What is coworking?
Coworking means different things within different coworking communities, but we like this definition from Cultivate Coworking:

Coworking describes independent workers coming together in one place with other independent workers and working side by side. They don’t have to work for the same company or even be doing the same kind of work. Coworkers enjoy the social and collaborative environment that a coworking space can provide while still being able to do their own thing. Coworkers are mostly freelancers, remote workers, small business owners, artists, non-profits, contractors, and other professionals that have the freedom to work wherever they like.

What are makerspaces?
Makerspaces are places which offer shared access to a variety of equipment to members. They can also be known as FabLabs, Techshops, or hackerspaces. We like this definition from MakerSpaces.com:

A makerspace is a collaborative work space inside a school, library or separate public/private facility for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools. These spaces are open to kids, adults, and entrepreneurs and have a variety of maker equipment including 3D printers, laser cutters, cnc machines, soldering irons and even sewing machines.

What are collaborative communities?
We think of ‘collaborative communities’ as groups of people who meet regularly (or irregularly) to share ideas and skills, and to pursue creative, social or business goals. They are an important part of any healthy community and economy. Collaborative communities may exist within coworking communities or makerspaces communities, but they may also meet & interact in a variety of locations, online or offline.

Curious? A great place to discover some of Winnipeg’s collaborative communities is to visit our Events page, which features upcoming Meetups.
