The Co-operative Village Nyvang

 

In The Co-operative Village Nyvang you may see and experience the framework of the period in which the co-operative movement had its heyday from 1870 – 1950.

The idea behind the co-operative movement is quite simply that several people co-operate on a task that a single person cannot complete alone. Together you obtain venture capital – afterwards you share both profits and losses. You can solve larger assignments and secure a better and more consistent quality – or through big purchasing get a better price and larger selection. The co-operative movement succeeded all over Denmark and created many new opportunities. Not least it entailed new jobs in the villages.
