About this Event

Explore how Cohousing can build community, tackle loneliness, and create sustainable living - with Portaferry Cohousing, Northern Ireland's first Cohousing development.

What if our homes could help rebuild community, tackle loneliness, and make living more sustainable? Cohousing is a growing global movement where people design and manage their neighbourhoods together — combining private homes with shared spaces and a strong sense of connection.

This talk and panel discussion will explore how cohousing could reshape the future of housing in Northern Ireland, with a spotlight on Portaferry Cohousing, the first project of its kind here. Hear from those involved in the project and from housing and community experts as they discuss how we can create homes that help us live better, together.
