It comprises over 50 community organizations and has more than 1,500 members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, they take care of one another and provide each other with: health care, food markets, agriculture, funeral services, a school, a savings bank, and even more businesses\u2014thus supporting hundreds of thousands of people. Cecosesola deliberately operates without fixed hierarchies, with rotating roles and consensus-based decision-making. In 2022, they were awarded the Right Livelihood Award (\u201calternative Nobel Prize\u201d), in part for their long-standing resilience and strength, even during economic crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 5 and 6, Commons researchers Sigi and Luis will share their insights and discuss with us what they found during their visits at Cecosesola\u2019s cooperatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The event is being held in cooperation with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impuls-akademie.org\" target=\"_self\">Impuls Akademie<\/a>\u2014save the date: <strong>April 4th to10th, 2027!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6052\" src=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cecosesola-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6053\" src=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_003.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6051\" src=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/tippingpoints.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/signal-2026-09-14-17-47-01-053_004.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Als Warm-Up Event f\u00fcr Tipping Points #13 (&#8222;Widerstand miteinand&#8217;&#8220;) im November laden wir euch herzlich zu einem spannenden Abend und einen vertiefenden Workshop rund um die widerst\u00e4ndigen Praktiken der Kooperative Cecosesola in Venezuela ein.
