What do we really
mean by
“generational
renewal”?
![Page 12: WORKSHOP - International Co-operative Alliance...WORKSHOP Inter-generational exchange, participation and membership. Chiara Bertelli & Roberto Cardinale Generazioni Legacoop Emilia-Romagna](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042709/5f3dd1c1ee41c55c230d39fd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Does the co-operative offer actions,
processes, and tools that are
welcoming and inclusive enough for the
young people who choose co-operation
as a tool for the professional growth?
![Page 13: WORKSHOP - International Co-operative Alliance...WORKSHOP Inter-generational exchange, participation and membership. Chiara Bertelli & Roberto Cardinale Generazioni Legacoop Emilia-Romagna](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042709/5f3dd1c1ee41c55c230d39fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is there anything that hinders generational renewal, or, in the contrary, are there any elements that could help it?
Could we apply those elements beyond their specific context?
![Page 14: WORKSHOP - International Co-operative Alliance...WORKSHOP Inter-generational exchange, participation and membership. Chiara Bertelli & Roberto Cardinale Generazioni Legacoop Emilia-Romagna](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042709/5f3dd1c1ee41c55c230d39fd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Is there a different approach to the
generational renewal issue when we
look at it on the owners of a
cooperative’s level and when we look
at it on the management’s level?
