For better visibility of all activists we set up a „Waste becomes Resource“ Group yesterday on Facebook. Two themes already popped up in the first few hours. Distribution of „books and furniture“ for and from coworking spaces. Regarding books we could for example set up an „International Coworking Library“. In the same way as coworking […]

The Spanish platform CoworkingSpain which promotes coworking for over 100 coworking spaces supports our „Waste becomes Resource“ Campaign on CoWorking News. This is great!!!

When you want to start a coworking space, it is always worthwhile to listen to those who have done it successfully before. One of those is Alex Hillman (Indy Hall). At last weeks Coworking Conference in Berlin Alex shared his experience with awt tv:
