Doble Via Cooperativa

What Doble Via Cooperativa does

Doble Via Cooperativa (legal name: Doble Via Serveis Socioeducatius SCCL) is a Catalan worker cooperative founded in 1999 and headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. It provides integrated advisory and management services in social action, culture, education, socio-cultural animation, and community development for municipalities, schools, parent associations (AMPA/AFAs), and organizations across Catalonia. Core service lines include Menja Sa (school canteen management with educational accompaniment), Serveis a Ajuntaments (municipal programs covering youth, elderly, gender equality, and social action), Serveis a AFAs i Escoles (nursery schools and eco-canteens), Cooperatives d'Alumnes (a student cooperative education program managed under the Generalitat de Catalunya's Aracoop framework, with 119 cooperatives and ~3,000 participants for 2025-2026), SIAD (psychological care for women facing sexist violence), Punts Lila (safe-space programs at festivals), and Consultoria (advisory services for organizations on social responsibility and community engagement).

The cooperative is structured as a SCCL (societat cooperativa catalana limitada) with 18 member-owners and 125-200+ workers depending on the source vintage. Its technology stack is not a differentiator: services are delivered largely on-site (canteens, classrooms, municipal facilities) supported by a generic virtual campus (Espai de Formació) and a digital services portal (DVirtual). The cooperative holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (TÜV Rheinland, certificate 9001-EA01249-CT), is a founding member of NAIA Foundation, holds a board seat at the Federació de Cooperatives de Treball de Catalunya (FCTC), and runs the Premi Raimon Badia award for non-formal education and cooperativism (7th edition in 2026).

Revenue is generated entirely through professional-services contracts: primarily public tenders with Catalan municipalities, direct contracts with schools and parent associations, and consultancy engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contract economics flow through public procurement and direct negotiation. No external investors, no funding rounds, and no parent-company ownership are indicated, consistent with the cooperative's member-owned, self-financing structure.
