Founded in 2019, Collectif 52 was born from an idea shared among friends over drinks at the Jetée de la Compagnie: there was a lack of a gathering place in Mont-sur-Lausanne. At the time, young people from Mont-sur-Lausanne mainly met in Lausanne or simply gathered on a bench in their village.

The Collective has therefore set itself the mission of creating a friendly place for young people, with regular events to liven up local life.

More than an event organizer, Collectif 52 embodies an adventure between friends, valuing the simplicity of shared moments: music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Being Multigenerational

Our main strength is offering events that bring together all generations. We create inclusive experiences so that everyone, regardless of age or taste, can find something to enjoy and fully enjoy.

We've taught ourselves everything, which drives us to move forward with boldness and determination. Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit, we're not afraid to dream big.

Each project thus becomes a true human adventure.

MORE TO BE ADDED

Since 2019, each project has allowed us to grow and refine our vision to meet the expectations of the community.

Collective 52 sets no limits: we want to take our projects as far as possible and continue to dream big. "If you want, you can" is our motto for realizing new ambitions.

We love giving objects a second life and rediscovering forgotten places. As a craft collective, we see potential in every space and every object. Transforming elements of the past to create today's events brings a unique and authentic touch to each encounter.
