Join us for one of the first screenings of A Silent Transformation film in London that we are co-hosting with a local housing.  This screening is a part of Cooperative Fortnight, celebration of co-operative difference.

A Silent Transformation is a film about the transformative power of the co-operative model.

The co-operative movement was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective well-being in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion and cultural discrimination.
As the modern economy increasingly denies vast sectors of the population basic amenities for decent life, this co-operative spirit is as critical as ever. However, over the years the co-op sector has become insular and poorly understood.

The film sets out to explore the innovative self-help efforts of diverse communities across the Province of Ontario. By addressing their needs collectively they are helping to regain the radical vision of co-operation.
In these communities are the seeds of economic democracy, global solidarity, and a new popular movement to transform society.

The license for this screening had been kindly provided by Co-operatives UK, the regional cooperative body for the UK. The screening is co-organised by Sanford Housing Co-Op and Ceramics Studio Co-op.
