2025 is a historic year for our movement. The United Nations has declared it the International Year of Cooperatives. This is the perfect moment to show the world how cooperatives are building a better, fairer, and more sustainable world for all.
As part of this celebration, we’re launching a global social media series called “A Day in the Life of a Cooperator”, and we’d love for you to be featured!
This campaign will spotlight everyday cooperators like you by sharing short, behind-the-scenes moments of their daily lives. These real stories will help people everywhere understand what cooperatives are and our global impact. There’s no better time to tell your story than now.

Please send at least 3 short video clips (up to 90 seconds each) and/or a few photos showing:
A short video message/photo with captions introducing yourself and your cooperative and your country

✅ Simple Guidelines
No editing needed—we’ll take care of that. But, if you prefer to edit your own videos, let us know.
Use your phone in good lighting, record in portrait mode (vertical).
Do not add your own music.
Speak in your local language if that’s most comfortable, but add English subtitles to your videos/photos
Keep it real and authentic. Your story, your voice.
