The Mondragón Cooperatives, located in the Basque region of Spain, are the largest and most successful consortium of worker-owned businesses in the world. 


Starting with one small coop nearly 60 years ago, today Mondragón includes 120 cooperatives and about 85,000 worker-owners.


Presenter Georgia Kelly, the Founder and Director of Praxis Peace Institute will share her knowledge and experiences about Mondragon and how its principles can be applied in the United States.


Come and be inspired by this rare opportunity to find out how this new economic model manages to thrive despite Spain's economic woes. Be inspired by a real alternative to capitalism!

We have failed our kids who are now in their 20s. The jobs they should have are not there and no oneRead More seems to care. What you are seeing is the underground economy, which is how they survive. No, it's not good, but it is how they are surviving. Talk to your Congressional representatives! They want real jobs and real lives!
You are fun!

I think that showing The Hunger Games in this venue is a mistake. These outdoor family film showingsRead More do attract families, and frequently families with younger children. It would be close to child abuse to permit a younger child to watch this movie. Not so sure it would be a good idea for teens either. I believe that this choice was not well thought out. I hope it can be changed to something that would be beneficial for all ages to see. For example, I recommend a film called "Like Stars on Earth" directed by Aamir Khan. A very moving and thoughtful film.
