The KoWerk program provided practitioners and stakeholders with the practical tools and knowledge needed to launch and run cooperative models over a 10-week business training program. By connecting academic research with real-world application, the program focused on the social and organizational skills required for democratic and sustainable entrepreneurship. You can find more information about the initiative on the KoWerk website. The final project report is now available in German, offering valuable insights into how targeted training can help create a more resilient and fair regional food system.
