Creative Futuring workshop for Mushrooming network

Mushrooming network of self-organized coworking spaces has grown from Helsinki to three other biggest cities in Finland. The amount of users and spaces has grown rapidly. How is the network itself doing at the moment? Can it still meet the needs of coworkers? What are its future potentials?

Welcome to the peak of the care for Mushrooming period! In this workshop we will unleash our creative forces for some utopian thinking and doing, landing back to Earth and concrete next steps in the end. The last hour of the workshop is dedicated for lunch that we offer for the participants. The earlier two weeks of the period dealt with mapping the topics and potential pitfalls of future Mushrooming.

Care for Mushrooming is a three-week period to flush some energy into the network and figure out its future potentials. Mushrooming in turn is all about making coworking more fun, creating better opportunities for coworking communities and activating vacant spaces in the cities. Based on non-profit value driven association, there is much freedom, but there are also challenges to tackle. (See e.g. city based groups in Facebook like Mushrooming HELSINKI, and the service mushrooming.fi)
