Language: Spanish and English

Cooperation and participation are necessary when developing democracy in societies and businesses. The session focuses on how new forms of cooperation contribute to modern sustainable alternatives mobilizing participation in democratic decision making. Alternative organisational forms support democratic management and networking with people and organisations locally and globally using social relationships. The structure of organisations and its contribution to development of democratic management is an emerging ethical and challenging issue. Collaborative organisational models can be considered as sustainable participatory initiatives leading to equality.
