 International Co-operative DayThe first Saturday in JulyIn 1921, at the International Co-operative Congress of World Co-op Leaders wanted to identify and define the growing co-operative movement's common values and ideals to help unite co-ops around the world. They decided to hold a special event to celebrate the movement's growing diversity.

  In Essen, Germany in 1922, ICA (国际合作联盟)leaders made plans for the very first international "Co-operators' Day" which was held in July 1923. Since then, on the first Saturday every July, International Co-operative Day has been celebrated. The day is a chance for co-op members and supporters to work together and promote the co-op movement's successes and ideals of international solidarity(团结), economic efficiency, equality, and world peace. To celebrate the Centennial(百年纪念)of the International Co-operative Alliance, the United Nations declared in 1995 that the first Saturday of July to be celebrated as the United Nations International Day of Co-operatives and requested all member governments to join with their co-operative movements to celebrate the day.

  Over several years various national movements were trying to register the Rainbow Flag as a trade mark, seeking ICA help in finding out arguments to prove that the flag is a distinctive(与众不同的、有特色的)symbol, reserved to the co-op movement. For us, co-operators it is, but in fact, it has never been registered as the ICA symbol.

  After the Basel Congress in 1921, which was the first congress to be held after an interruption of eight years caused by the Great World War and facing the new challenges in Europe, the ICA Executive Committee decided to devote some time to Co-operative Propaganda. The membership had grown dramatically, thus, the idea was to find a point of rally(集合、集会) which would give an identity to movements scattered(分散) from Japan to Canada.

  The political map, and most singularly(特别地,异常地)Europe's political map, changed to such an extension that it become urgent to find some common denominator(共同特性)for all the different co-operative traditions. At the same time the established co-operatives suffered attacks from fascist and communist

  parties both of which claimed "property rights" on co-op doctrine(主义、学说)and incidentally on co-op assets.
