Advancing the Cooperative Movement

Creativity

I’m producing a documentary about cooperation, community, and collaborative leadership in the United States, and I need your help. I’m seeking co-creators to help tell powerful stories that will inspire and motivate agents of cultural change.

Co-Nation will follow my transcontinental cycling tour in 2012, as I visit a variety of cooperative communities across all sectors. From co-working centers in urban areas to intentional communities in the countryside, I’ll be gathering diverse perspectives on individual and collective problem-solving, and examining the benefits and challenges of cooperative culture.

If you are involved in any type of co-op or community that values cooperation over competition, I’d love to hear from you. Even if you are just getting started, or would like to learn more about the cooperative movement, please share your comments.

Current topics of interest include:

  • Collaborative Leadership
  • Volunteering and Civic Engagement
  • Community Media and Technology
  • Co-Economics and Social Enterprise
  • Co-Learning and Skill Sharing
  • Co-Creation and Artist Collectives
  • Co-Living and Intentional Communities
  • Co-Working and Worker Cooperative Businesses

What are some topics you would like to see covered in a documentary about cooperation? Are there any thought leaders in this field that I should know about? Who influences your community? What inspires you? What challenges do you face in your co-op or community, and how are you addressing them?

I’d love to hear your stories. If you know someone I should interview, or have a suggestion of a community I should visit, please let me know.
