Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are very pleased to inform you of the upcoming Bologna Summer Program for Co-operative Studies for 2007, and we invite you to explore this unique opportunity to pursue advanced level co-op studies in one of the world's most elegant cities. Bologna, world renowned for its exquisite cuisine and quality of life, is also at the heart of one of the world's most advanced co-operative economies.

The Bologna Summer Program for Co-operative Studies for 2007 gathers together outstanding scholars and leaders in the co-operative movements of both Italy and Canada to deliver a unique blend of co-operative theory and practical experience to program participants.

The program will offer graduate level instruction and, although will not require an undergraduate degree for admission, will be geared to those with substantial professional experience in the co-operative or community economic development fields.

The Bologna Summer Program offers both credit and certificate streams, and will combine co-operative studies with site visits and a study tour of the region's co-operative economy. It is also intended for students of co-op and CED studies who are prepared to work at advanced levels of study.

The Bologna Summer Program for Co-operative Studies is jointly sponsored by the BC Co-operative Association, Vancity, and the Faculty of Economics, University of Bologna
