Public presentation 12 March 2025

Starting a new thread for the new presentation, following up to this one: Next public presentation – 29 January 2025 - #53 by ugne

Hello all,

Registrations are still very low, so I would be grateful if we could look into more ways to reach more people.

Flyer tour in Jette

@Odile, are you still open to do a big tour in Jette? If yes, and if you would enjoy the company of some partners-in-crime, can you please create a post and make it happen? Doer decides of course, so equally fine if you’d rather go alone.

Facebook

I flagged earlier on that I would like to give up the task of spreading the word on Facebook. This task includes creating an event on Facebook, sharing the event in a couple of groups (e.g. Jette douce et solidaire) and posting a message to get attention every once and a while. So far there have been no takers though.

@alberto and @ugne, as the Coordinators of @reef-external and @reef-recruitment, would you be willing to help find somebody who could take over this task?
Or @Sophie_B is this maybe something Manoj would be willing to take up? You indicated something earlier on about online communication, so I figured this may be something?

Bruzz

@Jeroen I didn’t fully follow the conversation about Bruzz and how this is going. I just wanted to flag that now that the presentation is postponed, it would be a gift of the gods if we could get an article.
If ever you’d get in touch with your contact person, a couple of things you could mention could include:

  • Unique situation in which there are now two cohousings looking for new people (Volta XL and us)
  • Abbeyfield (cohousing for people +50 of age) has a couple of cohousings in Brussels
  • If Calico hasn’t featured yet, there’s a lot of cool stories there (Community Land Trust, birth and death house, …)
  • Wooncoop is trying to launch their own project in Brussels, so far without success but it will surely work out one day.
  • Our own architects now live in their own cohousing for almost 15 years

Indeed, Manoj already got in touch with Manuel. He is happy to take up the Facebook job - can I direct him towards you about the details?

@Lee @manuelpueyo will you send out an updated news letter with the new date?

Yes, I’m still up to do a big tour in Jette. I can do it on Friday. I’m busy finding some associations, schools and cultural centres to go to and will create a post after that. I have a few posters and some leaflets. That should be ok for the start.

Hi @Manoj and welcome to the forum!

I don’t mean to put any pressure on you, but the communication about the presentation is a bit urgent. Would you be willing to indicate when you could take this on? No wrong answers.

@manuelpueyo this is also very urgent now. Would you be willing to make the time for this?

Here’s the text that I have prepared: Login – Nextcloud


@reef-recruitment, only 7 registrations in 9 days has me deeply worried. Would you be willing to look into other ways to spread the word?

@Lee Thanks :slight_smile: Sure. The admin of the facebook page needs to give me permission to create an event. I can create an event therafter, and post once the content is proofread by someone.

We’ll talk about it this evening…

Hi @Manoj !! Welcome! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

When you’ve done the post, could you post the link on the chitchatters? I don’t have Facebook but I can fwd it on signal/WhatsApp (and I might miss a message on the forum as we are going on holiday, which is why I’m asking for this favour). Many thanks!!
