What is Coworking?

The idea is simple: independent professionals and those with workplace flexibility work better together than they do alone. Coworking spaces are about community-building and sustainability. Participants agree to uphold the values set forth by the movement’s founders, as well as interact and share with one another. We are about creating better places to work and as a result, a better way to work. 

 

Our Values:

The members of this Community are engaged with and working on a model and approach that we call Open Coworking.  We are spaces all over the world, we work in many different languages and our businesses all look very different.  So how can we all be part of one big community?

Here's how.  We have all committed to the same core values.  Our values are:

  • Collaboration
  • Openness
  • Community
  • Accessibility
  • Sustainability

What is the Coworking Wiki?

It offers resources for present and potential coworkers, space owners and operators, and those seeking to form their own coworking space.
