150 years of history containing an important historical and cultural heritage. 150 years of history that combine past and present, learning how to read tomorrow.This is the goal of the Virtual Museum of Cooperation, which aims to connect the historical heritage of cooperation and make it available to the public.Many initiatives have been launched by cooperatives to add value to their history and their presence within their respective local areas; these will be gathered in the Cooperation Atlas of Emilia-Romagna.Many cooperatives have already produced historical knowledge experiences and various physical museum displays to account for highly complex entrepreneurial, social, and value-based histories.Thanks to the use of new digital and communication technologies, we want to build a network of these achievements through the creation of a Digital Museum, making historical assets and cooperative renewal experiences available to both a national and international audience.The development of this tool will also serve to cultivate our new identity, the result of collective reflection and action.In turn, the Virtual Museum will give rise to the Cooperation Atlas of Emilia-Romagna, which will highlight the relationship with local communities and the actual presence of cooperation.
