#Plus20

About this event
You don’t necessarily have to share the same interests or motivations to cooperate. But how do you make it happen in practice? How can we act together when our intentions, positions or interests differ? How can we move beyond competition and create genuine collaborative work in Marseille? This is the question we invite you to explore together at our annual #Plus20 event, dedicated to cooperation this year.
To understand these dynamics, the research-action lab on the cooperative process
l’InsTerCoop
explores the interactions between three dimensions: the group (we), individuals (I) and territory (where). These dimensions respond to, influence and transform one another. The lab has observed, for example, that residents of areas where people demonstrate a certain degree of creativity (in the design of public spaces, for instance) are themselves more likely to take initiative.
Yet much of what happens in cooperative processes remains invisible. Behaviors, perceptions, habits, tensions and even subtle signals shape our relationships without us always being aware of it. Learning to cooperate also means learning to recognize these implicit mechanisms, so we can better understand what brings us together and what may hold us back.
Towards a shared project
In 2021, Inter-Made and La Ruche Marseille began moving closer together. After being supported by Inter-Made in 2013, La Ruche Marseille went on to develop its activities independently. Over time, the two organizations realized that they were part of the same ecosystem and that their activities complemented each other. Their teams then began working together, getting to know one another and gradually building a relationship of trust.
This momentum laid the foundations for a shared organization in 2023, built around shared missions and a common purpose: to drive social and environmental change through transformative entrepreneurial initiatives, contributing to an ecologically and socially just and safe region.
In July 2026, Inter-Made, La Ruche Marseille and Az’Up, Inter-Made’s branch in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, made their union official by adopting the name
combo
. A nod to the world of games, where combining several cards multiplies the possibilities. It also illustrates our belief that by bringing together our strengths, differences and ideas, we can open up new perspectives.
This year, #Plus20 will therefore be an opportunity to celebrate the cooperative journey combo has made, and to imagine new ways of cooperating and acting together in Marseille.
