Coworking Manifesto

Unsere Wurzeln • Our Roots • Nuestro Origen

DIE WURZELN unserer Coworking Community reichen weit zurück: Der Begriff Coworking geht auf Bernie DeKoven zurück, der ihn 1999 “erfand”, um die Zusammenarbeit von Freelancer zu unterstützen, die gleichzeitig an ihren eigenen Projekten arbeiten. 2005 führte Software-Entwickler Brad Neuberg die Idee weiter, in dem er für eine flexible Gemeinschaft von selbständig Tätigen einen Ort schuf. Und schliesslich 2012 verfassten Coworking-EnthusiastInnen das Coworking Manifesto.

THE ROOTS of our coworking community go back a long way: the term Coworking goes back to Bernie DeKoven, who „invented“ it in 1999 to support the collaboration of freelancers who also work on their own projects. In 2005, software developer Brad Neuberg continued the idea by creating a place for a flexible community of freelancers. And finally, in 2012, coworking enthusiasts wrote the Coworking Manifesto.

LAS RAÍCES de nuestra comunidad de coworking se remontan a hace mucho tiempo: el término Coworking se refiere a Bernie DeKoven, quien lo „inventó“ en 1999 para apoyar la colaboración de trabajadores autónomos que también trabajan en sus propios proyectos. En 2005, el desarrollador de software Brad Neuberg continuó la idea creando un lugar para una comunidad flexible de trabajadores independientes. Y finalmente, en 2012, los entusiastas del coworking escribieron el Manifiesto del Coworking.

The Future of Work

The Challenge

We believe that society is facing unprecedented economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges. We also believe that new innovations are the key to turning these challenges into opportunities to improve our communities and our planet.

The Solution

Coworking is redefining the way we do work. Inspired by the participatory culture of the open source movement and the empowering nature of IT, we are building a more sustainable future.

We are a group of connected individuals and small businesses creating an economy of innovation and creativity in our communities and worldwide. We envision a new economic engine composed of collaboration and community, in contrast to the silos and secrecy of the 19th/20th century economy.

The Value / The Code of Conduct of the Community

We have the talent. We just need to work together. Different environments need to overlap, to connect and to interact in order to transform our culture.

In order to create a sustainable community based on trust, we value:

This new economy cannot thrive without engaging the larger business, creative, entrepreneurial, governmental, non governmental and technical communities together.

The Future

We believe that innovation breeds innovation. We will transform the world culture into one supportive of the entrepreneurial spirit, of risk taking, of pioneering into the unknown territories as the great leaders of our times. This requires education, entrepreneurship and a large network of creative workspaces.

We are reshaping the economy and the society through social entrepreneurship and innovation. Our communities are coming together to rebuild more human scale, networked, and sustainable economies to build a better world.
