Dear Cooperator,
2025 is a historic year for our movement. The United Nations has declared it the International Year of Cooperatives—a perfect moment to show the world how cooperatives are building a fairer, more sustainable future for all.
To mark this celebration, we’re launching a global social media series called “A Day in the Life of a Cooperator”—and we’d love for you to be featured!
This series will spotlight everyday cooperators like you by sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of your day-to-day work. These authentic stories will help people everywhere better understand cooperatives and the difference we make.
🎥 What We Need From You (First Step)
To be considered for the takeover series, please send us one short selfie video (max 60 seconds) with the following:
- Introduce yourself as if you're already doing the takeover
Example:
“Hi! I’m [Your Name] from [Your Coop] in [Country], and I’m doing a social media takeover this week!” - Tell us what you do in your cooperative
Just a few sentences explaining your daily work, role, or what makes your coop special. - Also send us a written version of your message (just the text you said).
This helps us preview your story and voice, and lets our social media managers plan the full content calendar.
✅ Simple Guidelines
- Your content must be ready for upload. Please edit your own videos and make appropriate cuts.
- Use your phone in good lighting, record in portrait mode (vertical).
- Do not add your own music.
- Speak in your local language if that’s most comfortable, but add English subtitles to your videos/photos or send us the script as a document file.
- Keep it real and authentic. Your story, your voice.
📤 Where to Send Your Content
- Send your file or link (Google Drive / Dropbox / WeTransfer) to: jayveempangan@gmail.com
- Or send via WhatsApp in HD resolution: +4552784670 (Jay-vee Marasigan Pangan)
🕒 Deadline
Send your content by June 6th.
If selected, we’ll reach out with next steps to guide you through sending more content (photos, short clips, captions). Your story will be shared on our social media as part of the 2025 UN International Year of Cooperatives campaign.
Thank you for helping make cooperation visible in 2025!
