Community

Good ideas grow in good company.

Our community starts with a conversation

A good book.
An open mind.
A seat at the table.

We read, ask questions and try useful ideas in everyday life. Join our open reading community at the Eco MICE design office. Everyone is welcome.

A question to bring

What helps a group become a community?

How we grow together
  1. Read and discuss.Bring a question or an idea from a book.
  2. Try one idea.Put something you learned into practice.
  3. Share what happened.Tell the group what worked and what was difficult.
  4. Welcome someone.Invite a curious person and help them take part.

Members bring different skills and experiences. Small groups can form around shared goals and bring their lessons back to the wider club.

One example is Growth Circle. It began as a group where members took turns receiving pooled savings. It now focuses on saving towards land.

Our technical hub

A place for shared skills.

Alongside the book club, we are growing a network of people offering different technical services. Our goal is to make the office a place to exchange knowledge, meet collaborators and build together.

Part of our growing network
