The Co-operative Education Centre was created with a simple goal in mind:

to provide co-operators, community leaders and changemakers with an

inspiring and serene space to create and collaborate.

 

 

 

To play. 

To build.

To connect. 

To come together on grand plans, 

beneath a brilliant sky, or beside a roaring fire.
