About The Atelier:

Opened in April 2018, the Mauril-Bélanger Social Innovation Workshop (The Atelier) is a co-working space where members have the opportunities for training, collaboration to start and consolidate their activities. The Atelier brings together and supports individuals and organizations committed to social justice: cooperatives, social and solidarity economy enterprises, community organizations, collectives and activist associations, etc.

Our non-profit organization is part of an ecosystem including the Élisabeth Bruyère School of Social Innovation and the Centre de recherche sur les innovations et les transformations sociales (CRITS).

Despite the pandemic, in 2020-2021 we increased our operating budget and expanded our team; generated new activities and partnerships, and developed our associative and democratic life from a self-management perspective. We seek applications from individuals who demonstrate knowledge and interest in organizational development and issues related to mobilization, associative life and horizontal management.

In 2022, our priority is to reopen our physical co-working space and to continue the major thrusts of our development.
