The co-operative model provides a powerful method for students to join together and solve some of their most pressing problems while in education. Students around the world have co-operated to develop solutions to issues such as:
lack of transport facilities;
expensive housing;
inadequate food and drink provision; and
access to learning materials.
See the case studies section for details of some of the inspiring and practical ways students are utilising the co-operative model. There are also details of support networks for students who wish to set up a co-operative while in education.
