After visiting Denmark and the Netherlands in 2025, 20 cooperatives affiliated with the Romanian National Branch Union of Cooperatives in the Vegetable Sector (UNCSV) travelled to Germany in February 2026. HollandDoor was part of the organizing team, tasked with inspiring the cooperatives in areas such as cooperative governance, marketing and product branding.
The visit was part of a multi-year project funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme. HollandDoor’s project partner BICS Berlin Institute for Co-Operative Studies – part of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin – put together a diverse programme featuring presentations, workshops and insights into the history and current challenges facing German cooperatives, with a focus on collective purchasing and product marketing in the crop sector. The programme also included site visits to both well-established and newly founded cooperatives in the state of Brandenburg.
