In this scenario, co -operatives is presented as a viable alternative that allows self -management, collective decision -making and fair revenue generation.

In addition, co -operativism encourages the recognition of cultural diversity as an added value. Cooperatives managed by immigrants often incorporate traditional knowledge, gastronomy and craft from countries of origin, offering innovative products and services that enrich the local economic fabric.

Diversity, far from being an obstacle, becomes a driver of change and innovation for society as a whole.
