The Co-operative College (in Manchester) and Sheffield Business School (at Sheffield Hallam University) are exploring the possibility of running joint UK based post-graduate level programmes on Co-operative Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship.

Our intention is to reach people working in the co-operative and social economy internationally who want to develop co-operative leadership approaches and behaviours, and who are interested in socially entrepreneurial approaches to working and organising.

The programme is primarily concerned with:

• leadership in the contemporary co-operative movement
• collective approaches to entrepreneurship
• the development of a social economy
• social entrepreneurship that supports decent work and sustainable development

The programme will encourage a reflective and scholarly approach to developing co-operative leadership practices, responsible management and the achievement of sustainable development goals.

Regardless of your own qualifications, as someone associated in some way with the co-operative movement and social economy, we would be really grateful if you could take a little time to complete this short questionnaire. We value your views and input.

It is our view that these are exciting times for co-operative and social business models and that we need to revisit in a robust way the educational options for co‑operative leaders and managers who want to engage in social entrepreneurship to meet local, regional and international development. Thus the aim of this survey is to ‘test the water' to assess demand for a new programme.

Please complete the survey by 15th April:
