Co-operative Housing in Focus: Highlights from ISHF 2025

"When I started here, there was quite a culture shock as I went from a large multicultural corporate environment that was high-octane and aggressive, to an organisation that really values and appreciates their staff. You are not taken for granted, you’re not just a number.” —Interview with Liana Unger, Risk and Compliance Officer

Thanks to the generous donations from Co-operative Housing Ireland and other institutions, three students from Cork City were given the opportunity to travel to Switzerland to attend the first European Student-led Housing Symposium in Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland. These students are members of a grassroots group who are looking to create a Student Housing Cooperative for third-level and apprenticeship students living in Cork City.
