In a train, on our way to Berlin: there are two important events for MOBA happening there this week.
First, tonight kicks off a gathering convened by Mietshäuser Syndikat, the German umbrella organization of self-organized housing (almost 200 of them) of non-profit type, with the aim of launching a European network (and founding a cooperative, SCE) of community-led housing organizations! Exciting, right? As a unique regional umbrella organization, MOBA members are invited to be one of the founders of Community spaces network. In addition to Ana Džokić and Marc Neeilen from Smarter building (Belgrade), Zsuzsanna Pósfai from ACRED (Budapest) and Goran Jeras from Cooperative for Ethical Financing (Zagreb) will be participating in this memorable meeting on behalf of MOBA.
Than, we will be part of a workshop: International financing of young housing cooperatives in Central and Eastern Europe held in Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin and co-organized with IWO Housing initiative Eastern Europe, MOBA housing, LiM Living Metropolises SCE, University of Jena.
Coming together to make an effort in creating better, affordable, community-led housing throughout Europe. Good times.
