The idea of a housing cooperative is only the first step. In order for this vision to become a real housing project, you need the right team, a solid financial model and a clear organizational plan.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to an intensive <strong>practical workshop &#8220;From Idea to Project&#8221;<\/strong>, where we will walk the path from the initial idea to the concrete draft of the cooperative neighborhood under professional guidance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are we going to do at the workshop?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The workshop is designed in a very practical way, so we will focus on four key phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Forming groups:<\/strong> It all starts with people. You will meet like-minded people with whom you share values and learn how to establish a solid and cohesive core of the future cooperative.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drafting a Housing Cooperative:<\/strong> With the help of templates, we will draft a charter and a basic vision for your project, which will serve as the &#8220;constitution&#8221; of your future community.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial and organizational model:<\/strong> You will learn how to set up a realistic financial plan \u2013 from collecting your own inputs to finding external sources of financing and creating management rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Presentation of projects and discussion:<\/strong> Each group will present its draft in front of other participants and experts. This is a valuable opportunity for constructive criticism, exchange of experiences and networking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The workshop is ideal for individuals and groups who already have a developed idea, as well as for those who are just exploring the possibilities of cooperative living and want to gain practical knowledge first-hand. Cooperatives require courage and cooperation. The workshop will give you the tools to confidently stand in front of municipal authorities, banks and investors in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Participation is free, the number of places is limited \u2013 register as soon as possible!<\/p>\n<p>Registration and information: <a href=\"mailto:epeka@epeka.si\">epeka@epeka.si<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Where?
