The name COOP marks our attachment to cooperation as a practice to organize life in common, economic life and cultural life in solidarity. Our vision is to move forward in the constitution of a true cooperative of services and consumption with people from our neighborhoods and all those who will want to join.To launch this ambitious program, in 2019, we have taken a first step with the creation of cooperative groups focused on different activities ( computer, traditional printing, cooking). The intention is to stimulate the meeting between the participants in these workshops and gradually the taking of cooperative initiatives to carry out activities together, buy goods together, develop projects together.At the beginning of 2020 we added an awareness and training program in which we welcome actors of cooperative projects.We are at the beginning, but our location in the heart of the Brussels district where the first Brussels cooperatives for bakeries and housing were born is a good omen. On the other side of the canal, the buildings of the former central bakery of the COOP network and the site of the former coal stores call out to us and show us the innovations and progress that are possible when people get together.
