Title of Work:

Community within a coworking space

Abstract:

Coworking is a fairly new type of working environment. A coworking space is a social place where people from different backgrounds can come together and share an expertise or new ideas. Coworking also provides an opportunity to build a community and learn from fellow coworking members. That being said, my internship in Madrid, Spain was at a coworking space named Talent Garden. During my internship I had many responsibilities. For example, I would plan events, work on social media posts, create different channels on Slack, create security badges, and finally build professional relationships with the coworking community. This report will primarily focus on my investigation into the importance of community within a coworking space and how they have grown and become more popular throughout society because of the inclusivity.

Comunidad entre un espacio de coworking

Abstract (IGP Language):

El término coworking es un tipo de trabajo bastante nuevo. Un espacio de coworking es un lugar social donde personas de diferentes orígenes pueden reunirse y compartir una experiencia o nuevas ideas. El término coworking provee la oportunidad de construir una comunidad y aprender de otros miembros del coworking. Mi pasantía en Madrid, España, fue en un espacio de coworking llamado Talent Garden. Durante mi pasantía tuve muchas responsabilidades: planificar eventos, trabajar en publicaciones en redes sociales, crear diferentes canales en Slack, crear credenciales de seguridad y, finalmente, establecer relaciones profesionales con la comunidad de coworking. Este informe se centrará principalmente en mi investigación sobre la importancia de la comunidad dentro de un espacio de coworking y cómo han crecido en sociedad debido a la inclusión.

Elevator Pitch Transcript:

Hello everyone, my name is Lexey Duitscher. I am currently a 5th year student double majoring in Marketing and Spanish. I was studying abroad in Madrid, Spain at the Universidad Carlos Tercero. At the university I took business classes which included digital marketing and Spanish electives. Also, I had the opportunity to complete my fieldwork experience with a coworking company called Talent Garden. A coworking space is a social place where people from different backgrounds can come together and share an expertise or new ideas. During my internship I performed multiple tasks and had a lot of responsibilities. For example, I would plan events, work on social media posts, create different channels on Slack, and build professional relationships within the coworking community. The most important thing I learned was about community and professional relationships. That being said, the title of my presentation is called “Community Within a Coworking Space”. My project is interesting because it shows the importance of professional relationships within a community built through events that I helped plan. My work at Talent Garden was particularly interesting to me because I had the opportunity to work with people from all over the world and learn in a new working environment. I believe some key takeaways from my work at Talent Garden include inclusivity, the importance of event planning, community, and social media content. I really do believe I will use these skills in future employment opportunities. Thank you, I hope you enjoy my presentation.
