Abstract

The principle of education has reasonably been considered the “golden standard” of cooperativism. It is the gateway to knowledge of the essential characteristics of the cooperative and to the exercise of the rights and responsabilities of the partners. At the same time it brings the cooperative as a company close to society, and specially to young people who can find in it a satisfactory future, continuing the cooperative movement through the time.
