Greetings from the selfHUB

The selfHUB is a room for people with ideas for social innovation. After we have moved in, we are now inviting our friends to join us working from the selfHUB.

We have made post cards to invite 5 of our friends personally.

Those friends have then the possibility to invite another 5 of their friends.

We Are What We Do has already moved into the selfHUB and ecochoice and Standardfinanz will follow December 01.

Our Social Pioneers: Gabriela Ender

Gertrud Graf, a teacher from the self network, has interviewed Social Pioneer Gabriela Ender about her social technology OpenSpace-Online for the German magazine "ab 40":

"Each day, millions of people travel around the globe to attend meetings, workshops, trainings and conferences. The cost for organizing, traveling and time are enormous and the CO2 exhaustion levels are gigantic. What can we do? Should our "globalized" world renounce its most valuable kind of communication, the meeting of people face-to-face? No, says Gabriela Ender. The question is not one of renunciation but of how to consciously create sustainable bridges between our offline and online modes. Gabriela Ender is a visionary, a progressive thinker and an enabler. She puts the people squarely into the center of her internet-based conference method and initiates on a global level totally new processes for learning, finding solutions and initiating change in society, economy, politics, education and research."

We are moving in!!!

We have received the keys for the selfHUB last Thursday and are slowly moving in.

Frauke is already working from the selfHUB since her internet broke at home ;-)

Thank you to Johannes, Tanja, Sebastian, Jürgen, Hans-Albrecht, and Konrad for helping us last week in cleaning, moving, painting, and drilling.

We will continue our work the next Saturdays building shelves and separation walls using old carton boxes. If you would like to join in with helping hands, please email Lucas at: l.winterfeld@self-germany.de
