Προσπαθώντας να καλυφθεί η έλλειψη σχετικών εκδηλώσεων στα Ιωάννινα και να προωθήθεί η σχετικά νέα έννοια του coworking, μια ομάδα αποφάσισε να συνδυάσεί το casual coworking χαρακτήρα ενός Jelly με την παρουσίαση κάθε φορά ενός θέματος μέσα από την κοινότητα. Οι θεματικές περιλαμβάνουν web development, web design, Android application development, database design, database administration και image processing. Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες θα αναρτηθούν προσεχώς στον δικτυακό τόπο της κοινόητας του Jelly Ioannina, http://jelly-ioannina.gr

Η πρωτοβουλία στοχεύει την καθιέρωση των συναντήσεων, και την μελλοντικη συνεργασία σε project, την ανταλλαγή γνώσεων και ιδεών, όπως και οι αντίστοιχες πρωτοβουλίες-κοινότητες σε Αθήνα και Θεσσαλονίκη. Το περιβάλλον είναι πάντοτε ιδιαίτερα χαλαρό και ανεπίσημο και ανοιχτό. Η συχνότητα των συναντήσεών έχει καθοριστεί προς το παρόν σε δύο φορές το μήνα. Οι συναντήσεις ξεκίνησαν τον περασμένο Νοέμβριο και η κοινότητα του Jelly Ioannina συμμετέχει και στο WorldWide Jellyweek 2012, που θα διεξαγθεί 16-22 Ιανουαρίου 2012, σε 22 διαφορετικές χώρες και 62 πρωτοβουλίες να συμμετέχουν.

Sektor5, founded by Karin Ruthard and Yves Schulz and created in the heart of Vienna’s traditional 5th district a space where innovation meets a different mindset of creation.

Well, and while I was wondering what else could happen in a city in the heart of Europe, I just dropped a line to STARTEurope team, Andreas, Mortiz and Julian which lead us to an interesting brainstorm about the European entrepreneurial ecosystem which will come together during the StartUp Week 2011 in Vienna this October, because “the ideas of today are the opportunities of tomorrow!” .

So if you are in Vienna, take the chance to drop by at one of their events.

Jelly Coworking Community aims to establish an organization that promotes, engages, educates, supports social entrepreneurs, acting locally from Athens and Greece but empowering them within a global network of organizations.

The truth is that entrepreneurs are rarely motivated by the prospect of financial gain, because the odds of making lots of money are clearly stacked against them. Instead, both the entrepreneur and the social entrepreneur are strongly motivated by the opportunity they identify, pursuing that vision relentlessly, and deriving considerable psychic reward from the process of realizing their ideas.

What does a Social Entrepreneur?

A business entrepreneur might create entirely new industries, a social entrepreneur comes up with new solutions to social problems and then implements them on a large scale.
