A Principle 5 project

Co-op Maps

Co-opMaps is a standard for diagrams describing co-operative movement structures, and a program to produce them. Draw a map of the co-operatives, federations and supporting organisations in your area or sector, show how they are linked, and share it with others.

What you can do

Draw a map

Use the Co-op Maps tool in your browser to lay out co-operatives and the organisations around them, and show how they relate to each other. You do not need an account.
