WikiVillage rents a large hall and modular meeting and training rooms for team days, seminars and conferences of 15 to 100 people. It is a community workplace of 7,500 m² at 8 rue de Srebrenica in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, run by the social investor ETIC and home to more than 30 organisations working on social and environmental innovation.
Seminars and company events
The event offer is built for working days rather than receptions. The building has a large hall and several meeting or training rooms that can be rearranged. Each room is equipped with Wi-Fi, paperboards, video projectors and projection screens or TVs. Extra services are available as options, to be agreed with the team. The rooms fit team days, workshops, trainings, seminars and conferences.
Because the building hosts organisations of the social and solidarity economy, the place suits associations, foundations, cooperatives, public bodies and companies that want a setting in line with their own values. The community is open at all hours for its residents, but event bookings are handled separately by room and by day.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages do not offer weddings or private parties. The venue is presented for professional use only.
Rooms and capacities
The event rooms range from 27 to 118 m² and hold between 15 and 100 people, depending on the room and layout. The main entrance hall has more than 150 m² and is used for events. The site does not publish room names, so ask the team for the plan and the exact capacity of each room when you send a request. Outdoor areas include a planted terrace of more than 600 m² and a garden of 300 m², though the site does not say that they can be booked for events.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms. Visitors stay in nearby Paris hotels.
Catering
The site does not describe a catering offer. Tea and coffee areas exist on each floor for the residents. For an event meal, ask the team whether you may bring your own caterer.
History and setting
The building was designed as a vertical village on seven levels, dedicated to social and environmental innovation and urban resilience. It offers offices, coworking, flexible floors, meeting rooms, a commercial unit, a health centre and a planted roof terrace. The neighbourhood is Saint-Blaise, in the east of Paris, an area that is still changing and where the building acts as a local relay for associations and residents.
Getting there
The address is in the Saint-Blaise district of the 20th arrondissement, on the eastern edge of Paris. The building has bicycle parking and showers, which helps for teams that arrive by bike. Check the nearest metro and tram stops with the team when you book.
