press release: First world map of cooperative cultural heritage sites unveiled

The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) officially launched the Cooperative Cultural Heritage Platform and the first World Map of sites illustrating how cooperation has shaped culture, education, and livelihoods across generations. Unveiled in a ceremony at the Itamaraty Palace in Brasília — headquarters of Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and an architectural masterpiece by Oscar Niemeyer — the platform marks a small yet historic step in safeguarding and celebrating the cooperative movement’s living cultural legacy.
