“The pioneers of our time are not taking the world at face value, as a given from outside; rather, they see the world as something you can pry open, something you can tinker with.” (opendesignnow.org)

As one of the pioneering movements of our time, coworking has been empowering people and teams coming from very different backgrounds and disciplines to gather and mingle,  not only for the purpose of sharing space and networks, but also of learning from each other and turning common insights into new realities or generating hybrid projects (co-learning, co-operation, collaboration). In the corporate world, developers are involving their end-users to design products and services for a specific, niche market (co-design or co-creation) and organizations are combining their products or brands (co-branding, co-marketing).  The prefix “co-”, and everything stemming from it, has been emerging as one of the most relevant trends in our time.

In addition to the panel there will be an open discussion amongst the panel and Shanghai’s creative innovators about the possibilities and challenges of co-working, new forms of collaborating and the role of design & art. We are inviting a limited number of audiences worldwide to participate live via an skype by adding anxiaophotos on skype with msg: “join xdw event” , or you are welcome to use hashtag #xdw on twitter or Weibo to follow us. This hashtag will be used for all the future Xindanwei events.

This event costs 30 RMB and is by invitation only to the first 30 audiences who RSVP. If you wish to participate, please email to xindanwei@gmail.com your name, organization, title, phone number, email and list out what kind of input you would like to bring to the event. We will provide unlimited fresh coffee and tea on site for the audiences.

“我们时代的先锋不以事物的表面判断其价值；恰恰相反，他们尝试橇动这世界，使其更加开放。” (opendesignnow.org)

作为当下先锋运动中的一种，联合办公使得不同背景不同专业领域的人和团队汇合和混合到一起，不光为了分享空间和人际网络，更是为了互相学习、结合各自领域的专业知识创造新的实践、打造跨界项目（联合学习，联合执行，合作）。在公司的环境里，项目开发者使终端用户介入产品和服务的设计里，以开发更有针对性、更细分的市场（联合设计或共同创造），而各个组织把他们的产品和品牌融合起来（品牌合作，共同市场）。前缀词“Co-”，以及由此发源的一切，已经成为我们这个时代最息息相关的潮流之一。

除了上述的小组成员，我们也将向上海的众多创意推动人开放讨论，探讨关于联合办公这种合作新模式的可能性和挑战，以及设计和艺术在其中的角色。我们还会邀请几位国际嘉宾通过网路连线参与到现场讨论中，如果您期望通过这种方式加入活动讨论，请在skype上添加anxiaophotos为好友，并注明：”join xdw event”。此外，活动还将通过Twitter和新浪weibo现场直播，相关信息将标签#xdw。将来新单位所有的活动都会用#xdw作为标签。

这场活动收费30元每人，并且仅限受邀出席。如果您希望参与这次活动，请将您的姓名、公司、职位、联系电话、邮件以及您希望参与活动的原因（您希望为活动带来什么？）发送邮件到 xindanwei@gmail.com，我们会把邀请派送给前30名最先预约、确认出席的回复者。我们将为与会者提供不限量现磨咖啡和茶水。
