Coworking Spaces: Three Samples on How to Get Fun and Three Samples About Collaboration
Although it may be simple to spot the words **“collaboration”** or **“fun”** while reading articles on coworking across the internet, it may be a bit difficult to find examples on how people get fun and collaborate with each other in these spaces. The community is the main differentiator for coworking, which is why creating and nurturing the community is one of the main tasks of a space manager. Whether you are thinking about opening a new coworking space or you are struggling daily with these tasks, you can find great advice from coworking experts from the following resources: [Deskmag],(http://www.deskmag.com/ "Deskmag") [Coworking Wiki](http://wiki.coworking.org/w/page/16583831/FrontPage "Coworking Wiki"), [Alex Hillman's Blog](http://dangerouslyawesome.com/ "DangerouslyAwesome"), [Coworking Handbook](http://coworkinghandbook.com/ "Coworking Handbook") or [New Worker Magazine.](http://newworker.co/mag/ "New Worker Magazine") **“Collaboration”** and **“fun”** exists – I have experienced both many times at the Lanau Coworking Space in Madrid. In personal relationships, people need time to interact with each other in coworking spaces to make lasting relationships. The more time that is spent growing and building the community, the stronger the bonds between coworkers will become. Now, I will give some examples on how to get fun and collaborate in working spaces.

I recently came across this [TED video](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ted.com%2Ftalks%2Famanda_burden_how_public_spaces_make_cities_work&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNF-EhSCip2_Yz7T-On_Hi0WbKNKLA "TED jaime Lerner") by Amanda Burden regarding the urban planning of New York city. Amanda finishes the video saying: _“I believe that a successful city is like a fabulous party, people stay because they are having a great time”. In the video you can see one of the most well known public spaces in the last few years which is the High Line, promoted by _“Friends of the [High Line](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ted.com%2Ftalks%2Frobert_hammond_building_a_park_in_the_sky%23t-319727&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGlfChorn7Ze_NrDYiNqggUmrcgOA "High Line ")”_ and designed by **Diller&Scofidio** architects.
