Collective Intelligence: The Power of Community in Coliving Spaces 🧠🤝 Collective intelligence truly comes to life in coliving spaces. When people from diverse backgrounds, professions, and experiences share a common space, an environment is created where ideas flow, and collective knowledge is amplified. How can collective intelligence transform the coliving experience? Here are the benefits: 1. Community-Based Problem Solving: In coliving spaces, people face everyday challenges together, from resource management to organizing events. Diverse perspectives help generate innovative and practical solutions, where everyone contributes. This creates an environment where issues are resolved more efficiently through collective input. 2. Boosting Creativity and Innovation: Daily interactions between people with various skills and knowledge can lead to unexpected ideas. Coliving residents often organize workshops, brainstorming sessions, or events to share knowledge, fostering a creative atmosphere that enriches everyone’s life. 3. Mutual Support and Learning: Collective intelligence not only enhances daily life but also facilitates personal and professional growth. Residents in coliving spaces often support one another, share advice, and even collaborate on professional projects, creating an environment of continuous learning. 4. Building Community Cohesion: Collective intelligence strengthens the sense of belonging and unity in coliving spaces. When everyone participates in decision-making and contributes to the group’s well-being, it fosters a strong community spirit. This cohesion is essential for a more meaningful and enriching coliving experience. 5. Developing Social and Leadership Skills: Living in an environment that values collective intelligence allows residents to develop social skills, such as empathy and effective communication. Additionally, there are opportunities to take on leadership roles in community tasks, enhancing interpersonal skills. In short, coliving spaces offer more than just a place to live; they are incubators of shared knowledge, innovation, and collaboration. By harnessing collective intelligence, coliving becomes a transformative experience that goes beyond material needs, allowing each resident to grow personally. What do you think about collective intelligence in coliving? Do you think it has the potential to improve community life? 💡 #Coliving #CollectiveIntelligence #Innovation #SharedLiving #Community #PersonalGrowth

🌍 Mapping Accessibility Together! 🗺️ As part of the EIT Urban Mobility RAPTOR Helsinki Challenge, Dreamwaves, in collaboration with humankind, Forum Virium Helsinki, and the Helsingin kaupunki – Helsingfors stad – City of Helsinki, set out to better understand the experiences of blind, visually impaired, and wheelchair users navigating Helsinki's public spaces. 🚶♀️🦽 Through on-site observations, interviews, and surveys, the study highlighted key obstacles like construction site changes, poor winter maintenance, and uneven surfaces—barriers that impact daily mobility and safety. 🔑 What did we learn? 1️⃣ Citizens value tools to plan safe, accessible routes and communicate obstacles in real time. 2️⃣ Empathy and community engagement are crucial to improving urban mobility. 3️⃣ Solutions like Dreamwaves empower users to map and share accessibility challenges—making cities more inclusive for everyone. This work underscores the power of collaboration and the importance of scalable, crowdsourced methods to create cities where everyone belongs. 💡 A big thank you to Marta Nosowicz and Irene Verde from HumanKind for their research efforts, our partners Satu Reijonen and Jussi Knuuttila from Forum Virium Helsinki and Juho Kostiainen from the City of Helsinki, and the citizens of Helsinki for their valuable insights. Together, we're building smarter, kinder cities! 📲 What’s next? Stay tuned as we explore how Dreamwaves can enable communities to map accessibility issues and drive positive change. #AccessibilityMatters #InclusiveCities #SmartUrbanSolutions #Crowdsourcing #RAPTORChallenge #Dreamwaves #HumanKind #ForumViriumHelsinki #MunicipalityOfHelsinki #InnovationForImpact

New project "We Are Streetwise" with Utrecht, Antwerp and Marseille and how we as Wetopia will be working with "the power of place". 💪 Power of what? How big is here? What is the story of this place that we can discover and develop together by understanding the place and seeing the potential of this place. In its environment, its origins and history, its people and communities, its mentality, its nature, its heritage and practices, its essence. This is a big question that drives me in every project and is at the heart of the Wetopia work I do. Whether with ‘Girls Make the City’ in the Marolles, Molenbeek West or Langa. Or with Brussels as a region for ‘This is Us. This is Brussels.’ Or with Molenbeek as a candidate cultural capital of Europe. Or all the projects we do in Marseille. Really understanding as a group your own city or neighbourhood and seeing the potential to develop it further, gives a lot of new insights and strength for small and big changes. Because every place is unique and also carries within it new solutions that can only really work in that place. That is why I do not believe in ‘good practices’ to be copied. In the coming period, I will explore Metbasta (Tunisia), La Viste (Marseille), Athlone (Cape Town), among others. Talking, visiting, observing carefully and asking lots of questions. 🚀 We Are Streetwise Today I had a first great conversation with Mustafa Bodara about Utrecht in the Netherlands.  In the framework of the Erasmus+ project ‘We Are Streetwise’ that will be develop with Mustafa's organisation M&K, Blenders, Marseille Solutions and Roots Flanders, we want to work on a successful future for young people outside crime. The context of the three cities Utrecht, Marseille and Antwerp and their potential will become the basis of new practices. So really understanding the three places and seeing their potential will be crucial. I look forward to being well fuelled for this framework work by the young people of the cities themselves, by other city residents and by the fantastic professionals of the organisations setting up the project M Bodara Stichting M&K Abdessamad Bouabid Marseille Solutions Camille Chapuis Yunus Denizli Roots Vlaanderen BLENDERS Jan Van Laer Kris Verellen This is of course an evolving work and task. But what do you think? ⁉️What is it that makes Utrecht Utrecht? ❤️Why do inhabitants from Antwerp love their city? ☝️What makes Marseille different than the rest of the world? #powerofplace #wetopia #wearestreetwise #regenerativedevelopment 📸 Marseille street photography by Razzi for Moving*Marseille

🌍 Innovation in Inclusivity at Trailhead Community 🌍 In our journey at Trailhead, we've always championed the creation of spaces that are not just functional, but truly inclusive. This fascinating article from the Università degli Studi di Trieste highlights an innovative project called "BesensHome," which uses advanced sensors to create environments that adapt to the needs of those who use them. BesensHome's approach to using technology for inclusivity resonates deeply with our mission. Like BeSENSHome, we believe that every space should anticipate and respond to the needs of its inhabitants, making daily life not just easier, but more enriching. At Trailhead Community, we integrate similar technologies to ensure our environment is not only accessible but genuinely accommodating. It’s about more than just meeting standards—it's about creating a sense of belonging. As we continue to innovate and build, let’s take inspiration from global advancements like these. They remind us that our work isn't just about building spaces—it's about forging communities where everyone feels at home. 👥 What innovations are you excited to see in inclusive community building?

🎉 Exciting Times with Artof.Co Coliving Incubator! A huge shoutout to Artof.Co, Mayank Pokharna and Gui Perdrix for making me part of their coliving incubator as a speaker and mentor about experience design in coliving spaces. Your commitment to pushing the boundaries of coliving is truly inspiring. Thank you for being pioneers in this space! Living together isn't just about sharing spaces; it's about shaping experiences that touch every part of our lives, from work to personal relationships and beyond. In coliving, my work emphasises into designing for two crucial aspects: 🏃♀️ Individual Experience: Making each person feel at home, where comfort and authenticity reign. 👨👨👧👧 Collective Experience: Building a sense of belonging, where every member feels part of a vibrant community. Today, more than ever, we must be intentional about our interactions and recognize that our physical spaces serve as schools of life. They offer unparalleled opportunities to learn, to connect, and to grow together in ways that enrich not just our own lives but those around us. As an Experience Designer for coliving spaces, my goal is simple but powerful: bridge the individual and collective experiences to create environments where human beings thrives, both personally and as a community. Interested in how we can make coliving spaces even more impactful? Let’s chat (link in comment)! We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible when we design with intention.
