Calling All Co-op Enthusiasts and Tech Innovators! 🚀

SDG Assessment and the Centre for Sustainable Action partner at the Co-op Hackathon, taking place on October 1-2, 2024, in Staffordshire! We’re reviving a beloved piece of co-operative history—the Co-op Token! 🪙

Our Chief Operating Officer Sian Young led our team with the  support of Alexander Coles AI expert and a member of the Centre for Sustainable Action a UK based cooperative that provides sustainable entrepreneurship consultancy and training.

Do you remember the thrill of collecting those tokens? They were once essential to our co-operative shopping experience. Now, we’re on a mission to reimagine the Co-op Token for the digital age, integrating it with sustainability initiatives.

🔹 Did you collect Co-op Tokens as a child?
🔹 Do you have cherished memories of using them in stores?
🔹 Can you envision how we could modernize this co-op classic?

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Share your ideas in the comments, and we’ll bring them to the hackathon as we explore innovative ways to transform the Co-op Token for the 21st century. Together, we can create a digital solution that honors our co-operative roots while propelling the movement forward!

If you can’t join us in person, don’t worry! We’ll ensure your ideas are represented in our proposal in our digital solution, where we’ll turn nostalgia into cutting-edge co-operative tech. Let’s start brainstorming and celebrate our co-op legacy!
