The 16th Regional Assembly of the International Cooperative Alliance Asia and Pacific (ICA A-P) was held in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, from November 6 to November 9, with the slogan “Cooperatives: Our Common Agenda.”

Following prior years, the cultural and educational cooperative of Rah-E-Roshd had a prominent role in this event, with Ms. Anahita Eslahpazir, the managing director of Rah-E Roshd Cultural and Educational Cooperative, being one of the main speakers.

In their speech, “The Relationship between Diversity and the Performance of Cooperatives,” they talked about the impact of diversity in Iran’s cooperatives, especially Rah-E-Roshd. They also attended the women’s committee gathering and the meeting arranged by the CICOPA organization.

Diana Movassaghi, a Rah-E-Roshd graduate, attended the ICA education committee and the youth committee gathering and provided ample clarification regarding the methods of education, future goals, and the educational approaches taken by Rah-E Roshd while acting as a secondary representative during this event.
