Co-create living together
We share the vision of a world where we choose cooperation in the articulation of I-We .
We act to find accommodation, live out our desires and strengthen our ties, without seeking real estate speculation. We believe that another way of living together is possible, made up of mutual aid, intergenerational conviviality and collective projects... What we call cooperation .
This is why today we support groups in the realization and monitoring of their projects and we also intervene in collectives which encounter difficulties in bringing joy and confidence .
Contribute to the joyful contagion of cultures of cooperation in the service of life!
We are an association committed to the creation, transformation and sustainability of collective living spaces; we support groups in understanding and simplifying the legal, financial, governance and pooling mechanisms of financial resources useful for creating cooperative, resilient, ecological and joyful living spaces!
Make joy
our compass
We walk in the culture of cooperation, being guided by what gives us joy and confidence. These two emotions are keys to building healthy relationships with others and releasing our own energy .
A collective project is a path to follow where we meet others, but above all ourselves. There are stones that we hit and which sometimes cause us to trip. We believe that by cultivating joy, everyone can surpass themselves and together, we can go further.
“Joy is in everything; you just have to know how to extract it.” Confucius
Our actions
A collective project requires complex and sometimes dry knowledge: Legal, Financial, Governance and Relations . We are committed to allowing you to take ownership of these mechanisms to sustain your eco-site and contribute to the autonomy of the group . We believe that cooperation can then exist in the sovereignty and empowerment of each person.
