Newsletter


This is our quartely newsletter about ourselves and the things we read, research and visit

Newsletter #1. Welcome!

Hi there, we were thinking on starting a newsletter a long time ago but many projects and new family members kept coming and we couldn’t find the time! Anyway, here it is, we hope to publish one per season from now on, sharing things that we have read/researched/visited as well as some news from us.

#CreativosIn


We developed CreativesIn as a tool for mapping, visualizing and understanding our own creative region. Since then the project has grown organically accross Europe

Lanzamiento de Creativos EnLasPalmasGC!

“#CreativosEn” es un proyecto abierto a otras comunidades y ciudades que desarrollamos en 2011 para visualizar la comunidad creativa de Córdoba. Ya que formamos parte de ella, queríamos conocerla mejor, saber quién la compone y a qué actividades se dedican.

Colaboratorio


Colaboratorio is our open innovation lab in which we work together with volunteers, creatives and other organizations in applied research projects based in free culture

Creative Hubs


Creative hubs are catalyst for the creative sector, there are as many models as hubs themselves, this is a selection of the ones that we like most

Coworking spaces are all around the world!

That is what we thought when we first arrived at the conference, we found people from many countries around the world wanting to share their experiences and wanting to know more about why the coworking community is becoming larger and larger! In brief these are some of the things that we found…

Geodesic domes


For us geodesic domes are much more than mesmerizing geometric structures, their unique characteristics made them specially suitable for build-it-together collective spaces

An open-source & low-cost geodesic dome system

Self-build as a social tool: Communities need collective spaces to gather for group activities and social support. The lack of a collective space to meet, discuss and perform group activities, especially at the early stages of the development of the community, can generate negative consequences in the future. Self-build can be a powerful social mechanism for strengthening communities. Examples of these communities are families, neighbours or young people in need of spaces for developing creativity, social actions or educational activities.

Creative Sector


The creative sector is leading a socio economic shift in Europe redifining the way we work and collaborate. We research on how the new digital, creative and cultural sector can contribute to social, cultural and economic development

Planificar o facilitar

Los medios locales se hacen eco esta semana de dos interesantes iniciativas que desde el sector público apoyan la industria creativo cultural en nuestra ciudad: la nueva incubadora del Proyecto Lunar y la promoción de un distrito creativo en torno al corredor cultural Corredera-Compañía-Mezquita.
