IN PRACTICE: IFM-SEI always ensures that communication is done in English, Spanish and French and that translation is provided in meetings, so that activities are not restricted to English-speaking participants only. The IFM-SEI secretariat also makes digital files accessible for people with visual impairments.
COOPERATION NOT COMPETITION Only if people look after each other, work together and develop ideas in the spirit of solidarity will society develop in a positive way. Cooperation is powerful because we can create better things when we work together and learn from each other. And it is powerful because it is fair. When we cooperate, we don’t leave anyone behind. In cooperation, everyone contributes in whatever way they can in accordance with their needs, and everyone gets a fair share of the outcome. Socialist education promotes cooperation and cooperative activities over competition and competitive activities. Cooperation also means fighting the ideology of individualism.
