• Participating in building or neighborhood assemblies, and communicating regularly with the delegate for your building/neighborhood
• Applying as a building or neighborhood delegate, concierge or coordinator to provide a link between residents and the work team
• Organizing events or activities, taking part in community projects and ensuring the upkeep of common areas and good neighborliness.

 

3. Within your shared apartment

Living at La Ciguë means sharing an apartment with other people and ensuring that we live together well. This means:

• Respectful use of your room and communal areas
• Participation in household chores, maintenance of the accommodation, roommate meetings and room assignments. To benefit from the experience of other housemates and for advice, you can consult our practical guides
• Co-building a caring and inclusive climate within the shared apartment, encouraging dialogue and preventing discriminatory behavior.

 

To support co-operators’ initiatives and the organization of events, La Ciguë provides budgets to encourage participation!
