Abstract
This paper deals with the importance of cooperative education of the members and actors linked to the cooperative sector. It is intended to highlight the need for education on the values and principles of cooperativism, at the same level as the economic development of the cooperative. The results of an education process are exposed to associates and actors related to the cooperative sector in a Cuban municipality. The results are related to the educational proposal developed. The actions were deployed on two levels: at the level of local actors and inside the cooperatives. In the latter case, cooperatives from the non-agricultural sector, recently established or formed in Cuba. In the process, local actors and cooperatives are made aware of the importance of seeing cooperativism as a movement whose ideology is based on its values and principles. These results were part of the actions of the project "Promotion of local and territorial economic development from the Municipal Governments and local institutions in the updating of the Cuban economic model", deployed from 2012 to 2015 and financed by Norwegian Popular Aid.Downloads
