Visitors
to the Institute
|
 One
of the advantages of working at BCICS is meeting visitors from all
parts of the world. Many of these visitors host discussions about
co-operatives in which they are involved. For all of us here, it
is always a rewarding and encouraging diversion to sit for a few
minutes and hear about some of the interesting things taking place
in co-ops around the world.
We would like to thank the following people who have taken time
out of their busy schedule to visit: Ki-Woong Lee, Eui Sik Hwang,
Yong-Taek Kim, all from Korea, visited the Institute in June, and
met with Kathleen Gabelmann and Kristen Sinats. They were also given
a tour of the Island Farms Dairy, courtesy of Quality Control Manager
Norm Lim.
 James
Bell (right), of the School of Management Studies, University of
Surrey, gave a talk on the British Co-operative Movement. He is
also Editor of the Journal of Co-operative Studies.
Lily Laiw, the director of the Homemaker's Union and Foundation,
of Taipei, Taiwan, described her organisation's recent involvement
in develping co-ops to purchase unaudauterated foods, particularly
for people with limited income.
Helgi Skuli Kjartsson, a historian from Iceland presented a talk
on SIS, at one time the largest consumer co-op in Iceland. He discussed
with researchers the reasons why that organisation failed in the
early 1990s.
