[Coworking] Introducing: Core Values Discussions

2014-01-06 Thread Jacob Sayles
Happy New Year!

A lot happened in Barcelona at the last Coworking Europe conference.  The
day after the conference we held an all day Open Coworking Focus Group
where we discussed what the group has achieved in the past two years, and
where we want to go in the future.  We talked a lot about all the
possibilities and opportunities, and rallied around the understanding that
the most important thing we can do is to keep the core values in the
ongoing conversation about Coworking.

The secret to Coworking's impact lies in its core values: Collaboration,
Openness, Community, Accessibility  Sustainability.

During 2014, Open Coworking will host a series of talks with coworking
managers and coworkers from around the world. *We will start with a session
about Collaboration*, with coworkers and managers from Coworking Ontario
and New Work City in New York.  This will be a live global online broadcast
on *Thursday, January 16 at 7:00pm EST*. We will discuss and debate what
collaboration means to us, and we will share our experiences of
collaboration between coworkers and coworking communities.

Find out more details about this series at http://coworking.org/talks/

This is the first of many and there are many ways to participate.  Host a
local discussion in your space either live, or later when we get the talks
posted.  Email Tony Bacigalupo (t...@nwc.co) if you have ideas or want to
participate in future broadcasts.  Also let him know if you are hosting
something locally, or blogging about this and we'll get it all up on the
website.

Thank you everyone!  2014 is already shaping up to be an amazing year.

Jacob

Exciting initiative!
I'm really looking forward to participating in this discussion Jacob.



Can't wait to chat about collaboration, coworking, collectives and COHIP,
especially since January 16th is also International Collaboration Day :)



It IS going to be an amazing year!
