Between June 5 and 9, the Institut international des coopératives Alphonse-et-Dorimène-Desjardins welcomed 16 participants from the Unicred Central Geração credit union network. The participants attended several seminars at HEC Montréal on the theme of cooperatives, including their place in the Canadian financial system, as well as on the Desjardins Group – its history, evolution and governance. The group also visited the Portuguese Caisse populaire Desjardins. The training ended in Lévis, with a tour of the Cité de la Coopération Desjardins, the Maison Alphonse-Desjardins and the Société historique Desjardins.
