Vom Coworking zur neuen Lernkultur: betahaus I Salon am 17.November in Berlin

ARBEIT OHNE CHEF UND LERNEN OHNE LEHRER? VOM COWORKING ZUR NEUEN LERNKULTUR

betahaus I Berlin , 17. November 2011, 19:30-22:00 Uhr

Die Zukunft der Arbeit und die Zukunft des Lernens sind eng verknüpft. Überall auf der Welt entstehen derzeit innovative Lern- und Arbeitsorte, die auf vergleichbaren Prinzipien beruhen. Bisher wurde diese Parallelentwicklung jedoch nur getrennt gedacht. Das betahaus I Berlin und Bildungsaktivist Basti Hirsch laden deshalb ein, dies zu ändern.

PANEL:
- Anna-Lena Schiller, Kaospilot und Visuelle Denkerin ()
- Christian Füller, Bildungsjournalist und Buchautor
- Margret Rasfeld, Schulleiterin ESBZ und Bildungsinnovatorin
- Peter Bihr, digitaler Strategieberater, The Third Wave
- Sebastian Olma, Philosoph & Unternehmensberater
- Susanne Stövhase, Schulgründerin & Künstlerin

MODERATION:
Daniela Marzavan (Dozentin für Design Thinking an der HTW Berlin) und Basti Hirsch.

Alex Hillman, the co-founder of Indy Hall and a respected leader in the global coworking community and industry has just recently written up a great series of posts exploring the 5 core values of coworking:

Sustainability

Accessibility

Openness

Community

Collaboration

On October 23, 2011 from 1:00PM to 5:00PM (time zone: New York) Alex will offer a half-day workshop to share his coworking knowledge to give people interested in coworking the confidence in launching and running a healthy, happy, and sustainable coworking space and community.

If you can´t join him in his online-workshop you will have the chance to see him in person at the European Coworking Conference 2011 in Berlin. He will give there on the 3rd of november a keynote “Taking coworking the next level: it’s all about community!”

Here are some  informations about his Coworkshop taken from his event posting on StageHQ.com

The core topics of his workshop are divided into four primary segments:

1.     How to Market a Coworking Space
2.     An Intro to Community Dynamics
3.     Business Foundations for Coworking
4.     Operating a Coworking Space for the Long Haul

plus at least 30 minutes for an action packed Q&A.

The entire course will be recorded and shared in the week following the course. All ticket holders will receive a copy of the audio and video, a full text transcription of the audio, a full transcript of the chat room, AND printable PDF versions of the slides. There’s also a private discussion group ONLY for alumni of this workshop for ongoing networking, discussions, questions, early access to future events, etc.

And you’ll receive a welcome package with attendance instructions in the week before the course.

How do I attend?

This course is conducted LIVE over the internet – so you can attend from anywhere with just a web browser and an internet connection. You’ll watch big, beautiful slides along with a video inset of Alex’s lecture. There’s also a chat room for all live participants to interact, network, and share their own ideas.

Tickets are $375, limited to 30 seats! Grab your ticket here.

Who’s it for?

This course has been previously attended by coworking catalysts at various stages of the development from nearly a dozen countries around the world. From the coworking beginner to the seasoned veteran, there’s value in here for you.

The Making of Praktikum Lab at Social Media Week Berlin, 19-23 September 2011

Great to see that Peer2peer skillsharing initiatives (like the one in cologne a while ago) are popping up all over the world. This time in Berlin. Have a look at the making of Praktikum Lab that took place during the Social Media Week in Berlin.

Here is what they say about the Praktikum Lab on their website:

Together with Jovoto, Startnext, and Social Media week Berlin we’re hosting a series of micro-classes. Walk in and become part of the installation as a teacher, a student, or both!

We want you to teach something! Think of something you know that could be valuable to someone else. It should be something specific that you can share in 15-30 minutes, something that you can teach using things that you have with you, and something that people can practice on the spot. Think – how to tie a neck tie, a bird call, a negotiation technique, or how to cache a map on your mobile phone…

We want you to learn something! You can learn things like: how to take Polaroids using Impossible Project film, an ancient Japanese technique to release an arm grip, how to spread a complex idea, and how to be happy all the time…
Program

Here’s what’s on so far… Can you teach a micro-class? Pop in or tweet us @praktikumlab

The Coworking Week – one week of working, building, sharing and growing in germany

Book recommendation: Infinite possibility by Joseph Pine & Kim Korn

Joe Pine, known from The Experience Economy, is the lead author of Infinite Possibility.

In this short video he shares his point of view on the convergence of the digital and real worlds and what businesses can do to leverage opportunities found in the Multiverse.

For those of you who want to dive deeper into Joe Pine´s multiverse framework  can do so by watching this video and by watching some of his longer presentations here.

So what does all of this mean for progressing the experience of coworkers? What does this mean for innovating business models of freelancers and coworkings spaces? Tough questions! And it will surely take some time to find answers. The Coworking Conference in Berlin from 03 to 05 of november will surely be a good place to start discussing those questions with thought leaders from the coworking multiverse. One of them will be Ronald van den Hoff, the founder of  seats2meet  and mindz.com who is hosting a masterclass with Joseph Pine in Utrecht on the 30th of september in Utrecht. If you want to dig into his ideas about the future of work and society 3.0 have a look at this interview with him coined “Social Ecosystem”.

A beautiful idea: Trade School – Barter for instruction

Trade School celebrates practical wisdom, mutual respect, and the social nature of exchange.

“So, from February 25th to March 1st, 2010, we ran Trade School at GrandOpening in the Lower East Side. Over the course of 35 days, more than 800 people participated in 76 single session classes. Classes ran for 1, 2, or 3 hours and ranged from scrabble strategy to composting, from grant writing to ghost hunting. In exchange for instruction, teachers received everything from running shoes to mixed CDs, from letters to a stranger to cheddar cheese. We ran out of time slots for teachers to teach and classes filled up so quickly that we had to turn people away. This made us think, “we should keep doing this!”

Der erste “Coworking School” Prototyp ist online

Die Coworking School ist ein gemeinsames Lern-Experiment!

Entstanden ist die Idee vor ein paar Monaten auf dem Coworking Barcamp in Wuppertal. (Piratepad der Barcamp Session)

Lasst uns gemeinsam herausfinden, wie wir peer-2-peer learning dazu nutzen können, um Coworking Spaces noch wertvoller zu machen. Die Coworking School soll auch für all diejenigen Menschen eine spannende Vernetzungsplattform werden, die Coworking toll finden, aber schon ein eigenes schönes Büro haben.

Wie immer ist auch bei der Coworking School alles im Fluß (um nicht zu sagen alles in beta).

Ziel ist es bis zur Coworking Conference im November einen working prototype zu haben, der die Coworking Spaces in Europa zu einer großen bunten Lern- und Austauschplattform miteinander vernetzt.

Wenn wir dann noch die Übernachtungsfrage geschickt damit kombinieren können, dann steht auch Bildungsreisen 3.0 nichts mehr im Wege.

Next Step: Wie können wir während der Coworking Week gemeinsam an der Weiterentwicklung des Coworking School Prototyps arbeiten?

Jeder der Ideen, Code-Schnipsel, Designentwürfe zur Verbesserung der Coworking School Webseite entwickeln will ist herzlich dazu eingeladen. Ich gebe Euch dann gerne Administrator-Rechte für den Worpress-Blog. Schreibt einfach Eure Ideen, Vorschläge und Fragen hier ins Piratepad oder schickt eine mail an info@coworkingschool.com
