Yes, @Jeroen , online indeed.
Today we will all be in Namur and we can touch base. If @joannes wants to participate after all we will reschedule. If not, he and @Odile (who works evenings, so no meetings for her) can maybe contribute ideas in writing on this thread.
Hello all, so the result from yesterday is:
So: @Jeroen and @manuelpueyo , which other slots could you suggest in the coming weeks?
And: can I ask everybody, and especially @joannes and @Odile , to suggest in this thread any ideas they might have to submit to the brainstorming?
I came across this page:
Wij in de buurt – Cohousing Bijgaardehof
Consider that they are much larger than we are and have been in operation since September 2022.
From the list of activities:
Impressive! Good catch.
Great initiative Alberto! Did you receive any answer from restless.brussels? I agree with you that we need to increase the visibility of The Reef in the expat community.
Any of you know this organisation: cOarchi | Coarchi ? They seem to help some cohousing project to find suitable candidates for their projects.
i am quite flexible as long as it’s online
Yes, we know them. They are basically a company that runs the project for you: find the site, recruit the group, facilitate the meetings etc. We decided to go self-managed, though.
Another idea: go for coffee with Alessandro Rancati, Brussels Chapter, New European Bauhaus, and explore what resources and networks they have. We are associated to the NEB already.
@Lee, your “crisis setup” could be framed as an innovation project and funded throught the NEB Facility (maybe…).
Let’s move the @reef-external meeting to 2025.
Update on this: it turns out the Brussels chapter of the New European Bauhaus is meeting on Jan 13 on Zoom. I signed up for the meeting, the event and Zoom link are on our shared meetings calendar on Nextcloud.
hi, I must suspend my participation in Team external due to too much going in Team building. With regret.
Understood, and kudos for focusing on your/our priorities.
Ping @Jeroen on this – I realized you had not been added to @reef-external , so you are not getting the notifications. Fixed now.
there is a mistake, i assume you are talking about monday 6th
OK, looking at the poll it seems the best slot is on Sunday at 19.00. Hope you can make it too, @Jeroen, if not please flag it.
I sent you all an invitation. Link on the calendar event, as usual.

@Jeroen there’s a task in there that should be right up your street, can you have a look?
Could look into this indeed!
I had a look at BATIBOUW. It is happening from the 15 to the 23rd February. It looks like all the exhibitors will be professionals involved in construction or renovation (building materials, lighting, plumbing, pergolas, heating systems, interior decoration, etc…). More like finding compagnies for our building site.
They also have conferences and workshops for people interested in doing their own renovations.
Overall, I think that attending this fair could only be beneficial for both DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to hire professionals for their projects.
Yes, the only one that looks directly interesting to us is the one on façades végétales. Maybe we can just skip it. (moving these posts away as they are not about ECOLISE)
