The International Day of Cooperatives (#CoopsDay) is just around the corner!
On 1 July, cooperatives from all around the world will celebrate the 101th International Day of Cooperatives. United by the slogan Cooperatives for sustainable development, we will show how the cooperative way of working, inspired by the cooperative values and principles, has the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of its DNA.
We have prepared a media pack filled with all you need to engage in the cooperative movement's biggest annual celebration:
- The 2023 logo in English, Spanish and French
- The 2023 poster that you can use for your event or to take a picture that we will upload on the CoopsDay website
- A communication toolkit to make sure #coops4sdgs will build buzz on social media!
- and MUCH MORE!
You can find it all at www.coopsday.coop

About #CoopsDay
Marked by cooperatives worldwide since 1923 and officially proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly on the centenary of the ICA in 1995, the International Day of Cooperatives is celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July.
The aim of #CoopsDay is to increase awareness of cooperatives and promote the movement’s ideas of international solidarity, economic efficiency, equality, and world peace. Since 1995, the ICA and the United Nations through the Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) have jointly set the theme for the celebration of #CoopsDay.
