Inspired by a friend\u2019s positive experience, he saw the programme as a unique opportunity to explore how organisations operate in a di\ufb00erent cultural and economic context, particularly in Brussels, a city known for its arts and social innovation scene.<\/p><p>While researching host organisations, Cristiano discovered Communa ASBL and was immediately drawn to its mission, values, and impact in the \ufb01eld of temporary social occupation. He contacted Maxime Za\u00eft, co-founder of Communa, and they clicked immediately, having the same vision and goals for sustainability in the city. He felt aligned with social and cultural initiatives but lacked hands-on knowledge of governance and how to organise and manage an association of this scale without relying on traditional hierarchical models.<\/p><p><strong>Activities undertaken<\/strong><br \/>During the exchange, Cristiano actively engaged in the organisation\u2019s strategic and operational processes. He learned how the organisation functions through a shared governance model, gaining insight into collective decision-making systems that remain e\ufb03cient while staying aligned with social values.<\/p><p>Cristiano contributed by developing a governance manual to help structure internal processes. He also created pitch decks aimed at potential investors and partners, supporting Communa\u2019s sustainability e\ufb00orts. In addition, he followed the full development pipeline of new partnerships and projects of temporary social occupation, from early-stage concepts to implementation and stakeholder coordination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77b7b5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"77b7b5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bpcc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MaximeZait-Cristiano-SuccessStory.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-75753\" alt=\"Cristiano Lopes with Maxime Zait\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bpcc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MaximeZait-Cristiano-SuccessStory.png 600w, https:\/\/bpcc.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MaximeZait-Cristiano-SuccessStory-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-160f85b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"160f85b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Bene\ufb01ts achieved<\/strong><br \/>The exchange generated tangible bene\ufb01ts for both Cristiano and Communa ASBL. For Communa, Cristiano\u2019s involvement resulted in a documented overview of its shared governance model. <br \/>Through Cristiano\u2019s engagement with the Portuguese cultural and social entrepreneurship ecosystem, Communa increased its visibility in Portugal and identi\ufb01ed collaboration opportunities. Connections were established with Lisbon-based housing cooperative. In addition, Cristiano facilitated initial contact with three Lisbon-based investors potentially interested in supporting future social occupation projects, and developed presentation materials adaptable for future partnership and funding discussions.<\/p><p>For Cristiano, the exchange reinforced his ability to combine strategic e\ufb03ciency with value-driven governance, strengthening his con\ufb01dence to pursue socially engaged entrepreneurial projects at an international level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-530078b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"530078b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59e3614\" data-id=\"59e3614\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b04d1ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b04d1ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Quote from NE<\/strong><br \/>This experience showed me that it is possible to grow as a team, move forward towards a mission, and create real value without compromising my core values.<\/p><p><strong>Quote from HE<\/strong><br \/>Hosting Cristiano was a very positive experience.
