The State of Belonging: Repairing Our Social Fabric

Today, you will get to the heart of coworking and community building with guest host Tony Bacigalupo.

A pioneer in the coworking world, Tony spearheads this series called Belongfulness, focusing on our innate desire for connection - not just within coworking spaces but extending to our broader communities and personal interactions.

In April 2024, Jon will do a live Q&A at the London Coworking Assembly Breakfast Show led by Joyce Ogunade, Head of the Affordable Workspace Programme for the London Borough of Islington.

You must be on the London Coworking Assembly weekly newsletter to get an invite.

​We created this event specifically for coworking space owners, operators, and community managers keen on strengthening their ties with the local economy and community.

Remember, the strength of our communities lies in our collective efforts and shared values.

Please rate, follow, share, and leave the Coworking Values Podcast a review; it helps our show's impact in ways you wouldn't believe.

It also helps people in the wider general public and your neighbourhood understand what coworking is, how it can help their local community, and how it can benefit them in building their careers, projects and work.
