From the 16th of July until the 31st of August 2011 I will take my summer holiday.

One of my dreams has come true: Coworking in a Shopping Mall. Exactly 2 years ago today, when the German department store chain „Karstadt“ (which has been saved since) had filed for bankruptcy, we had the same dream. Now in Vilnius (Lithuania) Hub Vilnius opened a coworking space in a shopping mall right in the center of town. Mindaugas […]

Start coworking, you do not necessarily need a regular coworking space to do so.  In Wuppertal, a city close to the urban Ruhr-Area in Germany, there is a growing Coworking Community, not yet with a fixed coworking space.
