In the year in which the Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives (OCB) turns 55 years old, Brasília hosts, from May 14th to 16th, the 15th edition of the Brazilian Congress of Cooperatives (CBC). Considered the most important in the sector, the event this time proposes a challenge: planning and building, together, the future we want for Brazilian cooperatives. At the congress, major decisions are made and the direction of the movement is defined. The OCB itself emerged from a consensus during the 4th CBC, in 1969.
