International co-operative development has the power to help improve people's lives, and create sustainable, fair and equitable communities.

At our recent webinar: International co-operative development - a distinctive approach (held 29 November 2022), our panel our international experts shared their experiences of ICD, and debated issues including how ICD differs from a more traditional 'foreign-aid' approach to international development.

Our panel consisted of:

• Dr Sarah Alldred - Head of International Partnerships, Co-operative College
• LuAnn Werner - Deputy Executive Director - OCDC
• Danilo Salerno - Regional Director, ICA Co-operatives of the Americas
• Dr Sara Vicari - Founder of Aroundtheworld.coop

We're delighted to be able to provide a free recording of the webinar and additional resources for those who were unable to attend the event.
