About the International Day The International Day of Cooperatives is celebrated every year, on the first Saturday of July. The objectives are to increase awareness on cooperatives and promote the movement’s successes and the ideals of international solidarity, economic efficiency, equality and world peace. At the same time it seeks to strengthen and extend partnerships between the international cooperative movement and other actors.
The first time that the ICA celebrated the International Day was in 1923. Since 1995, the ICA and the United Nations set the theme for the celebration of the International Day through the Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC).
The theme is generally selected during the spring. Read the full message from the ICA here.
