About Us.
Freedom Dreams Co-operative Education is a co-operative development and education hub that shares knowledge and resources about co-operatives and the solidarity economy from an intersectional Black, Indigenous and Person of Colour (BIPOC) perspective.
Our vision is to see communities of colour launch co-operatives that create equitable, sustainable and dignified employment, contribute to the economic development of their communities and foster equity, diversity and inclusion within Canada’s co-op sector.
To arrive at this freedom dream, we will empower people and communities with knowledge about the histories and current-day experiences of co-operation among the BIPOC diaspora so they can see themselves reflected in the co-op movement. Working together, we will share know-how to ideate, launch and operate co-operative projects and businesses so those reflections can become realities.
We do co-op education.
We do training, online and in-person workshops and consulting to support your co-op in its development, to support organizations in embodying co-operative values.
Check out our Transformation On Our Own Terms workshop series available on our YouTube channel.
We do workshops, consulting and keynote presentations. Just ask our past clients.

We were fortunate to sit down with Neha Chollangi to chat about our research, our work and why it’s significant to redefine what co-operatives and co-operation looks like from an intersectional and cultural inclusion lens.
