Inspiring co-operative enterprise through education
Co-operative Education Trust Scotland (CETS) is a charitable
education trust dedicated to the promotion of co-operation and
co-operative enterprise. It carries this out through a programme of
education within schools across Scotland.
CETS operates a unique service to schools in Scotland called
Co-operate to Succeed (CtS). CtS works with the Determined to
Succeed strategy of the Scottish Government to bring the unique
attributes of a co-operative approach to enterprise in
education.
Scotmid has two representatives on the Board of CETS and this
year (2011-2012) will provide £20,000 of funding.
Tools for schools
CETS provides a wide range of resources and support for those
interested in exploring the benefits of adopting the co-operative
approach for use in schools-based education. These fantastic
resources covering topics such as healthy eating, fair trade,
ethics, environment, citizenship and recycling can be downloaded
