A dedicated exhibition named “Understanding our history to build a stronger future” was being displayed during the ICA 33rd World Cooperative Congress in Seoul, South Korea, to mark the 125th anniversary of ICA. The exhibition which showcased important milestones from the ICA’s history was also a snapshot of the birth of the global cooperative movement.
Produced by the ICA under the coordination of the Director of Legislation, Santosh Kumar, and the Director of Communication, Leire Luengo, and based on the publication under the same name they look at the first years of the ICA and feature testimonies of around 20 member organisations that were represented during the creation of the ICA in 1895, descriptions of past ICA Congresses, as well as an overview of the evolution of the cooperative principles since 1844.
