Cooperative Oasis

Coorpérative Oasis

Vision and Mission

Throughout France, citizen collectives are creating new ecological and supportive places called eco-hamlets, participatory habitats, collective farms, third places… We call them oases. Coopérative Oasis supports those who live or wish to live in these ecological places and collectives, the oases. It reveals the reality of the thousand projects existing today in France, and the possibilites to stay or settle there. The Cooperative supports those who want to create their own place. Finally, Oasis creates a link between places so that they become aware that they are part of a real network they can count on. The Cooperative thus allows another mode of life to emerge, a more intense, sober and happy way of living in the world.

About

The social enterprise with 11 employees offers support on legal and financial questions as well as those arising in the social dimension of regeneration. Their financial model has contributed to the development of French“oases” with over 5.5 million Euros and is an inspiration for many other networks and collectives.
