Thanks to Mindaugas Danys we can present you the „Entrepreneurs Church“ described in the article of arcticstartup. We believe this new coworking space which starts „extended“ operation on the 10th of January with „Startup Tuesdays“ fits very well into our series of creative environments with its motto: „have fun and play with ideas“. Three elements are […]

SOCAP (Social Capital Markets) has announced the dates for two of their major events this year: SOCAP/Europe in Malmö (Sweden) will take place 8th to 10th of May and SOCAP12 in San Francisco (CA) will take place 1st to 4th of October 2012.  To get a good idea about these events see the video below. For […]

Now we have scientific evidence by Margaret Chatham Crofoot and Ian C. Gilby that small groups have a competitive advantage over larger groups. Translated in terms of changing the world: Small groups like coworking spaces or action groups have a competitive advantage over society as a whole in bringing about a change. Here is what […]

Neal Gorenflo of Shareable had a wonderful idea: Introduce a calendar that celebrates dates of citizenship, the commons, and sharing. We feel that this is an excellent addition to the „Open International CoWorking Calendar„. In cooperation with Neal we like to collect your suggestions of which dates we should add. Please comment below and check […]

Inspired by Marit Larsen´s song „If a song could get me you“ and my long-held conviction that coworking and radio can benefit hugely from another I like to ask whether 2012 will see „Coworking Radio“ come alive?

For the gifted songwriters among us, maybe someone likes to offer a „coworking related text“ 😉 to sing […]

We wish you a Merry XMAS!!! Beautiful days or hours with your families and friends!!! Enjoy and sing together in the best coworking tradition :-)))

Leading up to XMAS and during the holidays we will turn off our TVs 😉 following Noam Chomsky´s good advice (see video below) to have more time to ourselves and to gain fresh insights for the new year. Join us if you like. (Thank you David McConville for sharing and The Juice Media Rap News for […]

Zack Hirschfeld, an activist in our campaign, pointed me to this very powerful concept of cradle-to-cradle design. Imagine what it is like when „Waste becomes Resource“ is not an afterthought but already part of the initial design process!!! How!!! Underneath you find William McDonough´s TED talk in half (for people with little time). The full […]

Following our article of the „Crowd-starting dancer“ I like to present what I believe is part 2 to this story: The dancer or the dancing crowd being inspired by another crowd or dancer. Chris Anderson in his TED Talk below makes a very strong case for „Video Driven Innovation“. One dancer being inspired by the […]
