WHERE IS MESOPOTAMIA?
The cradle of civilisation, Mesopotamia - the ‘land between two rivers’ - covers parts of modern day Syria, Turkey and Iraq. It's an older name for the region which predates nation states. This website focuses of the regions now in Turkey and Syria.
WHAT’S HAPPENING?
In North and East Syria (Rojava) and southeast Turkey (Bakur), a revolutionary social movement based on the three pillars of radical democracy, women's freedom and ecology is transforming society and life.
WHY CO-OPERATIVES?
Co-operatives are a democratic form of ownership and management used all around the world for centuries. There are many different models and traditions. In Rojava and Bakur, small and large co-ops are being set up, aiming to develop a communal economy and women's collective self-reliance.
